<p>Maybe not quite such a clear take away message&nbsp;</p>
<p>1 Corinthians chapter 4 is about:&nbsp;</p>
<p>Nothing in particular&nbsp;<br>Everything in general&nbsp;</p>
<p>It's not like so many other chapters in 1 Corinthians that get their teeth into a specific problem:&nbsp;</p>
<p>Chp 5 &amp;&nbsp; 6 -&nbsp; Moral Problems&nbsp;</p>
