This study was presented in the August 2013 Bible conference in Southern California.Though Corinth was a “problem church” for Paul, how thankful we ought to be for them, for without their problems and questions, we would not have the answers and guidance provided in this wonderful letter. As with all the epistles, the challenge is to lay hold of the character of Christ. We are to be “transformed by the renewing of [our] minds” (Rom 12:2), and to “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus” (Phi 2:5).
Key verses for this study:
- “For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” 1Co 2:2 and
- “Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you are truly unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.” 1Co 5:7

Secure In Christ #5
Interpreting the Word of God demands several principles: Unity and consistency of scripture (2Ti 3:16, Jam 2:10-11). What we have in written Word is fulfilled in Christ; He was consistent (Mat 5:17). Context is paramount. Simplicity in interpretation is the most accurate. Keeping interpretation Christ-centered (Joh 1:1-34, Luk 24:27, Luk 24:45).
Scripture References: Luke 24:45, Luke 24:27, John 1:1-34, Matthew 5:17, James 2:10-11
