Epistle from Paul to the Corinthians, in the New Testament
Fishburn and Hughes: "Two epistles by St Paul addressed to the Christians in Corinth. In the first, written in Ephesus in 57, Paul emphasises the unity of all Christians in Christ and answers questions on specific points of behaviour. All the following quotations are taken from I Corinthians. Three Versions of Judas: 'He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord' is the concluding verse of the first chapter. Particular relevance to Judas's abasement may be found in the preceding passages: 'God has chosen the foolish things of this world to confound the wise'(1:27) and 'that no flesh should glory in his presence'(1:29). 'The Theologians: ‘For we now see through a glass darkly': the 'perversion' of taking this famous apocalyptic quotation as proof that 'everything we see is false' is explained by its context. Now our heavenly vision is limited and obscured, whereas 'when that which is perfect is come' it will be complete. A Biography of Tadeo Isidoro Cruz: 'All things to all men.' This quotation, used to summarise different readers' attitudes to Martín Fierro, has a more didactic meaning in its own context. The complete verse reads: 'To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some'(9:22). The same verse is alluded to as a definition of the Cult of the Phoenix CF 172." (52)
