We participate in the same body when we participate in the Lord's Supper. We should maintain our commitment to Christ and his body.

Don't be idolaters like the Old Testament people of God who suffered God's judgment because of their sin. We are to worship God alone.

Paul became all things to all people so that he might win some for the sake of Christ. He desires to see people come to Christ. Do we share the same conviction?

Paul and Barnabas sacrificed their rights for the sake of the Corinthians. They wanted the Corinthians to know Christ and to grow in him. May we have the same heart as we live for the glory of Christ.

Paul urged the Corinthians to consider their brothers and sisters' consciences when deciding whether to eat or not eat food sacrificed to idols. We are to do the same. Our governing principle should always be to build our brothers and sisters up in the faith.

We are to live for Jesus where we are. Coming to Christ doesn't necessarily mean that our life circumstances will change. Rather, it means we are to testify to God's glory and grace wherever we are.

Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. We are temples to the Lord; our behavior should reflect that reality. Therefore, we are to flee sexual immorality and devote ourselves fully to the Lord.

The Corinthians weren't acting like Christians. They were acting like those in the world. In pride, they took offense at the actions of others and sued one another in the secular courts. Paul told them to be more Christlike. The same message is for us.

The Corinthians needed to clean their church up. It was full of immorality, and they boasted in their strength. They needed to humble themselves and expel the immoral ones.

Paul told the Corinthians that they should be ashamed of themselves for allowing sexual deviants to remain in the congregation. What we allow often says more about our pursuit of Christ than what we actually do.
