Religious ‘Slogans’ in 1 Corinthians: Wit, Wisdom, and the Quest for Status in a Roman Colony

520 |a First Corinthians contains a number of well-known maxims, commonly called ‘slogans’ in the commentary tradition, but which Paul’s contemporaries would have called sententiae (Gk. γνῶμαι). A handful of these appear to have been coined by rival teachers at Corinth. Others have obviously been composed by Paul himself, often in direct response to his competitors. Commentators have long studied these ‘slogans’, especially those attributable to Paul’s rivals, for information about the Corinthian assembly. But why sententiae in the first place? And why at Corinth and not, say, at Paul’s earlier foundation at Thessalonica? The answer to these neglected questions lies in the essential role sententiae came to play in the elite rhetoric of Paul’s day, rhetoric Paul first confronted at Corinth. Paul would always lack the education to match the easy eloquence of his cultural betters. But he could with effort imitate their genus dicendi or way of speaking in his written correspondence, which he first attempts in 1 Corinthians. The mixed result is neatly summarized in 2 Corinthians 10:10: ‘His letters, they say, are weighty and strong; nevertheless, his physical presentation is weak and his speech contemptible’. Readers of Paul’s Corinthian letters do well to consider his cultural precarity.
