The early church at Corinth was faced with the dilemma of how to faithfully love and serve Christ in a city where almost all aspects of the culture, down to the food you would buy in the market, were overtly pagan. Paul's exhorts the stronger believers at Corinth to be less concerned about how far they can go with their freedom in Christ, and more concerned about limiting that freedom to build up their weaker brothers and sisters in love.

Paul addresses singleness, but his overarching theme is undivided devotion to God. Married or single, the question he asks the church is are you able to have an undivided devotion to God? And if not, what might be keeping you from pursuing full devotion to God’s purposes for your life?

The misnomer is that our sexuality is about us. It's not; our sexuality about Him. It's about God's glory and telling Jesus' story by the way we live. Our bodies are His, and we exist for Him.

The church at Corinth was plagued with division, so much so that certain members were taking each other to court over trivial matters. Paul's exhortation to them is not simply to stop this foolish behavior, but that their behavior is not who they are or what they now have in Christ Jesus.
