A study of the letters that Paul wrote is always beneficial and educational. There are so many different aspects of the Christian life that he addresses. Keep in mind, that although he was the earthly penman, the Scriptures came from God (1 Cor. 14:37). With that being understood, let us notice a challenging command that
