This is a very important chapter of scripture.
It is very beneficial even without context but yet I do believe what Paul is saying is amplified and clarified by seeing it is in the middle of two chapters on Spiritual gifts written to a church that in many ways was immature and I believe getting ahead of themselves in areas when they lacked Christian character. They wanted the gifts of the Spirit but lacked the fruit of the Spirit.
★ Support this podcast ★Biblical Teaching from Pastor Jay Cavaiani with an emphasis on revering the Word of God.
This podcast teaches through every chapter of the Bible, one chapter a day.
To learn more go to www.reveringtheword.com. There is three year Bible reading challenge and schedule available on the website. We encourage all to join the journey by reading through the Bible over the course of three years.
We teach studying the Bible more thoroughly by slowing down and taking in the Bible in a deeper manner versus reading many chapters at once and glossing over what one is reading.
