Chapter 6 verses 9-10 sound like Paul is calling down condemnation on those who rebel against God. But I'm not sure that was his intention. Earlier today I was speaking to a teenage girl who enjoys running. I encouraged her to carry pepper spray with her unless she wasa running with a group. My motivation was not to see her react but to help her to realize the dangers she faces as a young woman out running. I think Paul was presenting the same message. Beware of the spiritual dangers of this life; those selfish desires that will draw us away from fellowship with God. When he finished his list of concerns he took the next step in reminding those believers in Corinth that God had delivered some of them from those very same dangers.
It took me about 20 minutes to read this passage.
