1 Corinthians 1:1-9
1 CorinthiansSteve Gregg
In this commentary on 1 Corinthians 1:1-9, Steve Gregg explores various themes present in the text. The letter written by Paul to the Corinthian church deals with several problems faced by the church, including devisions, immorality, litigation, and chaotic behavior during worship. The central message of the text is the obligation to love one another, and Paul emphasizes the importance of love and consideration for others when making decisions regarding Christian liberty. The relevance of the letter to modern-day Christians may require a deeper understanding of the cultural and historical context in which it was written.
