Introduction to 1st Corinthians

Introduction to 1st Corinthians

FREE BIBLE STUDY

In 1Co 5:9, we read, "I wrote unto you in an Epistle not to company with fornicators;" it is implied that Paul had written a previous letter to the Corinthians (which has been lost). Probably in it he had also called upon them to make a contribution for the poor saints at Jerusalem, at which they seem to have asked for instructions on how to go about it, to which he now replies ([17]1Co 16:2). It also probably announced his intention of visiting them on the way to Macedonia, and again on his return from Macedonia ([18]2Co 1:15, 16), but he changed his mind after hearing the unfavorable report from Chloe's household.
