19. Paul wrote this letter to correct what he saw as
erroneous views in the Corinthian church. Several
sources informed Paul of conflicts within the
church at Corinth

seem to be a problem, and Paul makes it a point to
mention these conflicts in the beginning. Paul
wants to bring them back to what he sees as correct
doctrine, saying that God has given him the
opportunity to be a “skilled master builder” to lay
the foundation and let others build upon it
