First Corinthians

Front Cover
Westminster John Knox Press, Mar 1, 2000 - Religion - 114 pages

In First Corinthians, Paul writes to a troubled church at Corinth, urging its members to live a life distinct from the ways of others, governed by the law of love, and affirming of the tenets of the faith. His direct responses to their shortcomings provide us a window into daily church life in the first century. But this letter also paints a vivid picture of what any church can become by the grace of God.

Page 7 - divide and tear asunder the members of Christ, and raise up strife against our own body, and reach such a pitch of madness as to forget that we are members one of another? . . . Your schism has turned aside many, has cast many into discouragement, many to doubt, all of us to grief; and your sedition continues.
