The Corinthian church found themselves in a bit of a conundrum. They were giving an ear to false teachers and closing themselves off to the Apostle Paul. They began to drift more and more from the truth of Christ. Through love, logic, and reason Paul attempts to bring them back to reality. He painstakingly labors to show them the great contrast of a minister of the true gospel and a minister who peddles the word of God for selfish gain.
