1 Corinthians 6: 9-11….An unpopular passage!
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?

1 Corinthians 6: 1-8….Is this practical?
When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints? Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? Do you not knowContinue reading “1 Corinthians 6: 1-8….Is this practical?”
1 Corinthians 5: 9-13….Remember..
I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— not at all meaning the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world.

1 Corinthians 5: 1-8…. Sexual Immorality Defiles the Church
1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, for a man has his father’s wife. 2 And you are arrogant!

1 Corinthians 4: 14-21….Paul a ‘perfect’ model.

For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel. I urge you, then, be imitators of me. That is why IContinue reading “1 Corinthians 4: 14-21….Paul a ‘perfect’ model.”
1 Corinthians 4: 8-13….Would Paul dare to be Facetious?
Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich! Without us you have become kings! And would that you did reign, so that we might share the rule with you! For I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, like men sentenced to death, because we have become aContinue reading “1 Corinthians 4: 8-13….Would Paul dare to be Facetious?”
1 Corinthians 4: 1-7….Preparation to Preach…
1 This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful. 3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court. In fact,Continue reading “1 Corinthians 4: 1-7….Preparation to Preach…”
1 Corinthians 3:10-23….How many Judgements lie ahead?
According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it.

1 Corinthians 3:1-9….Babies of the Faith.
But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousyContinue reading “1 Corinthians 3:1-9….Babies of the Faith.”
