In our last episode, Paul began to speak of the nature of the body of Christ and the diversity of spiritual gifts within it. Just as a physical body is made of many parts that are united together, Paul continues in today’s passage to teach that the church should be united in love and put away childish divisions, otherwise their flashy spiritual gifts are rubbish. He goes on to encourage the church to desire the gifts that build up the body over and above the gift of speaking in tongues. Before concluding with instructions for the church, Paul argues with those who say there is no resurrection, contending that without resurrection our faith in Christ is foolishness.
