ACC ~ 1 Corinthians 1 v24b

GOD’S POWER IS SUFFICIENT. CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA: The Savior’s teaching is sufficient without additional help, for it is the power and wisdom of God. STROMATEIS 1.100.1.20

GOD’S WISDOM IS INTERWOVEN WITH GOD’S POWER. GREGORY OF NYSSA: Through this description of Christ we derive notions of the divine which make the name an object of reverence for us. Since all creation, both perceptible and imperceptible, came into being through him and is united with him, wisdom is necessarily interwoven with power in connection with the very definition of Christ, the maker of all things. ON PERFECTION.21

THE CROSS AS PATTERN. PELAGIUS: Note that Paul does not say that the divinity of Christ is God’s power and wisdom, but rather the pattern of the cross. COMMENTARY ON THE FIRST EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS 1.22

PREACHING THE CROSS. THEODORE OF MOPSUESTIA: The power and wisdom of God is not the divinity of Christ as such but the preaching of the cross. PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH.23
