The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians
Known as "1st Corinthians," "1 Corinthians," or "First Corinthians," The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians, written by Saint Paul around 54 AD, was in response to hearing that the early Christian church at Corinth was suffering from rivalries, jealousies, immoral behavior among its leaders, and condemnation from Jerusalem. The letter was his attempt to correct wayward thinking, pagan practices, and inspire uniformity of belief. It includes a sharp focus on Paul’s views of sexual immorality, homosexuality, adultery, and other acts, which he condemns and offers solutions to fix.
Within its contents you’ll find many famous verses, including “When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things,” (13:11) and “through a glass, darkly” (13:12). You’ll also find observations on speaking in tongues, head coverings, as well as rules for women in the church.
