Paul does not ask this question because he is looking for information. Rather, he asks it to involve the Corinthians in what he is arguing. He himself gives the answer to the question in the next sentences. If your readers would misunderstand this question, you could express the idea by using a word or phrase that introduces a conclusion or solution.
