| Summary: | The central argument presented here is that 1 Corinthians 4-6 reflects a single eschatological vision of the identity of the Corinthians. This single vision works itself out in two separate references as Paul addresses them as both ‘kings’ and ‘judges’.

This study proposes that these labels actually reflect a single reality based on Paul’s inaugurated eschatology. |
