The Apostle Paul exposes the underlining problem of sin in the church in Corinth. He is saying to them to remember the finished work of Christ on the cross that delivered them from the bondage of sin. In grateful acknowledgement of their great deliverance, they are to live holy lives. Let their Christian witness be sincere and according to God’s Word. He renounced any hypocrisy or malice. He urged the Corinthian Christians to be true to their confession.
