What is the clue for why Paul wrote the letter of 1 Corinthians?
1 Corinthians 7:1 provides the clue. The teaching points to that verse as the key to Paul's writing of the letter. Although all Scripture is inspired by the Holy Spirit, the human element and Paul's personality also enter into the writing. So 1 Corinthians 7:1 serves as the clue.
Les explains that the clue for Paul’s writing of 1 Corinthians is found in chapter 7 verse 1, which he encourages the listener to look at. He notes that while the letter is entirely inspired by the Holy Spirit and everything is directed by God’s sovereign grace, the human element always enters in as well. This is the beauty of Scripture: every word is inspired, yet every author maintains his own personality. Thus 1 Corinthians 7:1 is presented as the key clue to why Paul wrote the letter.
Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
