Good morning! Paul’s letter to the Corinthians concludes today with chapters 15-16, focusing primarily on the nature and importance of the resurrection. He contends that without belief in the resurrection, Christian faith is pointless. With it, however, the Corinthians can persevere in the difficult acts of discipleship, because they will experience its ultimate reward.

1 Corinthians 12-14
Good morning! Today as we start the final month of Daily Bible, we continue in Paul’s first (existing) letter to the early church at Corinth. 1 Corinthians 12-14 contains some of the most memorable verses of the New Testament, though they are not often understood within the context of Paul’s appeal to Christian community. The apostle’s use of metaphor consistently brings relatable forms to lofty ideals, so that both wise and naïve believers can understand his meaning.
