In this Bible study, Fr. Matthias Shehad concludes the Book of 1 Corinthians by exploring its final chapter in detail. He explains St. Paul’s instructions on the collection for the saints, emphasizing the early church’s responsibility to support persecuted believers in Jerusalem. Fr. Matthias also highlights St. Paul’s plans to visit the Corinthian church personally and the importance of building strong relationships alongside teaching.
The discussion addresses issues of church unity, the role of fellow workers like Timothy and Apollos, and the problems caused by divisions within the community. Fr. Matthias stresses the need for believers to watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, and be strong while doing all things in love. He illustrates the Christian principle of submission through examples and underscores how love is central to overcoming conflicts.
The session concludes with greetings from the churches and reflections on St. Paul’s concluding prayer for grace and unity in Christ.
