John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 6:11

And such were some of you ,.... Not all, but some of them; and of these everyone was not guilty of all these crimes; but some had been guilty of one, and others of another; so that they had been all committed by one or another of them. The Corinthians were a people very much given to uncleanness and luxury, without measure F9 Aelian. Hist. var. l. 1. c. 19. , which was the ruin of their state: and among these wicked people God had some chosen vessels of salvation; who are put in mind... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 6:12

All things are lawful unto me ,.... That is, which are of an indifferent nature; otherwise everything is not lawful to be done: but all things are not expedient ; when the doing of them destroys the peace, comfort, and edification of others; when it stumbles and grieves weak minds, and causes offence to them; see 1 Corinthians 10:23 all things are lawful for me ; which is repeated for the sake of saying the following words: but I will not be brought under the power of any ;... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 6:7

There is utterly a fault among you - There is a most manifest defect among you, Of peaceableness; Of brotherly love; Of mutual confidence; and Of reverence for God, and concern for the honor of his cause. Why do ye not rather take wrong? - Better suffer an injury than take a method of redressing yourselves which must injure your own peace, and greatly dishonor the cause of God. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 6:8

Nay, ye do wrong - Far from suffering, ye are the aggressors; and defraud your pious, long-suffering brethren, who submit to this wrong rather than take those methods of redressing their grievances which the spirit of Christianity forbids. Probably the apostle refers to him who had taken his father's wife. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 6:9

The unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom - The unrighteous, αδικοι , those who act contrary to right, cannot inherit, for the inheritance is by right. He who is not a child of God has no right to the family inheritance, for that inheritance is for the children. If children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ, Romans 8:17 . There are here ten classes of transgressors which the apostle excludes from the kingdom of God; and any man who is guilty of any one of the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 6:11

And such were some of you - It was not with the prospect of collecting saints that the apostles went about preaching the Gospel of the kingdom. None but sinners were to be found over the face of the earth; they preached that sinners might be converted unto God, made saints, and constituted into a Church; and this was the effect as well as the object of their preaching. But ye are washed - Several suppose that the order in which the operations of the grace of God take place in the soul is... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 6:12

All things are lawful unto me - It is likely that some of the Corinthians had pleaded that the offense of the man who had his father's wife, as well as the eating the things offered to idols, was not contrary to the law, as it then stood. To this the apostle answers: Though such a thing be lawful, yet the case of fornication, mentioned 1 Corinthians 5:1 , is not expedient, ου συμφερει - it is not agreeable to propriety, decency, order, and purity. It is contrary to the established usages... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 6:7

Verse 7 7.Now indeed there is utterly a fault. Here we have the second part of the reproof, which contains a general doctrine; for he now reproves them, not on the ground of their exposing the gospel to derision and disgrace, but on the ground of their going to law with each other. This, he says, is a fault We must, however, observe the propriety of the term which he employs. For ἥττημα in Greek signifies weakness of mind, as when one is easily broken down (332) by injuries, and cannot bear... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 6:8

Verse 8 8.But ye do injury. Hence we see for what reason he has inveighed against them with so much bitterness — because there prevailed among them such a base desire of gain, that they did not even refrain from injuring one another. He premised a little before, with the view of exposing the magnitude of the evil, that those are not Christians who know not to endure injuries. There is, then, an amplification here, founded on a comparison: for if it is wrong not to bear injuries patiently, how... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 6:9

Verse 9 9.Know ye not, etc. By unrighteousness here you may understand what is opposed to strict integrity. Theunrighteous, then, that is, those who inflict injury on their brethren, who defraud or circumvent others, who, in short, are intent upon their own advantage at the expense of injuring others, will not inherit the kingdom of God That by the unrighteous here, as for example adulterers, and thieves and covetous, and revilers, he means those who do not repent of their sins, but obstinately... read more
