About the Book of 1 Corinthians
1 Corinthians is Paul's letter to a divided church in a bustling Greek port city. He writes to confront quarrels, immorality and confusion about spiritual gifts, and to build up the body of Christ in love.
Its 16 chapters and 437 verses contain the Bible's greatest hymn to love — "charity never faileth" (1 Corinthians 13:8) — and the great resurrection chapter, 1 Corinthians 15, which grounds Christian hope in the risen Christ. Between them Paul addresses lawsuits between believers, the meaning of the Lord's Supper, speaking in tongues and the gifts of the Spirit, and the proper order of worship. His closing line — "be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord" (1 Corinthians 15:58) — still urges perseverance.
