	The First Letter to the Corinthians
		The Corinthians it seemed, according to these visitors, were breaking up into cliques or factions; not about anything of moral or doctrinal significance but merely about their favorite teachers.
		This letter was probably short and must have been lost, unless it is preserved, perhaps in pan, in what we know as II Cor.
		Returning to the topics of their letter, he comes to the question of spiritual endowments, and particularly the disturbing matter of ecstatic speaking, which was apparently wrecking their public worship and mutual instruction, chapter 12.

		They were written to the church at Corinth by Paul whose stay in Corinth is recorded in the Acts of the Apostles.
		The first main part attacks factionalism at Corinth, giving as its remedy the mystery of the Cross and showing the true nature of Christian ministry.
		The last portion of the letter contains a defense of the apostle's mission, citing his authority and recounting incidents in his life as an apostle in ironic terms, in satiric mimicry of rhetorical conventions of the day.

		The commentary seeks to understand 1 Corinthians in its context, that is, in terms of the community life of the Corinthian Christians, and emphasizes the way in which Paul encouraged the faith community in its life and mission.
		Gerd Theissen was one of the first New Testament scholars to present a model for understanding the link between the religious literature of the early Christian movement and the social conditions from which it was born.
		Paul's first person plural claim in 1 Cor 2:6, that "we speak wisdom," refers not to himself but to the communal body of the church, whose inter-factional strife at Corinth he is trying to ease.

	22. 1 Corinthians 9: Using Christian Liberty (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		First, like Paul, almost all (if not all) of the Christianized rabbis, scribes and lawyers would have refused total sustenance (or any sustenance) for teaching God’s Word because of their traditional Jewish prohibitions against it.
		First Corinthians, chapter 9, is a good example of the previous discussion.
		First, if Matthew 10 and Luke 10 constitute an unchanging "commanded" covenant and the "ordained" "law" or "ordinance" for gospel workers, then New Covenant gospel workers are commanded to live day by day, as paupers, in total dependence on the charity of those they serve in obedience to gospel (not law) principles.

	The virtue of purity is the expression and fruit of life according to the Spirit
		During our recent Wednesday meetings we have analysed two passages taken from the First Letter to the Thessalonians (4:3-5) and from the First Letter to the Corinthians (12:18-25), with a view to showing what seems to be essential in St Paul's doctrine on purity, understood in the moral sense, that is, as a virtue.
		That is emphasized particularly by the Apostle in the First Letter to the Corinthians, in which he calls the body "a temple (therefore, a dwelling and shrine) of the Holy Spirit".
		What can be seen from the words of the First Letter to the Corinthians (6:15-17) about Paul's teaching on the Christian virtue of purity as the implementation of life "according to the Spirit" is of particular depth and has the power of the supernatural realism of faith.

		Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians is not as straightforward as it might seem at first glance, and it requires careful exegesis in order to unravel its various elements.
		Paul tackles the elements of the letter that the Corinthians wrote to Paul one by one.
		The letter is thus a letter of rebuke and it is surprising that many use this epistle of rebuke to justify doctrines, which Paul actually condemns.

		In this letter the apostle Paul deals with many problems within the church family, including factions, sexual immorality, lawsuits between members, marriage, food sacrificed to idols, the misuse of spiritual gifts, and the resurrection of the dead.
		Paul opens his letter to the Corinthians by stressing the faithfulness of God who called them, sanctified them, provided His grace and peace, enriched them with all spiritual gifts, and will confirm them to the day when Christ returns to take them to be with Him.
		The first issue Paul dealt with was the divisive spirit within the church.

	Background - Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians
		Paul's First Letter to the Corinthian church is one of the most substantial books of the New Testament.
		For instance, in the letters to Galatia and Colosia the exact nature of the heresy that Paul disputes is still debated today.
		In the First Letter to the Corinthians the problems that Paul writes about are more clear and obvious.

	Doctrine of the Resurrection according to St. Paul
		Furthermore, the resurrection is the reply of the God of life to the historical inevitability of death, to which man was subjected from the moment of breaking the first covenant and which, together with sin, entered his history.
		The man whom Paul addressed in the First Letter to the Corinthians and who (like the Sadducees) is contrary to the possibility of the resurrection, has also his (historical) experience of the body.
		That is, he induces him to turn to the beginning, to that first truth about man and the world which is at the basis of the revelation of the mystery of the living God.

	First Corinthians
		This book is called I Corinthians because it is the first of two letters addressed to the church of God at Corinth (I Corinthians 1:1).
		While he was there, some members of the Corinthian church, Stephanas, Fortunatus, Achaicus, and members of the house of Chloe (1:1; 16:17), visited him and brought unfavorable news concerning moral and spiritual conditions in Corinth.
		The purpose of the letter was to correct the immoral practices and doctrinal errors which had developed in the congregation.

		The Corinthians seem to have been impressed with Paul's preaching about the resurrection, but their conclusions about its implications for them caused them to err in a number of different ways.
		Paul reminds the Corinthian Christians that the purpose of their gatherings is to commemorate Christ's actions "the night he was handed over" (11:23).
		Paul urges the Corinthian Christians to be mindful of their unity: "We, though many, are one body, for we all partake of one loaf" (10:17).

		F sees the letter as primarily about the way in which the gospel redefines and reshapes their lives, a theme that Paul develops from three specific points of reference: Scripture, church traditions, and his apostolic vocation.
		There is no doubt that F is an accomplished and insightful interpreter of the Corinthian correspondence, since he wrote the commentary on 2 Corinthians for the Anchor Bible series (1984).

	Lesson 21 - Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians
		Paul doesn't correct these slogans that were being used in the Corinthian church as inaccurate, but he does correct some underlying basic assumptions that relate to them.
		The second slogan that Paul repeats is, "Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods." While this slogan might have some truth as it relates to dietary laws, since Paul is here dealing with sexual sin, it is safe to assume that the idea was being extended into other aspects of the physical.
		No doubt the Corinthians were arguing something along the lines that since God has made us sexual beings, it is appropriate to gratify the sexual urges in any way that seems fit and natural.

	An Overview Of The Book Of 2 Corinthians
		The second letter was intended mainly for the eyes of the members of the church in Corinth.
		Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians is thought to have been written in the spring of A.D. Given the information we have in the Scriptures, such as that under the “Occasion” above, it appears that Paul wrote Second Corinthians within six months of the date of his writing First Corinthians.
		I have no regrets over what is known as my first letter to you, for it has led you to a godly sorrow and repentance for your salvation that has brought about your taking the immoral case of incest seriously, and your present eagerness to clear yourselves and your congregation of that evil.

		Every kind of honour and happiness was bestowed upon you, and then was fulfilled that which is written, "My beloved ate and drink, and was enlarged and became fat, and kicked." Hence flowed emulation and envy, strife and sedition, persecution and disorder, war and captivity.
		First of all, it sheds its leaves, then it buds, next it puts forth leaves, and then it flowers; after that comes the sour grape, and then follows the ripened fruit.
		And thus preaching through countries and cities, they appointed the first-fruits [of their labours], having first proved them by the Spirit, to be bishops and deacons of those who should afterwards believe.

	The Virtue of Purity
		If in the aforementioned text of the First Letter to the Thessalonians we can see that purity consists in temperance, in this text, however, as also in the First Letter to the Corinthians, the element of respect is also highlighted.
		In chapter six of the First Letter to the Corinthians, Paul specifies the truth about the holiness of the body.
		What can be seen from the words of the First Letter to the Corinthians (6:15-17) about Paul's teaching on the Christian virtue of purity as the implementation of life according to the Spirit is of special depth and has the power of the supernatural realism of faith.

	Corinthians, 1, Pauls First Letter
		In this letter, and perhaps with limited knowledge of the real situation, he deals guardedly with the issue of false teachers (2 Corinthians is far more direct).
		The First and Second Letters to the Corinthians could be part of a series of four or more letters sent by Paul to Corinth as the church's problems were first identified and then resolved - all at heavy emotional cost to Paul and no doubt the Christians of Corinth.

		In addition, 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 is considered a reference for the existence of Purgatory, and 1 Corinthians 8:6 expresses an essential tenet of our Christian faith.

		Paul responds to Corinthians' letter to him and to reports he received from "Chloe's people," announces his plans to return to Corinth via Macedonia and to spend the winter (1 Cor 16:5-7), sends his letter with Stephanus and others who were visiting from Corinth.
		This letter was sent to Corinth with Titus and evidently had the desired effect.
		The Corinthians punished the one who had insulted Paul (2 Cor 2:5-11), repented for the pain they had caused Paul and submitted again to his authority (2 Cor 7:5-12).
