Welcome

What should a Christian do when wronged by another believer? In today’s episode, we explore Paul’s surprisingly radical teaching in 1 Corinthians 6 about how Christians are to approach conflict, especially when it involves legal disputes.

We’re reminded that our calling isn’t just to win in court, but to walk in the way of Christ — even if that means choosing to be wronged for the sake of unity, witness, and love.

In This Episode

• Should Christians take other believers to court?
• Why Paul sees this as a defeat, not a victory
• The role of arbitration within the church
• A bold question: “Why not rather be wronged?”
• Identity over victory — living as the washed, sanctified, and justified

Key Takeaway

This is a call to live out our identity as the people of God. Sometimes the most Christlike thing we can do is to lay down our rights and pick up the cross.

Why is our society so fractured and angry? David Brooks’ recent article draws from the work of moral philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre to explain how we got here, but what is the solution? With the growth of A.I., some Christians think technology may be how God redeems humanity and gives us eternal life. But is this still Christianity or a strange new Silicon Valley heresy? Kaitlyn talks to Daniel Lee Hill about his latest book, “Bearing Witness: What the Church Can Learn from Early Abolitionists.” Also this week—dolphins learn to puff the magic fish.

Welcome

In this episode of The Bible Project Daily Podcast, we continue our series through 1 Corinthians by exploring one of the great dangers that threatens every Christian community: division caused by pride.

Paul speaks as a spiritual father to the Corinthian church, urging them to move away from arrogance and rivalry and return to the humble way of Christ. He exposes the absurdity of boasting in spiritual gifts and leaders—and calls believers to imitate his example of faithful, self-sacrificing service.

Episode Highlights

• The deeper cause of division in the church: spiritual pride
• Paul’s sharp but loving rebuke: “You are already rich... without us!”
• The apostolic example of suffering and humility
• A heartfelt appeal to be imitators of Paul, as he imitates Christ
• A challenge to reflect on whether we are living in grace or self-promotion

️ Key Takeaway

True Christian unity can never be built on personalities or pride—it must be grounded in humility, grace, and the example of Christ.

 Episode Summary:

In this thought-provoking episode, we explore Paul’s diagnosis of division within the Corinthian church—and uncover its root cause: pride.

The Corinthians were puffed up, aligning themselves with particular leaders, boasting in personalities rather than humbling themselves before Christ. Paul peels back the layers of this problem, showing that beneath all the quarreling and factionalism lies a dangerous self-satisfaction.

But Paul doesn’t stop at diagnosis. He also offers the cure—a call to humility, to imitate Christ through the example of the apostles. Through vivid imagery, biting irony, and fatherly love, Paul reminds us that everything we have is a gift of grace. And when we forget that, pride flourishes and unity suffers.

Key Themes Explored:

• The real cause of division in churches is not just a misunderstanding of doctrine or a poor view of leadership—it’s spiritual pride.
• Three piercing questions (v.7) expose the absurdity of boasting in what we have received by grace.
• Sarcasm and irony are used by Paul to wake the Corinthians from self-deception.
• True Christian leadership looks like humble endurance and suffering, not celebrity status or worldly acclaim.
• The path to unity is not strategy or structure, but Christlike humility.
• Discipleship is learned through imitation—not just instruction.

Key Quotes from the Episode:

Reflection Questions:

• Am I living humbly—or puffed up with pride?
• Do I treat others in my church as recipients of grace, or as rivals for influence?
• Am I more concerned with how people view my spiritual life, or with how faithfully I follow Christ?
• Who are the godly examples in my life that I can imitate, as they imitate Christ?

️ Application:

Paul urges the Corinthians—and us—to stop boasting, stop comparing, and stop dividing. Instead, he calls us to embody the humility of Christ and the selflessness of faithful ministry.

Take time this week to reflect on the grace you've received. Let it dismantle pride. Let it build bridges. Let it unify.
