The document summarizes the order, structure, and obligations of the early church in Corinth. The church had regular meetings, responsibilities for members' behavior, and a teaching system. It also had the power to appoint judges, distinguish members from non-members, take a weekly collection, and approve and send its own messengers. Overall, the church functioned as a specific, organized team united in collective will, action, edification, discipline, work, and worship.
