Actual first letter
- Written prior to the epistle 1 Corinthians
- Written about sexual immorality
- The letter was not taken seriously
Paul received information about the church
- From Chloe’s household he heard:
- Reports of division (1:11, 11:18)
- Sexual immorality (5:1)
- From Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus visit
- From a letter written to Paul by the. Church (7:1, 7:25, 8:1, 12:1, 16:1, 12)
Based on all of this information Paul wrote what we know a 1 Corinthians
- From Ephesus
- 3-4 years after leaving
- Topics include:
- Division in the Church
- Follow Paul, Peter, and Apollos
- Sexual Immorality
- Eating food sacrificed to idols
- Worship to bring the gospel (not to show off)
- Resurrection is real
All to encourage the church to do all through the lease of love.
