1 Corinthians

Started reading 1 Corinthians this morning. Here are some observations:
Interesting attitude to start a talk with (2:4) "my message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power"

3:16 "don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred and you are that temple"
This seems to speak about murder.

3:21 reminder me of McClaren's Generous Orthodoxy: "all things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world it life or death or the present or the future - all are yours, and
you are of Christ, and Christ us if God"

Reading 4:17 in light of the previous verses it becomes: "I urge you to imitate me. For this reason I am sending to you Timothy, my son whom I love, who I'd la faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life [as scum of the earth] in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church."
