Only 6 percent of overall respondents say they don't feel it's important to give graduation gifts to anyone. Makecollegecount.com suggests a range of $20 to $50 from relatives of graduates and $15 to $50 from friends of the graduate's family and the graduate's friends.
Paulâs purposes for writing the Corinthians were several. His first purpose was to deal with several moral problems and the divisions that had formed as people had divided into fan-clubs and were proclaiming themselves followers of Paul, Apollos, Peter or Christ (1:10).
Of course this problem is one of the most blatant and destructive examples of what was discussed as the theme of the book. The Corinthians were focused on external methods of measurement for spirituality. The specific reason for the divisions was that the Corinthians were placing their faith in the wisdom of men. Paul points out that the wisdom of men is foolishness to God (1:25) and their faith should be in the power of God (2:5), not the power of men.
