Day 28 - 1 Corinthians 7:1-13:13

1 Corinthians

During the 1st century AD, Corinth was quite the cosmopolitan city. It was strategically located for commerce; was a center for study of the arts and sciences; was the center of the sports world of its day; and was a city with a plurality of gods and cults. It was during Paul's second missionary trip that he founded the church at Corinth. He lived as a tentmaker, along with his friends Aquila and Priscilla, for about eighteen months.

Paul wrote this letter to address the spiritual and moral condition of the local church. Many of the individuals within the church were slow to mature in their faith as well as in their conduct. Paul identifies the fact that there is division in the church, the causes for that division, and the consequences of that division.
