Having taken aim at several controversies in the Corinthians church, Paul now takes up the most concerning of them all, namely, some were denying the resurrection. Paul, with piercing logic, proves how the resurrection is not an optional extra but the heart of the gospel message, without which, the entire Christian faith falls apart like a wagon wheel with no lynch pin.…
Paul concludes his section on Spiritual gifts in the church by emphasizing that the gifts of the Spirit should be used to build up the church in an orderly manner. He instructs the Corinthians to avoid chaos by ensuring that everyone speaks in turn and that their contributions are constructive. He reminds them that this orderly worship reflects God’s nature of peace and promotes unity within the church body.…
Paul emphasizes the importance of prophecy as a spiritual gift that should be desired and valued.

He highlights that while prophecy is primarily a gift for believers, it can also bring non-believers toward salvation.…

Though there are many different kinds of gifts, they are from the same Spirit and are given for the common good of the body, which is the church.…
As communion became a source of division and inequity at the Corinthian church, Paul reminds the believers of the meaning behind the meal, how Christ has given himself, and how we are to examine our sin as we come to the cross.
