在格林多教會的門徒中，有些人喜歡某些老師的教導，有些人則喜歡其他老師的。他們因對不同老師的偏愛而產生了分歧。

保祿的回答是，上主使他們相信的教導並非出於任何外在的吸引力：他們相信的是宣告被釘十字架的耶穌的話語。

並非任何華麗的辭藻打動了他們，而是上主的大能。

因此，我們無需追求聽覺或心靈的愉悅。

重要的是接受耶穌，唯獨接受耶穌，接受十字架上的耶穌。

Among the Corinthian disciples, some liked the teaching of some teachers more than that of others. There were dissensions among them because of their preferences for one teacher over another.

Paul answers by showing that God made them believe through a teaching that was empty of any attraction: they believed through words that announced them the crucified Jesus.

Not any artistic speech convinced them; rather, it was the power of God. Therefore, there is no need to look for pleasure of the ears or of the mind. What is important is to embrace Jesus and Jesus alone, Jesus on the cross.
