Paul wrote to the Corinthians to give instruction and admonition that would lead to solving the congregation's many problems. Some of these problems may have arisen out of a " super spiritualist " group influenced by incipient Gnostic teachings. All the problems in 1Corinthians chapters 1-14 were grounded in egocentric or self centered attitudes in contrast to self denying, Christ centered attitudes. Chapter 15 concerning the resurrection may reflect sincere misconceptions on the part of the Corinthians. Thus Paul contrasted the egocentric life with the Christocentric life, showing the mature Christian is characterized by giving, not getting.
