0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:07.0 | Today Paul continues his letter to the church he started at Corinth. |
0:15.6 | You may notice that every time he rebukes them for something or addresses a problem |
0:19.1 | they have, he presents the gospel in response to it. |
0:22.0 | One of the themes that shows up frequently |

1:08.0 | It redirects us away from the works of the flesh and toward the fruit of the spirit. |
1:12.0 | On the other hand, anything that |
1:14.4 | lets us continue in sin unchecked and carefree isn't grace, it's passive wrath. |
1:19.5 | The Church at Corinth doesn't get this at all. |
1:23.0 | One problem with sexual sin is that it dishonors people by disassociating their body from their soul, |
1:28.7 | using them for our own pleasure. |
