The function the_content() prints the content with a p tag itself. I mean, if you use
echo '<p class="our_p">' . the_content() . '</p>;
It actually outputs-
<p class="our_p"><p>lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...</p></p>
Use get_the_content() instead. It will return the unfiltered content. Something link this-
echo '<p class="our_p">' . get_the_content() . '</p>;
