For your reflection this week I want you to think about the ethic provided by Paul in the
Corinthian letters. Then answer the below questions.
1.
How does the ethics presented by Paul in the Corinthian letters differ from the ethic
found in culture today?
The ethics presented by Paul in his letters to the Corinthians put more emphasis on the
spiritual aspect of things than the material things. He explains the importance of spiritual
development, love for one another, humility, forgiveness, and self-control. Today people tend
to focus more on self-worth and personal achievements. If we used Paul’s ethics in society
today, we would focus more on our relationships, forgiving instead of holding grudges, and
not being greedy. We would place a higher value on our faith and spirituality than material
things of the world. We would all spend more time praying and developing our relationship
with God.
2.
What would it look like for an individual to apply Paul’s biblical ethic in the world
today?
If a person applied Paul’s biblical ethics in the world today, they would be humble,
loving, helpful, kind, truthful, and selfless. We could witness the work of Christ through
this person. They would be focused on living in a way that is pleasing to God and not
worried about personal gains. They would be focused on getting to heaven not climbing
the cooperate latter. If we all lived by Paul’s ethics imagine how much better the world
would be. Paul’s ethics teaches us how to be a true Christian and live by the words of
God. We all have the choice to live by these ethics, but we often let the matter of worldly
things get in the way of that.
