PAUL'S RESPONSA IN FIRST CORINTHIANS (A Foundation of Theology)

The book of First Corinthians is the seventh book of the New Testament. The epistle to the First Corinthians was written by the Apostle Paul at the close of his three years residence in Ephesus. There was an occasion of this Epistle of a letter of inquiry concerning such things as marriage and the use of foods offered to idols. Paul was also greatly troubled by reports from Corinth of deepening divisions, increasing contentions, and other problems, and by a case of incest that had not been judged by the church. This Epistle can be divided into seven parts: 1) The divisions in the Corinthian Church. 2) The immorality rebuked; discipline commanded, 3) The sanctity of the body; Christian Marriage. 4) The things offered to Idols; Limitations of Christian Liberty. 5) The Christian order and the Lord’s Supper. 6) The Spiritual Gifts and their use in love. 7) The resurrection of the dead, and the instructions and personal greetings. The author of this book is Paul.
