Paul addresses quite a few issues with the Corinthians: sexual immorality, lawsuits among believers, marriage & divorce, eating food sacrifices to idols, and propriety in worship. At the same time, he recognizes that all of the temptations connected with these things are common to all people--there's nothing incredibly strange about struggling with these things, but God gives us the power we need to overcome them and live godly lives. Anything on this earth can become a stumbling block, but we must proceed with humility and God's wisdom to move forward and not get frozen in fear by all the things we could do wrong.
