Section 1 Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 1:22–24 strike at the heart of how people respond to the message of Jesus.

But the gospel does not bow to either demand. It stands on its…

Section 1 Paul’s teaching in Romans 14 begins with a call to welcome believers who are weaker in the faith without arguing over differences in personal convictions.

The point is not complic…
