Paul says, "Remember first of all, Jesus died for your sins, including the ruin of broken relationships that's caused by sexual misconduct. And so if you're a Christian, sexual integrity is one of the main ways that we respond to Jesus' love and grace."
Broken relationships due to sexual misconduct
Paul also reminds them that just as Jesus was physically raised from the dead, so our bodies will be raised from the dead. Which means this: if your body is being redeemed by Jesus now and in the future, then what you do with your body matters. It matters a lot. And it's not yours to do whatever you want with.

In chapters 8-10 the issue is about food. The Corinthians were divided over is meat that came from animals sacrificed in the local temples to Greek and Roman gods. And there was a split between the Jewish and non-Jewish Christians about how to respond to this issue.
Don't eat meat!
Non-Jewish Christians
Let's feast!
Paul says our allegiance first and foremost is to Jesus as Lord, not to any other gods. Paul stated two scenarios wherein there’s a time and place where you can eat meat and where you can’t eat meat.

In chapters 11-14, Paul addresses problems in their weekly worship gathering. There were some people who were having really powerful spiritual experiences in the gathering and so they would start praying out loud in unknown languages. There were other people who might start sharing a teaching or a word from God and then someone would get up and interrupt them because they wanted to share. And it all was really chaotic and it was distracting people, especially visitors, from hearing the gospel.

So in these chapters, Paul helps them think first of all about the purpose of this gathering; to help them see what kind of behaviors are appropriate. He says the gathering is a place where God's Spirit should be working through everybody and it should happen in a unified way. Paul says something about the church as a human body. It's one but it has all these different parts and each part serves a unique and important role.
