Taking the occasion of a short study of 1Cor 5:9-11 and 1Cor 1–2, we sug- gest two exegetical principles, which are essential to understand the first letter to the Corinthians according to the Pauline intention: the rhetorical and the apo- calyptic principle. Our essay leads to an approach between exegesis, rhetoric and reading in the Spirit of the Pauline writings.
