    Paul preached about God’s grace whereas his opponents preached contrary to Paul’s message arguing that the law required circumcision. Why would a prisoner who has been granted freedom want to return to prison?

    Paul, in writing to the Corinthians teaches that often we lay aside our wants, our desires, and even our needs for the sake of others. In order to run this race, it takes total commitment.
