1 Corinthians 7-8

• It's good for man not to have sexual relations (7:1). This was raised by the Corinthian church when communicating with Paul. But is this God's intention?
• But for the sake of temptation, should just get married. (v2)
• Once married, life is not about self anymore. Husband has authority over wife's body and likewise wife has authority over husband's body (v4)

• Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do. But take care that this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak. (8:8-9)
• While we know these things will not distant our relationship with God, we must be aware not do these things if it will make others stumble (also v13)
