We wrap up the book of 1 Corinthians by exploring the context in which it is written and its importance in understanding early Christianity. We linger for a moment on 1 Corinthians 13 – the love chapter and then wrap up with a reflection on the elements of the gospel which Paul emphasizes in this book, with particular attention to 1 Corinthians 15:1-10. Other Scriptures referenced include 1 Corinthians 1:20; 1 Corinthians 12; 1 Corinthians 14; 1 Corinthians 2:2; Isaiah 53; Ephesians 6:13; and Jude 1:24-25.
