Study Note

Paul's address 'unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord' is theologically dense in its opening salvo. The phrase 'call upon the name' (epikaleisthai to onoma) echoes Joel 2:32 ('whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved'), here applied to Jesus — a christological transfer of divine prerogative that implies equality with Yahweh. The universal extension ('all that in every place') prevents the letter from being merely a local correction and frames its theological content as normative for the whole church. The juxtaposition of 'sanctified in Christ Jesus' (already holy by divine act) and 'called to be saints' (ongoing vocation) captures the indicative-imperative structure fundamental to all of Paul's ethical exhortation.
