1 Corinthians

New Testament · Epistle · 16 chapters

Quick answer

Paul addresses a divided, immature church on unity, sex, worship, spiritual gifts, and the resurrection.

1 Corinthians applies the cross to messy church problems — factions, lawsuits, the Lord's Supper, gifts — climaxing in the love chapter (13) and the great resurrection chapter (15).
