A healthy plant, like a healthy Christian, is always reaching for the Light and growing toward the Son. The flowering we call resurrection manifests who we are as people of God.
Though spiritual gifts can be as confusing as an Icelandic sign, Paul unveils that they are not for individual showmanship, but for a selfless love that makes the entire body whole.
A dispute over food sacrificed to idols ultimately reveals that Christian freedom is not for boasting, but for humbly building up others through love.
Instead of treating the body as a means for selfish gain, Paul's message points to a greater purpose where our bodies are made into a holy dwelling for God himself.

Amidst the noise of sin and the inevitability of death, Paul's final revelation is that Christ's resurrection is the event that transforms chaos into a unified, new, beautiful life.
