Overview

The ancient city of Corinth represented both tremendous spiritual need and tremendous potential as a strategic location for evangelization. Recognizing the unique opportunity of this city, the apostle Paul spent more than two years ministering there, and remained in contact with the Corinthian church long after his departure. In addition to a strong emphasis on edification of the church through spiritual gifts, Paul’s letters to the church at Corinth deal directly with a number of other issues also facing us today. In this Logion Commentary, Stanley M. Horton takes an in-depth look at the history, customs, word meanings, and contemporary application of Paul’s letters to the church at Corinth.

“Though human effort and modern business methods can bring together a great crowd, the Lord wants every local church to be Spirit-filled, Spirit-empowered, Spirit-gifted, and Spirit-led.” (Page 21)

“ ‘Their attention was to be on the Lord, not on the time.’” (Page 21)

“‘two or three’ prophets may speak in succession. Then before others prophesy, other believers in the assembly should weigh carefully, ‘and publicly,’⁸⁴ with deliberate consideration and evaluation, what the Spirit is saying. This would include how it lines up with the written Word of God,⁸⁵ how it meets the need, what is God’s purpose, and what the believers should do about it to build up the body.” (Page 142)

“morals of its pagan society were so corrupt that ‘to Corinthianize’ came to mean to live a most dissolute life.” (Page 10)

“Paul does apply this to the Church, mentioning the body of Christ to indicate that the gifts are given within the body and have the primary purpose of building up the body. He draws attention to ‘unity first, then diversity of individual members.’” (Page 121)
