Saint Paul composes his First and Second Letters to the Corinthians from another place, likely Ephesus. His First Letter to the Corinthians reads like a letter from a concerned parent who wishes to share wisdom and a warning with his or her children. For Paul has received some disturbing news about the people he knows well and loves. Therefore, this first letter reflects Paul's own suffering as well as his desire to have the Corinthians change their ways. As Paul continues his Second Letter to the Corinthians, we are provided a glimpse of the passion of Paul, a man with many moods and emotions.
As you study these letters written by St. Paul, the church of Corinth exemplifies that fact that arguments have always existed among the people of God. Though these arguments are par for the Christian journey, we are reminded in these letters that the Holy Spirit is with us and will work through us and that our deepest call is to love God and one another.
