Prepare for Week 1: 1 Corinthians 1:1–17
Main Passage:
This letter is from Paul, chosen by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and from our brother Sosthenes. I am writing to God’s church in Corinth, to you who have been called by God to be his own holy people. He made you holy by means of Christ Jesus, just as he did for all people everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours. May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
1 Corinthians 1:1–17

"Aren’t you living like people of the world?" The apostle Paul wrote these words of rebuke to the church in Corinth—a congregation whose behavior associated them with the culture rather than setting them apart as the body of Christ. They were a group marked by division instead of unity, immorality instead of purity, selfishness instead of love. Although 1 Corinthians was not written to us, its message is for us and invites us to consider: How are we, as a church body, living like people of the world, and how should we repent to be set apart?
