Abstract:
In the closed and coherent unit of argumentation under analysis (I Cor. 6, 12-14) freedom in relation to using one's body must be understood as the freedom of a person to keep oneself against all types of enslavement (cf. 6, 12), but also as such surrendering to Christ, in which He is the disposer of the person, including his/her body as the integral part. An anthropological reason of the error of addressees of Paul's argumentation is their incorrect reference to human body, a deeper theological reason – the lack of consequence between faith and its moral implications. In his moral teaching the Apostle Paul invariably – as seen in the fragment under analysis – refers to the preached kerygma and its basic subject matter, simultaneously, however, his argumentation reveals an ability for good analysis of the message carried by the words used in the circles for which he addresses his reasoning.
