In this section Paul takes a moment to correct any misconceptions that the Corinthians may have towards Paul's view of wisdom. Because he has come down so hard on worldly wisdom the church in Corinth may be tempted to believe that Paul is anti-wisdom. This couldn't be further from the truth. The purpose of this passage is to teach the Corinthians that wisdom is actually of God and that he, through Jesus and the Apostles, chose to impart that wisdom to believers by the Spirit. Paul's desire is to help the Corinthian believers to understand that they are not only in Christ, they have been given the mind of Christ.
