who wrote the book of 1 corinthians in the bible
First Epistle to the Corinthians The First Epistle to the Corinthians (Ancient Greek: Α΄ ᾽Επιστολὴ πρὸς Κορινθίους), usually referred to simply as First Corinthians and often written 1 Corinthians, is one of the Pauline epistles of the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The epistle says that Paul the Apostle and "Sosthenes our brother" wrote it to "the church of God which is at Corinth" 1Cor.1:1–2 although the scholarly consensus holds that Sosthenes was the amanuensis who wrote down the text of the letter at Paul's direction.[1]
Epistle to the Romans The scholarly consensus is that Paul wrote the Epistle to the Romans.[4]
1 Corinthians 13 This chapter of 1 Corinthians is one of many definitional sources for the word agape when used to refer to divine love.[5] Introducing his homage to love in 1 Corinthians 12:31, Paul describes agape as "a more excellent way".
First Epistle to the Corinthians There is consensus among historians and Christian theologians that Paul is the author of the First Epistle to the Corinthians (c. AD 53â€“54).[3] The letter is quoted or mentioned by the earliest of sources, and is included in every ancient canon,[4] including that of Marcion. The personal and even embarrassing texts about immorality in the church increase consensus.[5]
