1Corinthians

The First Epistle To The Corinthians was written by the Apostle Paul at the close of his three years' residence in Ephesus. Paul's relation to the church at Corinth is set forth in Acts 18:1-18. The occasion of this Epistle was a letter of inquiry concerning such things as marriage and the use of foods offered to idols, but the apostle was also greatly troubled by reports from Corinth of deepening divisions, increasing contentions, and other problems, and a case of incest which had not been judged by the church. The main trust of the Epistle is correction of error brought about more by the carnality of the believers at Corinth than by heresy. While Paul defends the apostleship because it involves the authority of the doctrine revealed through him, the letter is not a treatise but an expression of his grief, solicitude, and holy indignation on account of the unspiritual and immoral condition of the Corinthian church. The subjects treated are various but may all be related to the general theme, Christian conduct. Even the tremendous revelation of the truth concerning the resurrection is made to bear upon that theme. And in spite of the dark overcast created by the difficulties in the church, it is in this Epistle that Paul presents his exquisite hymn of Christian love (ch. 13), as well as the most comprehensive treatment of the resurrection of the body to be found in the Word of God (ch. 15).
