1 Corinthians 6

Introduction

Introduction – 1

• In the first four chapters, Paul shows the Corinthians that their divisive ways not only were destructive to the church but it was destructive to themselves
• In chapter five, he then showed them that unconcerned complacency allowed sin to come into the church and destroy their sense of right and wrong as well as their salvation.

Introduction – 2

• Chapter six, Paul now addresses the destruction to the church and each other caused by the civil lawsuits.
• Their divisive ways caused animosity among themselves by their seeking civil courts to settle their matters.

Introduction – 3

• This was all because of the world that they all came from, and the continuing influence it had upon them.
• They had not made a concerted effort to fully separate themselves from the world, and love each other as a family of God.
• Paul reinforces this need for love in chapter 13.
