Literary context
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 is part of a larger literary unit that deals with unholy conduct. It begins in 5:1 and ends at 6:20 and is discernible by an antithetical inclusio: 5:1-13 sexual immorality and 6:12-20 glorifying God in your body. 6:1-11 is the mid-section, a sub unit that deals with lawsuits between believers. In 6:9-11 Paul weaves in the wrongdoing and rightful judgement of it from Chapter 5. This is evident in the repetition of all of the items of 5:11 in the catalogue of 6:9-10. This list builds upon the listed items in 5:11 which builds upon 5:10. 6:11 acts as a lead in to the opposite end of the inclusio of 6:12-20 - being washed, sanctified and justified in the name of Jesus is what makes the body the temple of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, Paul exhorts the Corinthians to at the

Comment on - καὶ ταῦτά τινες ἦτε – τινες “suggests nuance and realism. Paul does not intend to accuse the entire community” the NRSV and NET Bible recognise this in “some of you” while The Message uses “a number of you.” The imperfect indicative ἦτε envisions the past and is treated as such with “used to be” and “once lived” and “you were.” The demonstrative pronoun ταῦτά: this links the listed actions to the Corinthians. The NRSV’s beginning the sentence with “And this” captures Paul’s emphasis as opposed to the NET Bible’s ending with it.
Comment on ἐν τῷ πνεύματι – The NRSV translation treats the dative case of the Spirit as locative or in the realm of – indicated by translating ἐν as “in” whereas The Message and Net Bible translations treats the dative case Spirit as instrumental - indicated by translating ἐν as “by” in this instance. This makes the Spirit the initiator of the passive verbs (and possibly middle verb) that precede it: washed, sanctified and
September 11, 2011, started like every normal day in New York City. People rushing to work, children going to school, and people taking a morning walk or jog. But no one knew that this day would turn into a horror film. A terrorist organization call al-Qaeda hijacked airplanes and hammered them into the World Trade Centers North and South Tower along with the Pentagon in Washington D.C. The September 11, 2001, attacks changed America forever (9/11 Attacks - 102 minutes That Changed America).
The morning of 9/11 I wasn’t going to go to work because I had an allergy appointment,
Putting pen to paper, Paul pleas with the Corinthians to better themselves through Christ Jesus. While in discourse with the Corinthians, the polemic language of Paul becomes, at times, difficult to digest. While pursuing a better relationship with the believers in Corinth, the apostle often used terms such as ‘we,’ ‘our,’ and ‘us.’ These pronouns can be understood in multiple ways; however, the manner in which they are comprehended sheds light on Paul’s agenda. In the analysis of 2 Corinthians 4: 8-18, the pronouns are best understood as being inclusive in terms of Paul, his followers, and the believers in Corinth.
On September 11, 2001 the World Trade Center buildings one and two were attacked. However, who we were attacked by and even if we were attacked is a hard decision to make. There have been many different claims about how everything on that fateful day happened. There are facts that we know are true, though; Flight 11 flew into the North Tower at eight forty- six in the morning. Soon after, Flight 175 attacked the South Tower. By the end of the day, both towers had collapsed and other hijacked flights had caused damage. The amount of lives lost on September 11 was substantial; 2,749 people from eighty-three different countries died from the attacks (Facts about the attacks…, n.d.). All in all, America was changed forever.
On September 11, 2001 terrorists apprehended 4 airplanes and committed the most heinous act in American history. They flew two planes into the world trade center, one into the Pentagon, and one crashed in a field in Pennsylvania crash killing more than three thousand American citizens. Since 9 /11many things have changed in America in relation to our national security.
Since the terrorist attacks on 9/11, America has been on edge about the topic of terrorism. Groups like Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Taliban, and now more recently, ISIS, has kept the world cautious of their every next move. Looking more closely into how these groups are formed and operate could help us better understand how they can be stopped. Studying the history of terrorist organizations can help us better predict the future of terrorist organizations.
In 2001, the United States suffered greatly; on 9/11, America was sent into a frenzy. The citizens of the United States were left scarred and shocked. It is how America came out of that day that is amazing. Instead of standing still and backing down, the U.S. pushed through and came out stronger. Bush’s use of tone, all of the rhetorical triangle, and cause and effect leaves the audience, American citizens, feeling good about the war in Iraq and all that he has done since that dreadful day, even if they do not actually agree with it at all.
“I'm confident air travel is still the safest method of transportation.” Said Chad Elwood pilot for southwest airline.
Following the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing, Rescorla invited Hill to New York, where he hired him as a security consultant in order to assess the building 's security. Although no arrests had yet been made, Rescorla believed that the bomb had been planted by Muslims. Hill went undercover in several mosques throughout New Jersey, showing up for morning prayers at dawn. He took on the character of an anti-American Muslim, in order to interview the other visitors to the mosques. He concluded that the attack was likely planned by a radical imam at a mosque in New York or New Jersey. Followers of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, a radical Muslim cleric based in Brooklyn, were subsequently convicted of the bombing.
George W. Bush once said that “Our enemies have made the mistake that America’s enemies always make. They see liberty and think they saw weakness.” 9/11 was a devastating day in American history. Men, from the terrorist group Al Quada, attacked America on their own soil for the first time since Japan attack us at Pearl Harbor. But there are some things we can isolate from it. The basic overview of it. What were the terrorists doing to get ready for the day, and what was their major purpose and intention.
On September 11th, 2001, a terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York and on the Pentagon in Washington D.C. captured the world’s attention. Almost three thousand innocent lives were lost, leaving the event a tragic and eternal piece of U.S. history. Leaders from all reaches of the world offered their sympathies. George W. Bush, the president of the United States at the time, delivered a strong, defiant response to the terrorist attacks, appealing to the patriotic masses of his country. England’s Prime Minister Tony Blair offered a more subdued, mournful response. While Bush championed for revenge, Blair focused on hope and morality. Both leaders utilized different rhetorical devices to make their respected points.
After analyzing the 9/11 Commission report is it clear that there were multiple structural shortcomings on behalf of the Federal Bureau of investigations(FBI) that may have contributed to their inability to stop the 9/11 attacks. Additionally, there was lack of oversight on the FBI by the Executive and Legislative Branches.
Paul was also concerned how this sin had affected the Corinthian Church. The consequences of our
In Romans 7:7-25 we see Paul’s conviction of the law and learning how to live a sanctified life where he claims that the law is not evil but it is present to show sins existence in our life.
As with most other Pauline attributed documents, 1 Corinthians is believed to be a single document that addresses salient topics and rationalizes Paul’s view of faithfulness to Christ with Corinth citizens. The newly founded church of Corinth was in correspondence with Paul requesting his answers to questions they posed on topics ranging from marriage to the resurrection of the dead; the latter being one of the most highlighted in 1 Corinthians. Paul’s assurance of resurrection illustrates a concern for Corinth as he admonishes their disbelief in resurrection of the dead with a series of explanations as to why such doubt would render the faith of Christ “in vain”. Given the context of the time, Paul’s correspondence with Corinth clearly
