Very interesting, and may clear up some muddled thoughts we might be having regarding an accurate interpretation of "life-giving spirit".

Thanks. I'm enjoying it immensely.
Here's a quote that jumped out at me:
Quote:

Asher has cogently and persuasively argued that Paul uses a type of deliberative and didactic rhetoric that would have been familiar in Corinth.

This is what I've been saying : Ohio's crack that we're reading someone else's mail is a valid point. The Corinthians had an inside track, based upon past personal encounters with Paul, that's absent to us. They had a special understanding of Paul, that we're (obviously) missing. That even Gladd, Lee, and all the other commentates are missing as well.
That's why we have so many contrivances on 15:45. Cuz none of us were there to get Pauls' mail. We're all getting it secondhand, at best.
More on Ben Gladd to come ; God willing and the creek don't rise.
