I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. Romans 12:1-3

AFter noticing the out of balance Pauline folks who try hard to justify ignoring Corinthians, I will say that we can and still should look to Corinthians for Scriptural direction TO us.

We just must remember:

• There are still Jews in the audiences in Corinthians!
• Written in the Acts 19-21 time!
• The Corinthian church folks were truly messed up folks - we can all sure relate to them!
• The physical kingdom hadn't yet been done away with totally yet - that which was to come hadn't come!
• Because 'it' has come today, the source to know about 'helps' today is from the KJB - not from Paul and his people physically!
• So, Paul's stuff, including Corinthians, is still TO us and so the help from Paul is found in all the KJB - rightly divided, rightly read and rightly studied!

• bodies - a living sacrifice... - physical - things we do in our daily walk.
• choices:
• 1) ignore any physical Christianity - 'We can't do it anyway!" and just ride the grace wave!
• 2) accept the verse yet head to the Gospels and early Acts for the directions and turn to Hebrews to Jude for the consequences!
• 3) wrongly look to Paul - ignore Corinthians as well as the others - and just concentrate on the prison epistles - ride the grace wave!
• 4) seek Paul's help from the KJB - strengthen your faith - learn what Christ did TO us as well as FOR us - and respond like men - quit ye like men - it is our reasonable service!

The KJB will help us with our physical walk - presenting our bodies a living sacrifice, etc. ...

• I Corinthians 2:5 - the power of God today is the KJB - read it over and over and watch the power of God work in your lives by YOUR actions.  It worketh effectually in you that believe...  I Thessalonians 2:13
• I Corinthians 3:21-23 - all things are yours - God to Christ to us - we are joint heirs!
• I Corinthians 5:6-13 - putting away that wicked person.  Who are the 'wicked people' in your lives.  Note:  Paul is talking about the brethren here.
• I Corinthians 6:19, 20 -  to glorify God in our body and in our spirit!  The 'walk' is still an important element of being a Christian.
• I Corinthians 8:9 - not let our liberty cause our children to stumble!

The KJB will help us with our physical walk - presenting our bodies a living sacrifice, etc. ...

• I Corinthians 15:34 - to awake to righteousness
• I Corinthians 15:51-58 - to be stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord - it won't be in vain.
• I Corinthians 16:14-18 - learn how to be refreshing to others and be refreshed from others.
• II Corinthians 4:5 - get the help from Paul preaching Christ Jesus the Lord as they are our servants to help us - for Jesus' sake.
• II Corinthians 10:15 - with our faith growing so others may hear also.
• II Corinthians 12:19 - to be edified and to be edifying to others
• II Corinthians 13:5 - prove our own selves!  Assurance based on rightly dividing should give us even more confidence in the Scriptures, not in a feeling!
• II Corinthians 13:9 - to be strong and not so 'dependable' on the Bible - even our perfection should grow!  Not to 'not need the Bible' but not to have to rely on it as a crutch - we should be able to live as a Christian being supported by the Scriptures, not hiding in them!
