Paul reminds the Corinthians that the power of the gospel does not rest in human wisdom or eloquence, but in the cross of Christ, which the world deems foolish. God deliberately overturns worldly values, shaming the wise and the strong through what seems weak and despised. In the paradox of the cross, true wisdom and salvation are revealed, showing that all glory belongs to God alone.
