Taking as its starting point Jerome Murphy-O’Connor's thesis that 1 Cor. 6:18b (‘every sin that a person commits is outside the body’) represents a Corinthian slogan, this essay suggests that a social, cultural, and religious matrix existed at Corinth from which the Corinthians could easily have constructed a slogan similar to that which Murphy-O’Connor envisages. Available evidence suggests that this slogan was developed, in part, by the convergence of at least two major tributaries: (a) a non-Christian or Hellenistic-Roman stream (including popular philosophy and incipient Gnosticism), and (b) a Christian or Jesuanic current, flowing most probably from Paul.
