First Epistle To The Corinthians: Trivia Quiz!

Paul states that "because of the cases of sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband" (Coogan 2007). However, Paul thinks that it's even better to remain single and celibate so that God can be solely focused on rather than being distracted by each other.

Paul had an amanuensis named Tertius (Powell 217).

During this time, people commonly wrote on papyrus. Papyrus was a material made from the pith of the papyrus plant, which grew abundantly in ancient Egypt. It was used as a writing surface because it was lightweight, flexible, and durable. The Egyptians developed a system of writing called hieroglyphics, and papyrus was the preferred medium for recording important documents, religious texts, and literature. It was widely used during this time period, making the statement "True" accurate.

The pun can be found in the introductory salutations of Christian letters, in which "grace" was used instead of "greetings." Because in Greek they look and sound alike (chaire and charis) historians believe this to be a play on words (Powell 220).

In his first letter to the Corinthians, Paul states that "[he thanks] God that [he speaks] in tongues more than all of you."

Paul openly regrets having a church discipline someone who wronged him. This suggests that Paul believes he made a mistake in seeking disciplinary action against someone who had wronged him, indicating that he may have had a change of heart or reconsidered his actions in this particular situation.

"Perhaps the best word to describe Paul is multifaceted. There appear to have been many sides to this man, and those who think that they have him figured out may be surprised to discover there is more to Paul then they have taken into account" (Powell 251).

Pseudepigraphy is a complex concept involving authors writing under a name other than their own. This does not necessarily mean that the context is also false.

""All things are lawful for me," but not all things are beneficial. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be dominated by anything" (Coogan 2007).

An amanuensis is a person who is delegated to write letters on behalf of someone else. They serve as a scribe or secretary, taking dictation or composing letters on behalf of their employer or superior. This role requires good writing skills and the ability to accurately convey the intended message in written form.
