Initially, Paul's words to the Corinthians about being the body of Christ seem simple and straightforward. However, the passage raises several critical questions which point to its deeper implication. Michelle Lee examines Paul's instructions in 1 Corinthians 12-14 against the backdrop of Hellenistic moral philosophy, and especially Stoicism.
