• Problem of divisions
• Coming out of the membership
• Who are acting in light of their sin nature
Big Picture
• Must understand the condition of the recipient: 1) Their position--"In Christ"--1:1-9; 2) Their conduct: a) Carnal--3:1, 3--the sin nature dominates their decisions and actions; b) Babes--3:1--the idea of lack of maturity (growth)
• The theme--problems arising from carnality
Control
• Control of sinful desires hinders maturity (growth)
• Control of the Holy Spirit (spirituality) aides in maturity

• Problem stated—1:10-12
• The correction they need—1:10 “speak (think) the same thing”
