When Christians are too influenced by the wisdom of this age, they tend to adopt an ethical framework that says, “I can do whatever I want as long as it’s within my rights.” But a truly Christian ethic goes further to say, “I will do whatever it takes to advance the gospel and to remove any obstacles, even at the cost of denying myself and laying aside my rights.” That is the ethic that guided Paul in his gospel mission among the Corinthians.
