In the Corinthian church, there were some disputes among its members that were taken to Roman tribunals. Paul argues that the Roman law and justice are far inferior to the Kingdom of the Lord rules and justice, besides, Christians are called to rule the world; so how would they rule if they are bellow the law and rules of the world? A ruler must have integrity and this is also seen in how he conducts his sexual life. In the Corinthian world, there was a saying: "Food is for the stomach and the stomach for food"; that is "sex is part of our biology as food is". However, this kind of thought leads one to be ruled by sex when in fact, a Christian is one who finds freedom from himself so that he rules over his own body, which is the Lord's temple.
