First Corinthians is a great, big congregational rebuke. Paul is sending word to the believers in Corinth that they have a number of adjustments to make. Corinth Bible Church had everything going for them, yet failed to fulfill the ministry that the Lord had for them. Divisions, sinful tolerance, legalism, license, and pride are all addressed.
“To the Corinthians” is named for the recipients of the epistle.
The Apostle Paul is the primary author, with the scribal assistance and courier service of Sosthenes the Corinthian.
