"Paul also argues unmarried people must please God, just as married people must please their spouses. The letter is also notable for mentioning the role of women in churches, that for instance they must remain silent (1 Cor. 11:2–16, 14:34–35), and the role of prophecy and speaking tongues in churches. After discussing his views on worshipping idols, Paul finally ends with his views on resurrection. He states that Christ died for our sins, and was buried, and rose on the third day according to the scriptures (1 Cor. 15:3). Paul then asks: 'Now if Christ is preached as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?' (1 Cor. 15:12) and addresses the question of resurrection." — "First Letter to the Corinthians" Wikipedia |
