Esi sibini saziwa ngokuthembeka kwaso kukholo lobuKristu nokuzinikela ekusasazeni umyalezo kaKristu ngexesha lamaKristu bayatshutshiswa kwaye igqalwa njengentshukumo yoqhekeko.
Ukhozi lwaseSt yayiye Imvelaphi yobuYuda kwaye kukholelwa ukuba wayemazi umpostile uPaolo eKorinte. Yena nomfazi wakhe UPrisila babengabarhwebi beempahla ababehlala eRoma yaye babengenisa uPaolo ekhayeni labo. Kuthiwa uPawulos wayenayo wahlala nabo kangangexesha elithile nokuba wayeshumayela ekhayeni labo.
