As Paul nears the end of his letter, he echoes one of the overarching themes that’s been weaved throughout, which is how this Corinthian church should be living out the Christian faith in the real world.

Paul's response to the Corinthians abuse of the spiritual gifts is not to demand disuse, but to prescribe proper use. All things in the corporate gathering of God's people are to be done for the sake of building others up in love, and love requires both intelligibility and order.
