MEMORY SELECTION: Let
no man seek his own, but ev
ery man another’s wealth.—(1
Corinthians 10:24.) Man is a
social being, which means
that to a large extent he' is
dependent on all other men,
and likewise all men are de
pendent upon him. For this
reason a person should not
seek to live a purely subjec
tive life nor a selfish life and
only seek his own interest. A
higher form of life is to live
objectively and for the good
of other men. In doing so,
he will be mutually benefited
by seeking the good of other
men. This will life the stand
ard on a higher plane and lead
to happiness, helpfulness and
prosperity.
PAUL’S CONCERN ABOUT
ANOTHER’S WELL-BEING:
According to our background
material there had developed
quite an argument among the
Corinthian Christians over
their right to eat meat which
had been left over from the
sacrifice to idols. Paul gave
the church at Corinth some
practical directives to follow
as Christians in this matter,
so that they would not offend
those who would think and
feel differently toward them
if they did eat of such meat.
Here is what Paul said. “I
have a right as a Christian to
do anything I want to do, but
every thing that I may do will
not necessarily be useful or
expedient, or constructive. 1
should set the good of my
neighbor as my objective.”
The Corinthians should apply
this same attitude in their re
lations. Paul went on to tell
the Corinthians that they
could eat whatever meat they
bought in the meat market,
for the market was a public
place and they would not be
suspected by anyone of show
ing favor to idolatry. Furth

ermore, if they were invited
the home of a pagan for din
ner, and they wanted to go,
they could feel free to go
and eat anything that was set
before them without asking
any question on the ground
of conscience. They would be
doing this for the sake of
the conscience of that person.
Of course, continued Paul,
this seems like a lot of non
sense especially when you
have given God the thanks
and glory for food and you
know that there is nothing
wrong with the eating of it.
So many times we ourselves
are victims of people’s scrup
les. We know that many
times certain things are right
to do, but because it is ob
jectionable to someone else
who believes differently we
a«ix
advanced spirituality in arro
gance against our fellow man.
As long as no basic moral
principles are involved, the
strong Christian can put up
with the weird ideas and
scruples of his wear brother.
This lesson is important for
us today, because there are
many people who have grown
to a greater degree of spiritual
maturity than others, and
they are able to see above
and beyond certain things that
their less matured brother
cannot see. In order that our
brother, who has not grown
as fast spiritually as has been
desired, will not be hurt con
science wise and be made to

stumble we must refrain from
such actions and love him and
be patient with him.
PAUL’S FINAL CONCLU
SION:
Paul’s conclusion in this
whole matter is summed up in
these verses. He informs us
that eating and drinking is
not all of life. No matter
w’hat is done by a Christian
it is to be done to the glory
of God. As we work to do all
to the glory of God we lose
sight on ourselves.
Just think for a minute
what our church fellowships
would be like if today we ac
tually pursued the more ex
cellent way of live. We would
be patient with one another
at all times. We would not
be critical of each other and
always finding fault with one
another. We would seek no
glory for ourselves, but would
always think in terms of our
brother. If this spirit prevail
ed in our cnurcnes today t.ie
whole community would know
that Christ in one’s life makes
a difference.
THE ENDURANCE OF
LOVE:
Another important thing a
bout the love that Paul wan
ted to share with the Corin
thians was the endurance of
love Love, said Paul, would
last on and on and on. When
all other things had faded
away and disappeared love
would still be here. Love pos
sesses imperishable qualities.
But gifts like prophecy, ton
gues, and knowledge will ev
entually be done away with.
These gifts are temporary and
incomplete. They are of help
to us only in this life. This
is not a complete help because
these gifts do not provide the
whole truth of life. There will
be a change made. That
change is similar to the change
that takes place between
childhood and adulthood.
When one is a child he thinks,
talks and feels like a child,
but when one enters adulthood
such childish traits vanish.
Again it is like our present
everyday conditions. We try
to know the truth of life but
at our best we can only see
truth blurred. It is as though
we were looking in a smoked
covered mirror, but the time
will come only a little now,
but God will see to it that we
will know it all if we will keep
faith, hope, and above all,
love. Love is the greatest,
because it is the very nature
of God.
PRACTICAL POINTS ON
THE LESSON:
In the Corinthian Church
Paul discovered several other
undersirable practices. This
was especially true with refer
ence to church assembles thp
Lord’s Supper and the use of
spiritual gifts. For instance,
the Lord’s Supper was a very
important occasion for the
Corinthians. It was a love
feast, and there was always
plenty to eat when the Lord’s
Supper was observed. But
when the Corinthians met at
this important meal they
would show the lack of Chris
tian love for both God and
each other. Because of the
dissension among them they
would divide up into little
groups and not fellowship
with one another. One group
or many certain individuals
would try to take all of the
food and drink giving no
thought of the others who
were present or who were yet
to come. The Corinthians
made a mockery of the Lord’s
Supper and love feast. They
failed to realize that the
Lord’s Supper was a religious
institution and was to be at
tended religiously. There was
also this matter of the diver
sity of spiritual gifts. God
gave each one a gift, but not
all the same gift. To Paul,
Christian love; was the high
est and best of all gifts.
