Paul's Seven Church Epistles as a Whole

A.  Romans.  "Doctrine and Instruction."  The gospel of GOD: never hidden, but "promised afore."  GOD's justification of Jew and Gentile individually-dead and risen with Christ (1-8).  Their relation dispensationally (9-11).  The subjective foundation of the mystery.

B.  Corinthians, 1st and 2nd.  "Reproof."  Practical failure to exhibit the teaching of Romans  through not seeing their standing as having died and risen with Christ.  "Leaven" in practice (1st Corinthians 5:6).

C.  Galatians.  "Correction."  Doctrinal failure as to the teaching of Romans.  Beginning with the truth of the new nature ("spirit"), they were "soon removed" (1:6), and sought to be made perfect in the old nature ("flesh") (3:3).  "Leaven" in doctrine (5:9).

A.  Ephesians.  "Doctrine and Instruction."  The mystery of GOD, always hidden, never before revealed.  Individual Jews and Gentiles gathered out and made "one new man" in Christ.  Seated in the heavenlies with Christ.

B.  Philippians.  "Reproof."  Practical failure to exhibit the teaching of Ephesians in manifesting "the mind of Christ" as members of the one Body.

C.  Colossians.  "Correction."  Doctrinal failure as to the teaching of Ephesians.  Wrong doctrines which come from "not holding the Head" (2:19) and not seeing their completeness and perfection in Christ (2:8-10).

A.  Thessalonians, 1st and 2nd.  "Doctrine and Instruction."  Closing all up with the now postponed hope of the Lord's coming.  No "reproof." No "correction."  All praise and thanksgiving.
