Brotherly Concern (1 Corinthians 8:4–13)
We need to learn and live out the principles of 1 Corinthians 8–10 as we wrestle with how far to exercise our personal liberty as Christians. The principle of Paul’s exhortation is simple: Your liberty to do what is permissible ends where your brother or sister’s spiritual well-being begins. In other words, permissible liberty is to be governed brotherly concern. We will unpack this as we study vv. 4–13 under three major headings: 1. A Settled Confidence (vv. 4–6) 2. A Sensitive Conscience (v. 7) 3. A Selfless Concern (vv. 8–13)
Scripture References: 1 Corinthians 8:4-13
From Series: "1 Corinthians Exposition"
An exposition of 1 Corinthians by Doug Van Meter.
