1st Corinthians 5

March 30, 2024 • Arthur Bailey • 1 Corinthians 5

The Saints in the assembly at Corinth were the products of a very immoral city with a number of religious pagan influences including an infamous temple dedicated to Aphrodite, the goddess of love, whose worshipers practiced religious prostitution.

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. (1 Corinthians 14:33) Confusion is the breakdown of order; it is the state of being bewildered or unclear in one's mind about something. When we are confused, this can lead to a loss of time, identity, direction, and place. We must allow the truth of the Scriptures to restore Order. Order is being on the path that truly leads to righteousness. Those who YeHoVaH, by His Spirit, has called to this path will be equipped to reach the plenteous harvest of souls.

Lessons Learned from Israel’s History

According to Acts 18:11, Paul spent a year and a half in Corinth “teaching them the Word of God”. At that time there were no New Testament writings. Therefore Paul taught from the Law, the Prophets, and the Historical Writings of the Tanakh/Old Testament. In this portion of Paul’s letter, he focused on the lessons the Corinthians should learn from Israel’s history and how to apply those lessons in their lives and in ours.
