After correcting the problems of rivalry and competition concerning the spiritual gifts the Christians in Corinth have received, the apostle Paul now directs the congregation concerning how their assembly should function.

It is especially important to carefully study this passage and remember the context because there are many verses in this section that have been taken out of context and misapplied.
