New Testament The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the CORINTHIANS, Book 7, (Hardcover)

The First Epistle to the Corinthians presents one of the most wide-ranging and corrective letters of the New Testament in the enduring language of the King James Version.

Traditionally attributed to the Apostle Paul, this epistle addresses a Christian community marked by internal division, doctrinal confusion, and moral disorder. Writing with directness and authority, Paul calls the Corinthians to unity of belief and discipline of conduct, urging them to recognise the seriousness of factionalism within the church.

The letter engages a broad range of concerns: disputes over leadership, questions of worship and conscience, the exercise of spiritual gifts, and the responsibilities of communal life. It includes extended reflection on charity, most memorably in the celebrated passage describing love as the highest virtue. The epistle concludes with a sustained affirmation of the resurrection, declaring that Christ "died for our sins... and rose again the third day according to the scriptures," and situating Christian hope within that proclamation.

Presented here as a standalone volume in the measured and resonant prose of the 1611 King James translation, this edition preserves a text that has profoundly shaped Christian theology, ethics, and ecclesial practice.
