New Testament · Pastoral Letter
1 Corinthians
16 chapters · 437 verses · Paul · ~55 AD
A church so dysfunctional it makes yours look healthy. Division, lawsuits, sexual scandal, worship chaos — and Paul writes them the most famous chapter on love ever composed.
Overview
Corinth was the Las Vegas of the ancient world, and its church reflected the culture. Paul addresses division, incest, lawsuits, marriage questions, food offered to idols, worship disorder, and resurrection doubts. Chapter 13 (the love chapter) sits in the middle of this mess — because love is the solution to all of it.
