Les explains that early Christians, the moment they professed faith in Christ, were under pressure—from the Jewish element and from the pagan element. They were won out of a precious few, and few were able to come into the liberty of Christianity. Paul, writing to the carnal church at Corinth, had confidence they could grow and become real trophies of God's grace in spite of all the pressure. He wrote out of much affliction and anguish of heart, with many tears, because of what he heard from the congregation at Corinth.
