Corinthians. 4:2) Those who rent these facilities are responsible for any damages incurred during the time of rental and restitution will be required. Each group is responsible for cleaning the facilities after use. • Responsible adults must supervise all activities and facilities in use to reduce the risk of physical and/or sexual abuse. At least two adults are required for supervision at all times according to camp policy. Overnights require two adults for each gender. Larger groups require a ratio of one adult supervisor for every seven school-aged participants.

See also the good and brief summary of reasons in Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, The Eucharistic Words of Xxxxx, 3rd ed., New Testament Library (SCM Press, 1966), 101–2. Xxxxxxx thinks that two statements have been combined: one focused on the appearances to Xxxxx and the Twelve; the other focused on the appearance to Xxxxx and all the apostles (summarised in Xxxxxxxxxx, 1 Corinthians, 251–52). Xxxxxx restricts the tradition to verses 3b–4 and claims that the absence of παρὰ κυριῷ suggests that the tradition is from the early church (Xxxx Xxxxxx, The First Epistle of Saint Xxxx to the Corinthians, trans.

Corinthians. 12:7. Further, it is worth the effort to take into consideration 2 Cor 12:7 although it does not truly compare to Rom 7:14–25. At any rate, diverse remarkable features emerge through a closer comparison. They uncover an excep- tional and distinctive illustration of a Christian condition which extends beyond all the ordinary. To begin with, 2 Cor 12:7 shows that Xxxx does have problems with his body. He has “a thorn” in his flesh. It relates to “the angel of Satan” who torments him. This extremely peculiar thought is due to the fact that Xxxx over and over again strives to restrain his arrogance but simply fails in all of his endeavors. He has to admit that the evil desire of haughtiness—on account of “the abundance of the revelations” he has envisioned—holds sway over him. He knows what he should do but cannot. The contrition pertains particularly to impure motives, a characteris- tic that absolutely does not fall under a “robust conscience” but rather attests to a diligent self-examination (see above). As the most striking detail here stands out the announcement that the angel of Satan (ultimately given by God, ἐδόθη as passivum divinum) in the end paradoxically fulfills the divine intention! Without doubt, he causes much harm and yet he finally prompts humility. Xxxx plainly says that he needs “torment” (whatever it means) lest he “should be exalted above measure.” He repeats the phrase in order to put more emphasis on it. The repetition simulta- kingdom of God” (1 Cor 15:50a). “Being sold under sin” (Rom 7:14c) indicates that corruption or the perishable does not inherit incorruption or the imperishable (1 Cor 15:50b). Such being the case, the harsh announcement in Rom 7:14 makes real sense in a Christian setting (see above). 116 Cf. already Xxxxxx, “Röm. 7,” 74–75. THROUGH THE LENSES OF XXXX 763 neously suggests that arrogance tempts and provokes him not only once but many times (if not all the time).117 By and large, 2 Cor 12:7 comes quite close to Rom 7:14–25. In both passages, wrestling with evil desires is ongoing, depravity utterly resides in the flesh, and as a result inability to fulfill what God will emerges. Moreover, one common denomina- tor might be added. As far as sin in Rom 7:7–25 represents the serpent in paradise (devil in disguise, see above), it is consonant with the angel of Satan in 2 Cor 12:7. They inhabit the flesh intruding upon the new life in faith. But they do not abso- lutely reign over the whole person (neither the “I” nor X...

Corinthians. 9:27. Obviously 1 Cor 9:27, too, forms a close parallel to Rom 7:14–25. Xxxx talks about his body which threatens to carry him into destruction. He has to prepare himself for a fight against it. However, nowhere does Xxxx xxx, why he must ὑπωπιάζειν (accurately, “strike under the eye”) or δουλαγωγεῖν (literal- ly, “enslave” or “bring into subjection”) his own body. He was in no way a Gnostic who considered all material evil. Rather, 1 Cor 9:27 bears on Rom 7:14–25. Xxxx finds himself in the middle of the eschatological tension. Already free from sin and death he lives in his mortal body which still persists with sin and death. Sin works in his members bringing about death (Rom 7:23–24). Despite the change of aeon the old and the new prevail side by side (more exactly, side against side). Therefore, Xxxx tries very hard to restrain his body. Xxxx he will not escape rejection.116
