His two epistles to the Corinthians come straight from the heart, as he appeals to them to live in peace, in righteousness, in generosity, and not to resist his God-given authority. His Corinthian correspondence abides as a lasting legacy and a challenge for all churches everywhere. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Orthodox Bible Study Companion Series\u003c\/strong\u003e This commentary series was written for the average layperson.
