2v.12 Now I am meaning this, that each one of you is saying: “I am of Paul,”and “I of Apollos,” and “I of Cephas,” and “I of Christ.”v.13 Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Orwere you baptized in the name of Paul?v.14 I am thankful that I baptized not even one of you, except Crispus andGaius,v.15 lest anyone should say you were baptized in my name.v.16 Now I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that I amnot knowing whether I baptized any other.v.17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to be preaching the gospel,not in cleverness of speech, in order that the cross of Christ should not bemade void.NOTES1.

Where is the scribe? Where is the debater ofthis age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?v.21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did notcome to know God, God was well pleased through the foolishness of themessage preached to save those who are believing.v.22 For indeed Jews are asking for signs, and Greeks are searching forwisdom.v.23 But we are preaching Christ, the one who has been crucified; to Jewsa stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness,v.24 but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ thepower of God and the wisdom of God.v.25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weaknessof God is stronger than men.v.26 For take a good look at your call, brethren, that there were not manywise according to human standards, not many powerful, not many well born;v.27 but God picked out the foolish things of the world in order that Hemight put to shame the wise, and God picked out the weak things of theworld in order that He might put to shame the powerful.v.28 And the insignificant (not well born) of the world and those who havebeen utterly despised, God picked out, the things that are not, in order thatHe might nullify the things that are,v.29 in order that no flesh should boast before God.v.30 But out from Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom to usfrom God, both righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,v.31 in order that, just as it has been written: “He who is boasting, let him beboasting in the Lord.”2:v.1 And when I came to you, brethren, I came not as a superior person inspeech or wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.v. 2 For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, andthat One having been crucified.v. 3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling.NOTESCopyright 2021 by Bible Teaching Resources by Don Anderson Ministries.STUDY NUMBER TWO – 1 CORINTHIANS 1:18-2:5

In the same manner also the thoughts of Godno one has known except the Spirit of God.v.12 Now we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is fromGod, in order that we might come to know the things freely given to us byGod,v.13 which things we also are speaking, not in words taught by humanwisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts withspiritual words.v.14 But the unspiritual man is not accepting the things of the Spirit of God;for they are foolishness to him, and he is not able to understand them,because it must be examined in a manner consistent with the (divine) Spirit.v.15 But he who is spiritual is examining all things, yet he himself is notbeing examined by anyone.v.16 For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct Him?But we are having the mind of Christ.

Indeed, even now you are not yet able,v. 3 for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife amongyou, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking around like mere men?v. 4 For when one is saying: “I am of Paul,” and another, I am of Apollos,”are you not mere men?v. 5 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom youbelieved, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one.v. 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth.v. 7 So that neither the one who is planting nor the one who is watering isanything, but God who is causing the growth.v. 8 Now the one who is planting and the one who is watering are one; buteach one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.v. 9 For we are God’s fellow-workers; you are God’s cultivated land, God’sbuilding.v.10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wisemaster builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon it. But leteach man be taking heed how he is building upon it.NOTESCopyright 2021 by Bible Teaching Resources by Don Anderson Ministries.LESSON #5: The spiritual man is free to examine all things.

10v.11 For no man is able to lay another foundation alongside that which isbeing laid, which is Jesus Christ.v.12 Now if any man is building upon the foundation with gold, silver,precious stones, wood, hay, straw,v.13 the work of each person will become apparent, for the day will make itplain, because it is to be revealed with fire; and the fire itself will test thequality of each man’s work.v.14 If any man’s work which he built upon it shall remain, he shall receive areward.v.15 If any man’s work shall be burned up, he shall suffer loss; but hehimself shall be saved, yet so as through fire.NOTES1.

If any man among you is thinkinghimself to be wise in the things of this age, let him become foolish in orderthat he may become wise.v.19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it has beenwritten, “He is the one who is catching the wise in their craftiness.”v.20 And again, “The Lord is knowing the reasonings of the wise, that theyare useless.”v.21 So then, let no one continue to be boasting in men, for all things areyours,v.22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death orthings present or things about to come; all things belong to you,v.23 and you belong to Christ; and Christ belongs to God.4:v.1 In this manner let a man be regarding us, as servants Christ, andstewards of the mysteries of God.v. 2 In this case, moreover, it is required of stewards that one be foundfaithful.v. 3 But to me it is a very small thing that I should be examined by you, orby any human court; in fact, I am not even examining myself.v. 4 For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet by this I have notbeen acquitted; but the one who is examining me is the Lord.v. 5 Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait untilthe Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darknessand bring out in the open the motives of men’s hearts; and then each man’spraise will come to him from God.

And if theworld is being judged by you, are you not competent to settle trivial cases?v. 3 Are you not knowing that we shall judge angels? How much more theordinary matters of this life?v. 4 If then you are having law courts dealing with the ordinary matters ofthis life, are you appointing as judges men who have no standing in thechurch?v. 5 I am saying this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among youone wise man who will be able to decide between his brethren?v. 6 But brother is going to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?v. 7 Actually, then, it is already an utter defeat for you, that you are havinglawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather berobbed?v. 8 On the contrary, you yourselves are wronging and robbing, and thatyour brethren.v. 9 Or are you not knowing that the unrighteous shall not inherit thekingdom of God? Stop being deceived; neither one who is practicing sexualimmorality, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,v.10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor abusers, norswindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God.v.11 And such were some of you; but you were washed, but you weresanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and inthe Spirit of our God.v.12 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All thingsare lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything.v.13 Food is for the stomach, and the stomach is for food; but God will doaway with both of them. Yet the body is not for immorality, but for the Lord;and the Lord is for the body.v.14 Now God raised up the Lord and will also raise us up through Hispower.v.15 Are you not knowing that your bodies are members of Christ? Havingtaken away then the members of Christ, shall I make them members of aharlot? May it never be!v.16 Or are you not knowing that the one who is joining himself to a harlot isone body with her? For He is saying, “The two will become one flesh.”v.17 But the one who is joining himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him.v.18 Be fleeing immorality. Every act of sin which a man may do is outsideof his body, but the one who is sexual immorality is sinning against his ownbody.v.19 Or are you not knowing that your body is a temple of the Holy Spiritwho is in you, whom you are having from God, and that you are not yourown?v.20 For you were purchased with a price. Now therefore glorify God inyour body.Notes
