We know that some of the Corinthian believers were promiscuous, wrongly thinking that what they did physically had no spiritual implications. Paul corrects their view of the body in the previous chapter. On the other hand, some were promoting celibacy and particularly celibacy within marriage, as being a more holy and spiritual way. Indeed, Paul commends celibacy as a gift of God but not commanded by Scripture. He alludes to the fact that Satan will attack marriage by promoting lots of sex outside of marriage and little sex within marriage.Sunday, 27 Mar 2011
