There is a consensus among historians and theologians that Paul is the author of the First Epistle to the Corinthians (c. AD 53–54). [6]The letter is quoted or mentioned by the earliest of sources and is included in every ancient canon, including that of Marcion of Sinope. [7]

While Romans and 1 Corinthians, like Colossians, speak of a body of Christ, it is clear that Paul imagines the church as the body of Christ on earth (Rom 7:4, 12:5; 1 Cor 12:27). Conversely, the text of Colossians seems to imagine that Christ is the head of the body, which is the church (Col 1:18).
