Series 1 Corinthians
Introduction
I: THE ERRONEOUS EXTREMES
Their slogan: "It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman."
• Husbands and wives: stop being physically intimate (1-7).
• Single people, widows, widowers: don’t get married (8-9).
• Married people who couldn’t live together without intimacy: get a divorce (10-11).
• Those with an unbelieving spouse: get a divorce (12-16).
II: THE BIBLICAL RESPONSE
• Husbands and wives: be physically intimate! (1-7)
• Single people, widows, widowers: Get married if you don’t have the gift of celibacy! (8-9)
• Married people who couldn’t live together without intimacy: Do not get a divorce! (10-11).
• Those with an unbelieving spouse: Do not leave them! (12-16).
III: THE RELEVANCE
• Warns of our tendency to formulate unbiblical solutions to real problems.
• Fulfillment can be found in marriage.
• Calls us to selflessness in the marital relationship.
• Fulfillment can be found in singleness.
• Gives great encouragement to those with unbelieving spouses.
