Paul stresses this because freedom in Christ means freedom from sin, not freedom to sin. It empowers believers to obey God through the power of the Spirit.
Paul sees it as crude and passive, not the transformative favor of God meant to redirect believers away from sin and toward the fruit of the Spirit.
Paul instructs the church to judge and address such rebellion, potentially delivering the person to Satan to bring about repentance and restoration.
Paul prefers disputes to be resolved within the church by finding a wise mediator, rather than resorting to lawsuits.
Paul sees both marriage and singleness as gifts from God, with his personal opinion favoring singleness for the sake of focusing on eternal kingdom matters.
Paul addresses the division caused by more mature believers eating such food, which newer believers might misunderstand as endorsement of idolatry.
Paul emphasizes that all things are from, through, and for God, highlighting His role as the source, sustainer, and goal of all creation.
