Many Corinthian Christians used to practice works of darkness, yet Paul told them: “But you have been washed clean, but you have been sanctified, but you have been declared righteous in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the spirit of our God. ” — 1 Corinthians 6: 9 - 11.
Paljud Korintose kristlased olid teinud pimeduse tegusid. Ometi ütles Paulus neile: „Aga te olete puhtaks pestud, olete pühitsetud, olete õigeks tehtud Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse nimes ja meie Jumala Vaimus ”.
