1st Corinthians
In this paper I will discuss one of paul’s letters. The letter that I preform exegsis on will be the 1st letter to the Corinthians. I chose this letter because it seemed more interesting then Pual’s other letters. I also feel that this letter is one of the more important letters that Paul wrote. On this note I will begin exegsis. Pauls letter was written to deal with problems of christian life and faith. At this time period Corinth was a great cosmopolitan Greek city. Paul wrote because the church there was haveing divisions and immorality issues. Paul wrote this letter to try to bring the church back to Christ. I feel that this letter is a very important one. This letter talks of Gods everlasting love. With this it discusses How it is always poreing out on to his people. Also it discusses how God is always trying to give us gifts and grace. The love part of this shows up clearly in Chapter 13. Paul talks of his love for all others. Also I think that this express how God shares his love with all of us. Paul says that with out love his words would mean nothing. Also in this chapter Paul tells us that the gifts God gives to us are not going to last for eve . . .
Paul also speaks of the church being one body with many parts. This means that we could defantly not live with out these gifts. It is fun to read and it still aplies to our everyday life. I feel that we should take heed to this letter. The next thing that Pual talks about is the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Paul tells them to respect their sexuality because their bodies are all part of Christ’s body. Footnotes 1 Discourse on love 2Discourse on Unity and vanity, and also discourse on One body, Many parts 3Discourse on The True Wisdom 4The case of Incest 5Advise to the Married, Virgins, and Widows . In the discussion of the one body Paul talks of the fact that everyone is as important as the next. I am very glad that Paul wrote this letter. Though if you cannot achive this you should change to be happer. Paul tells them that there wifes should be the only women and that the man should love and serve his wife always. Another important chapter is Chapter 2. Paul also said this to the women only visa-versa. In Chapter 5 there is a case given in favor of why Paul wrote the letter in the first place. Also this shows us how love is the only thing that will last for all eternity.
