John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 1:6

Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you. By "the testimony of Christ" is meant the Gospel of Christ, which bears a testimony to his deity, his incarnation, his obedience, sufferings, and death, his resurrection from the dead, ascension to heaven, session at God's right hand, and intercession for the saints; to redemption by his blood, justification by his righteousness, pardon and atonement of sin by his sacrifice, and complete salvation by his obedience and death. This, as it... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 1:7

So that ye come behind in no gift ,.... Ordinary or extraordinary; a detail of the gifts which were bestowed on them is made in 1 Corinthians 12:8 ; by which it appears that they were not inferior in gifts to any of the churches: waiting for the coming ; or "the revelation" of our Lord Jesus Christ ; who will appear a second time, come in great glory, will raise the dead, and judge both quick and dead; when gifts will cease and be of no more use, and when they must all be accounted... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 1:8

Who shall also confirm you unto the end ,.... The author of this blessing of confirmation is not the Lord Jesus Christ, though he is mentioned in the latter part of 1 Corinthians 1:7 ; and seems to be the antecedent to the relative "who" in this, but is not, for this confirmation is made in him; see 2 Corinthians 1:21 ; and besides, it is in order that the saints might be blameless in the day of Christ, and so must design some other person distinct from him, which is God the Father, 1... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 1:9

God is faithful, by whom ye were called ,.... These words contain arguments, assuring the saints of their confirmation in grace, and of their being preserved blameless to the day of Christ, taken from the faithfulness of God, who is always true to his promises: whatever he has said, he will do it; he will never suffer his faithfulness to fail; and since he has made so many promises concerning the establishment of his people, and their perseverance to grace, they may assure themselves of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 1:10

Now I beseech you, brethren ,.... The apostle having observed the many favours and blessings bestowed on this church, proceeds to take notice of the divisions and contentions which were fomented in it; and in the most kind and tender manner entreats them to take every proper step to prevent schisms among them: he does not use his apostolical power and authority, or lay his injunctions and commands upon them, which he might have done, but most affectionately beseeches them; styling them... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 1:1

Paul, called to be an apostle - Bishop Pearce contends that a comma should be placed after κλητος , called, which should not be joined to αποστολος , apostle: the first signifies being called to, the other sent from. He reads it, therefore, Paul the called; the apostle of Jesus Christ. The word κλητος , called, may be here used, as in some other places, for constituted. For this, and the meaning of the word apostle, see the note on Romans 1:1 . As the apostle had many... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 1:2

The Church of God which is at Corinth - This Church was planted by the apostle himself about a.d. 52, as we learn from Acts 18:1 ; (note), etc. Sanctified in Christ Jesus - Ἡγιασμενοις , Separated from the corruptions of their place and age. Called to be saints - Κλητοις ἁγιοις , Constituted saints, or invited to become such; this was the design of the Gospel, for Jesus Christ came to save men from their sins. With all that in every place, etc. - All who profess... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 1:5

Ye are enriched - ye abound - in all utterance - Εν παντι λογῳ , In all doctrine; for so the word should certainly be translated and understood. All the truths of God relative to their salvation had been explicitly declared to them; and they had all knowledge; so that they perfectly comprehended the doctrines which they had heard. read more
