Are 1 and 2 Corinthians still relevant for Christians today?
Yes. The Corinthian letters address immorality, dissension, divisions, legal disputes, and questions about food, showing a church beset with many problems. They were used for reproof, and they remain appropriate for believers even today. Their correction of church troubles continues to speak to Christians now.
Les explains that the Corinthian letters fit the reproof portion of the New Testament format. The church at Corinth needed reproof for a wide range of problems: immorality, dissension, divisions, legal matters between members, and disputes about what they could or couldn't eat. Though these letters were written to address those first-century troubles, Les points out that they are still appropriate for us even today.
