references to the death of Christ? (Check a
concordance for the twelve direct references
to this subject under these words: blood,
cross, crucified, died, sacrificed.)
8. How would you describe the style of
this epistle? Writers have observed that it is
the most varied of all Paul’s epistles. It
ranges from the informal, conversational
style, to a “lofty and sustained solemnity.”15
Did you observe in your reading such
literary devices as logic, poetry, narration,
exposition, and the frequent use of
questions?
C. SURVEY CHART
Study the survey chart, Chart 70. Observe
the following:
1. There are three groups of problems.

2. The three cited guides in the solution of
problems are verses of chapter 15. How does
each verse help in solving spiritual problems
of Christians?
3. Why do you think Paul discussed
questions about the resurrection body last in
the letter?
4. Note the title on the chart. Someone
has said that “no epistle tells us so much
about the life of a primitive local church.” If
a title was made to include the solutions to
the church’s problems, a key phrase might
be “Victory through Christ” (15:57).

3. Evil fellowship (5:9-13).
4. Lawsuits in the public courts (6:1-11).

CHART 70: 1 CORINTHIANS: PROBLEMS OF A
LOCAL CHURCH
The severity of Paul’s reproof (e.g., “I say
this to your shame,” 6:5) is an indication of
the awfulness of the spiritual cancers that
plagued the church he founded.
B. MARRIAGE (7:1-40)
G. Campbell Morgan correctly observes
that no attempt is made in 1 Corinthians to
state the Christian doctrine of marriage in
its fullness and completeness.16 Besides,
false conclusions are easily made from
