MARITAL PRIVILEGES
I Corinthians 7:1-7
..hand upon our lives individually and collectively we never cease to
be amazed and Lord we pray again, not vainly, not tritely, but from the

there was a party spirit. There were superheroes in the church and
around those superheroes people had gathered and saying "I stand for
Peter," another said "I stand for Paul", and so there was confusion in
th,at body of Christ,
And then we know he dealt with sexual imorality as we looked at it at

begins a new section and we need to know something very important to

asked in a letter that was delivered to him by those three citizens of
Corinth. And these were questions that he was answering. So we under-
stand that from the phrase, look at in Verse 1,
