The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 8:13

The law of Christian self restraint. No more perplexing questions are presented to the Christian than those which deal with the limitations of his Christian liberty. Were the Christian man alone in the world, or were he assured that his actions would in no way influence those around him, there are many personal enjoyments in which he could freely indulge, and he would have little call to self restraint. He would at least be a "law unto himself," and need make no laws for himself upon... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 8:13

Wherefore - As the conclusion of the whole matter.If meat ... - Paul here proposes his own views and feelings, or tells them how he would act in order to show them how they should act in these circumstances.Make my brother to offend - Lead him into sin; or shall be the cause of leading him into error and guilt. It does not mean, if the eating of meat should “enrage or irritate” another; but if it is the occasion of his being led into transgression. How this might be done is stated in 1... read more

1 Corinthians 8:9-13. But take heed lest this liberty of yours To eat indifferently of such meats; become a stumbling-block An occasion of doing what they judge unlawful; to them that are weak Uninformed in the truth, or unsettled as to their knowledge of it. For if any man see thee Whom he believes to have more knowledge than himself, and who really hast this knowledge, that an idol is nothing; sit at meat in the idol’s temple To an entertainment there; shall not the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 8:1-13

8:1-11:1 FOOD OFFERED TO IDOLSIn Corinth, as in other places, temples were not just religious centres but also popular eating places. This created problems for the Christians, because the food was usually first offered to idols and Christians were not sure whether they should eat it. A related problem concerned food they bought in the market, for it also may have been first offered to idols. These are the issues Paul now deals with, though they lead him to the more important issue of the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 8:13

Wherefore, if meat causeth my brother to stumble, I will eat no flesh forevermore, that I cause not my brother to stumble.Paul did not lay down rules for others which he was unwilling to honor himself, being of a different sort altogether from the wicked Pharisees (Matthew 23:4).Despite his firmness, however, Paul's pledge here is conditional. "If meat causeth my brother to stumble," is the qualifying clause; and this has the meaning of "stumble, so as to fall and be lost." Guthrie noted that:... read more

1 Corinthians 8:13. While the world standeth— Εις τον αιωνα ; that is, "as long as I live Inferences.—From this short, but excellent chapter, we may learn to estimate the true value of knowledge, and to see how worthless and dangerous it is, when, instead of discovering to us our own ignorance and weakness, it serves only to puff up the mind. We should rather labour and pray for that love and charity which edifieth ourselves and others; (1 Corinthians 8:1.) taking heed that we do not... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 8:7-13

The criterion of care for a brother 8:7-13"He [Paul] develops an airtight case based on a solid theological foundation (1 Corinthians 8:6). But then comes the alla (’however’ [1 Corinthians 8:7]), and the argument moves in an entirely different direction."At issue is the nature of the community. Is it a community where those with a correct theology can ignore others who have an aversion to eating the idol-consecrated food? What must prevail is not the principle of superior knowledge but the... read more
