Oh the irony .... do you know what tl;dr means? Here is a hint - 'too long, didn't read". Which you obviously didn't. Now brush up on your phonics and try again, this time for comprehension.

Why was 1 Cor written?

Corinthians was written because the Corinthians decided they knew better than what S. Paul had taught them. Read all of the footnotes in the D-R bible for Corinthians. Then re-read Acts and Romans. God chose Paul to go to speak to the Gentiles; to go to Rome.

Footnotes? I can read

He was writing to a church that was tearing itself apart because they were fighting over who should lead them

1 Cor 1

10 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters,[a] in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11 My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12 What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas[b]”; still another, “I follow Christ.”

You can read, but can you understand? Sounds like you have a Lutheran version of the text. Lutheran being a generic term. Get a Douay Rheims, the one with footnotes. Read the footnotes, then read the chapters, then read the footnotes again.

Now read Cor 1 13 and 14 and 15. The reason he wrote this letter is because the Corinthians had already fallen into schism if not actual heresy.

Cor 1 deals with the dissention already occurring Cor 6 deals with resolving disputes Cor 7 deals with marriage

He was putting in words, what he preached so they would have reference.

Hilarious, make a stupid statement and claim that is what someone else believes. Okay. Since you seem a little ... slow ... just read the Quran, then you don't have to make things up and tire out your underfunctioning brain.

All right Captain Bib;e, tell me what this means:

1 Cor 7:7 I wish that all of you were as I am.

Did you read before 7:7 and after? As in the entirety of 7? He is referencing that he is unmarried and probably still a virgin (see 7:8). The entirety of 7 deals with marriage and the relationship between husband and wife. What version on the Bible are you reading?
