We also see the Christian’s three enemies at work in chapters 1–10.
Chapters 1-4—The wisdom of the world.
Chapters 5-7—The lusts of the flesh.
Chapters 8-10—The power of the devil (demons).
The Apostle shows how these three things can destroy a local assembly, and gives God’s remedy for dealing with them.
