dc.description.abstract	This article investigates the rhetoric Paul used in 1 Corinthians 2 to create a dichotomous spirituality among his readers in order to convince the readers of the necessity and importance of the correct discernment of the wisdom of God. This is needed to address the problem of factionalism which led to the schism in the Corinthian believing community. The rhetorical devices implemented by Paul to convince his readers to accept his message of the importance to know the wisdom of God are: repetition, comparison and contrast, dialectic language, curiosity and an attractive result.	en
