I Corinthians, Part 7

Jesse Jenkins

July 12, 2016

-- / --

I Corinthians 4:4-17
I Corinthians 4:5 – See Matthew 7:22-23.
I Corinthians 4:6 – See II John 1:9 regarding going beyond the written Scripture. The context here, however, is dealing specifically with judging other men. We are not to go beyond what is written when judging other men (Matthew 23:8).
I Corinthians 4:8 – See I John 3:8. Paul is wishing that they all had fellowship in God together.
I Corinthians 4:9 – Secular history tells us that Paul was killed for his faith.
I Corinthians 4:14 – Notice this is a not-but passage. Paul’s primary goal was not to shame them although his words should have. His primary purpose was to admonish them.

Matthew 7:24-27
Jesus never said, “Salvation is by works alone.”
- In the 1500s, the Catholic church needed money, so they raised it in part by selling indulgences. Johann Tetzel was instrumental in this practice.

    - Sin
      - Eternal penalties
        
        Confess to a priest
      - Temporal penalties
        
        Penance (good work)
        
        Crusade (or pay for a peasant to go on a crusade)
        
        Indulgence
      - Romans 4:1-8
      - Ephesians 2:4-10
      - Titus 3:1-8

        95 Theses
        
        Matthew 7:24, 21 – Good works do not earn our salvation, they are simply conditions God requires to receive His grace.
