We have been set free in Christ. That is a summary of these three chapters. But the freedom Paul addresses is different from the freedom defined by 21st century Americans. The freedom in Christ liberates us from the bondages of the Law, legalism, and idolatry. But it also binds us to the needs of others; Christians and heathen. Paul addresses a number of different facets of this truth as he discourses through the problems of the church in Cornth.
It took me about 15 minutes to read this passage.
