In 1 Corinthians in particular, chapters 1–4 and chapter 15 evidence the kerygmatic dual<br />

motif of the condemned boaster and the vindicated cruciform sufferer, while chapters 5–<br />

14 serve as an extended ethical application. The function of this rhetorical arrangement is<br />

await his manifestation, rather than to emulate the boastful “rulers of this age” who await<br />

condemnation.<br />
