Analogies
Paul draws on several analogies in this chapter to present his teaching about living as a Christian. First he uses the analogy of a soldier, then an athlete, and then that of a farmer. A little further on in the chapter, he also uses the analogy of different kinds of containers in a house, some for ordinary, everyday use, and others reserved for use on special occasions.
