Abstract: We have chosen 1Cor for our study because we find no reference to external attacks on the Apostle in this letter. We may therefore assume that Paul used the Old Testament “freely” in his argumentation. Although the apostle was now forced to communicate with the congregation by letter, he nevertheless reminded them of his teaching fifteen times by means of various Old Testament quotations, which obviously referred back to his sermons, or he wished to use them to emphasize the vitality and reality of the dialogue. In our study, we are not looking for an answer to the question of how the first readers of the letter understood these quotations. We do not want to answer the question of how literal the quotations are or on which text they are based. Rather, we want to use a specific text to approach the question of how Paul used these Old Testament references in his argumentation. To do this, we will look at a specific passage, namely 1Cor 1:26–31.
Key words: election, interpretation, 1 Corinthians, Pauline theology
