In the Last two chapters the Apostle Paul has instructed us on how were to function within the Body Ch 12, and within society Ch13, now in Ch 14 he is going to tell us how to function in disagreements particularly within the Church family. Whether we know it or not God has put a heavy emphasis on believers getting along with one another > Jn 13:34-35 says this is how the world knows that we belong to Jesus by the love that we have toward each other.

Chapter twelve spoke about the believer’s relationship to other believers, and non-believers, Chapter thirteen hones in on our relationship to government. In this world God has established three main institutions > 1. The Home- Gen 2, 2. The Church- Acts 2, 3. Government – Rom 13, and throughout history where nations and countries have failed, one or more of these three institutions had fallen, and rendered obsolete in society.

Paul started this chapter initially by telling us the type of attitude and character that is needed if we are to fully commit ourselves to serving God whole heartedly. He says we first must surrender our will, goals and desires unto Him, and we do that by sacrificing my mind and my body to the fulfilling of The Lord’s plans for my life instead of my own plans.
