A REPROOF OF SPIRITUAL PRIDE. The marks of carnal men:... [ Continue Reading ]
AND I, BRETHREN, COULD NOT SPEAK UNTO YOU AS UNTO SPIRITUAL, BUT AS UNTO CARNAL, EVEN AS UNTO BABES IN CHRIST.... [ Continue Reading ]
I HAVE FED YOU WITH MILK AND NOT WITH MEAT; FOR HITHERTO YE WERE NOT ABLE TO BEAR IT, NEITHER YET NOW ARE YE ABLE.... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR YE ARE YET CARNAL; FOR, WHEREAS THERE IS AMONG YOU ENVYING AND STRIFE AND DIVISIONS, ARE YE NOT CARNAL AND WALK AS MEN? Paul has held before the Christians of Corinth the wonderful blessings which belong to all believers through the Gospel, and which should be used and exercised by them in a pro...

FOR WHILE ONE SAITH, I AM OF PAUL, AND ANOTHER, I AM OF APOLLOS, ARE YE NOT CARNAL?... [ Continue Reading ]
All ministers of Christ of equal rank:... [ Continue Reading ]
WHO, THEN, IS PAUL AND WHO IS APOLLOS BUT MINISTERS BY WHOM YE BELIEVED, EVEN AS THE LORD GAVE TO EVERY MAN?... [ Continue Reading ]
I HAVE PLANTED, APOLLOS WATERED; BUT GOD GAVE THE INCREASE.... [ Continue Reading ]
SO, THEN, NEITHER IS HE THAT PLANTS ANYTHING, NEITHER HE THAT WATERS, BUT GOD, THAT GIVETH THE INCREASE.... [ Continue Reading ]
NOW HE THAT PLANTS AND HE THAT WATERS ARE ONE; AND EVERY MAN SHALL RECEIVE HIS OWN REWARD ACCORDING TO HIS OWN LABOR. Paul here repeats his chief complaint against the Corinthian Christians, that of yielding to party spirit and forming factions: For whenever anyone says, I belong to the party of Pau...

FOR WE ARE LABORERS TOGETHER WITH GOD; YE ARE GOD'S HUSBANDRY, YE ARE GOD'S BUILDING.... [ Continue Reading ]
The laborers and the foundation:... [ Continue Reading ]
ACCORDING TO THE GRACE OF GOD WHICH IS GIVEN UNTO ME, AS A WISE MASTER BUILDER, I HAVE LAID THE FOUNDATION, AND ANOTHER BUILDS THEREON. BUT LET EVERY MAN TAKE HEED HOW HE BUILDS THEREUPON.... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. The apostle now employs a different figure in order to bring out another thought closely connected with his present discourse. The members of the congregation sin against their teachers as well as against God if they make... [ Continue Reading ]
Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble,... [ Continue Reading ]
The building itself:... [ Continue Reading ]
EVERY MAN'S WORK SHALL BE MADE MANIFEST; FOR THE DAY SHALL DECLARE IT, BECAUSE IT SHALL BE REVEALED BY FIRE; AND THE FIRE SHALL TRY EVERY MAN'S WORK OF WHAT SORT IT IS.... [ Continue Reading ]
IF ANY MAN'S WORK ABIDE WHICH HE HATH BUILT THEREUPON, HE SHALL RECEIVE A REWARD.... [ Continue Reading ]
IF ANY MAN'S WORK SHALL BE BURNED, HE SHALL SUFFER LOSS; BUT HE HIMSELF SHALL BE SAVED, YET SO AS BY FIRE. Paul here treats of the superstructure which is erected upon the one foundation, and distinguishes between rich and durable material on the one hand, and poor, paltry, and perishing on the othe...

KNOW YE NOT THAT YE ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD, AND THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELLETH IN YOU?... [ Continue Reading ]
Every Christian a temple of God:... [ Continue Reading ]
IF ANY MAN DEFILE THE TEMPLE OF GOD, HIM SHALL GOD DESTROY; FOR THE TEMPLE OF GOD IS HOLY, WHICH TEMPLE YE ARE.... [ Continue Reading ]
LET NO MAN DECEIVE HIMSELF. IF ANY MAN AMONG YOU SEEMETH TO BE WISE IN THIS WORLD, LET HIM BECOME A FOOL THAT HE MAY BE WISE.... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR THE WISDOM OF THIS WORLD IS FOOLISHNESS WITH GOD. FOR IT IS WRITTEN, HE TAKETH THE WISE IN THEIR OWN CRAFTINESS.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND AGAIN, THE LORD KNOWETH THE THOUGHTS OF THE WISE THAT THEY ARE VAIN. This is not merely a warning lest any of the readers find themselves sharing the fate of such whose efforts will not stand the test of the last day, but it is an arraignment of those who become destroyers of God's house, whom t...

THEREFORE LET NO MAN GLORY IN MEN. FOR ALL THINGS ARE YOURS... [ Continue Reading ]
The conclusion:... [ Continue Reading ]
WHETHER PAUL, OR APOLLOS, OR CEPHAS, OR THE WORLD, OR LIFE, OR DEATH, OR THINGS PRESENT, OR THINGS TO COME; ALL ARE YOURS;... [ Continue Reading ]
AND YE ARE CHRIST'S, AND CHRIST IS GOD'S. This being true, that the world's wisdom is foolishness before God, let therefore no one glory in men. Both the self-praise of the world's wise men and the foolish adoration given to them is here condemned; and this all the more so, since everything is to se... [ Continue Reading ]
