1 Corinthians

Who

Paul, with Sosthenes named alongside him in the opening line.

When

About AD 55, from Ephesus.

What it is

Answers to a church that had written to him with questions, and to reports of how badly it was getting on with itself.

What to watch for

It is a reply, so you are hearing one side of a conversation. Chapter 13, read at weddings, sits in the middle of an argument about people showing off in church.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.1 Corinthians 13:4
