Spiritual arrogance had caused some Corinthians to have a warped understanding of freedom. They actually believed that their freedom had lifted them above the norms of Christian morality. Paul responded to this belief and his words of correction are applicable to us today. Scriptures referenced include Galatians 5:13; 1 Corinthians 6:12; 1 Corinthians 10:23-24, 32-33; 1 Corinthians 5:2-6; 1 Corinthians 6:1-8, 12-20; and Proverbs 16:18.
