- Ancient gift-giving implied obligations and loyalty from recipients.
- Paul may use gift language to signal that God's gift obligates allegiance, not license to do anything.
Embrace Community Accountability
- Expect community accountability after receiving God's grace; join a church that practices it.
- Accept that belonging to God's family includes responsibilities and discipline.
