The Message is a Person
Commentators emphasize that Paul's ministry was centered on a person, not just a system of belief. The verse says, 'Whom we proclaim,' focusing on Christ himself. This proclamation has two key parts: 'admonishing' (warning people of their need for Christ and the necessity of repentance) and 'teaching' (instructing believers in the wisdom of the gospel).
