Beginning in chapter 12 Paul discussed how Christians are to live.

Moo states that "All theology is practical, and all practice, if it is truly Christian, is theological. Paul's gospel is deeply theological, but it is also eminently practical.

In the letter, King alludes to many voices of the past in order to gain the support of his audience. King uses examples such as, the Apostle Paul, Nelson Mandela, and Adolf Hitler, to explain and justify his presence in Birmingham jail. The first allusion King refers to is the Apostle Paul, and his Macedonian call. According to the Bible, Paul was called upon by God in a vision to preach the gospel to the people in Macedonia. “After Paul had seen the vision, [he] got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called [him] to preach the gospel to them” (New International Version, Acts 16.10).

Before examining the examples he uses, one must first understand to who the sermon was directed.

(1996) include the following: · New Law (Christ Against Culture) portrays Christians as a totally new kind of people living by totally new ethical standards at odds with all foundational aspects of worldly cultures. · Natural Law (Christ of Culture) portrays Christians as seeking to accommodate the ethics and values of the Gospel to bring out the very best in existing but imperfect cultures.

Amanda Kelly February 11, 2013 The gospel and Ethical Egoism The scriptures contain a number of passages that in some way or another associate moral obligation with self-interest in the form of seeking rewards and avoiding punishment. Thus, Exodus 20:12 says “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God gives you.” Jesus tells us to “seek first His kingdom, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you” (Matt. 6:33). On another occasion he warns his listeners that at the end of the age “the angels shall come forth, and take out the wicked from among the righteous, and will cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matt. 13:49–50).
