1 Corinthians
The First Epistle to the Corinthians is a correction and instruction from St. Paul to the churches in the province of Achaia, addressing issues like division, sexual immorality, and chaotic worship. Achaia was a Roman province comprising the Peloponnese and central Greece, with Corinth as its capital. Therefore the main throne (bishop's chair) would eventually be centered at the capital, Corinth. And letters between Rome and the eastern sees would sometimes go through Corinth. See "Additional Resources" link on Directory for church jurisdictions and authority structures that facilitated communication between different thrones (sees) among Asia, Africa, and Asia.
The epistle (letter) emphasizes the importance of unity in Christ, the central role of love, and proper conduct in the Church, especially regarding the Eucharist and spiritual gifts, and concludes with a defense of the resurrection of the dead. It is seen as a guide to orthodox (correct) practice (doctrine) that follows from an orthodox mind (belief).
