In this chapter St. Paul continues to deal with the problem of divisions in the church. Here he diagnoses the problem and gets more personal by telling the people of Corinth that they are carnal people. St. Paul describes people in 3 groups: spiritual, natural and carnal. In the last chapter he discussed spiritual and natural. To resolve this problem, they must grow in their spiritual maturity. These issues continue to trouble the church today, and the resolution remains the same.
