Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 3:1-4

4. The immature and carnal conditions 3:1-4The apostle proceeded to tell the Corinthians that they had not been viewing things from the spiritual point of view. He was referring specifically to their exaltation of one or another of God’s servants above the others (1 Corinthians 1:10-17). Paul urgently appealed to them to change. read more

Darby's Synopsis of the New Testament - 1 Corinthians 3:1

3:1 fleshly; (i-18) Sarkinos . as Romans 7:14 ; Hebrews 7:16 ; 2 Corinthians 3:3 . This word is said to mean properly the material -- the composition of a thing. 'Carnal,' twice in verse 3, is sarkinos , a form used, in some places, to express either material or physical or moral ideas. It occurs also in Romans 15:27 ; 1 Corinthians 9:11 ; 2 Corinthians 1:12 ; 2 Corinthians 10:4 ; 1 Peter 2:11 . This last passage, 'fleshly lusts,' shows how the material and moral thoughts run into one... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 3:1-23

The Fault of Party SpiritThe immaturity of the Corinthian converts and their unfitness for anything but elementary instruction in the faith is proved by their mutual jealousies and their disagreements about their teachers.1-9. Paraphrase. ’Te yourselves, brethren, are an illustration of what I say. (2) I have treated you as beginners and given you elementary Christian teaching, for hitherto you have been unfit for any other. (3, 4) You are still but immature Christians, as the strife and... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Corinthians 3:1

III.(1) And I.—Again, as in 1 Corinthians 2:6, the Apostle shows how general principles which he has just explained were exemplified in his own conduct. In the closing verses of 1 Corinthians 2:0 St. Paul has enunciated the general method of teaching spiritual truth as being dependent upon the receptive powers of those who are being taught. He now proceeds to point out to them that their own character, as being wanting in spirituality, was the real hindrance to his teaching them the higher... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 3:1-2

6Chapter 5DIVINE WISDOMIN the preceding paragraph Paul has explained why he had proclaimed the bare facts regarding Christ and His crucifixion and trusted to the Cross itself to impress the Corinthians and lead them to God, and why he had resisted the temptation to appeal to the Corinthian taste for rhetoric and philosophy by exhibiting Christianity as a philosophy. He believed that where conversion was the object of preaching no method could compare in efficiency with the simple presentation... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 3:1-23

Chapter 6GOD’S HUSBANDRY AND BUILDINGPAUL having abundantly justified his method of preaching to the Corinthians, and having shown why he contented himself with the simple presentation of the Cross, resumes his direct rebuke of their party spirit. He has told them that they were as yet unfit to bear the "wisdom" which he taught in some Churches, and the very proof of their immaturity is to be found in their partisanship. "While one saith, I am of Paul, and another, I am of Apollos, are ye not... read more

CHAPTER 3 1. The Carnal state of the Corinthians. (1 Corinthians 3:1-9 ). 2. The Workmen and their Work. (1 Corinthians 3:10-15 ). 3. The Church the Temple of God. (1 Corinthians 3:16-17 ). 4. Warning against Deception and Glorying in Men. (1 Corinthians 3:18-23 ). Their condition is next uncovered. They did not depend on the Spirit of God and did not enjoy the hidden wisdom and walk in it. They were carnal, mere babes in Christ, in the sense that their growth, their spiritual development... read more

Geneva Study Bible - 1 Corinthians 3:1

3:1 And {1} I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto {a} carnal, [even] as unto babes in Christ.(1) Having declared the worthiness of heavenly wisdom, and of the Gospel, and having generally condemned the blindness of man’s mind, now at length he applies it particularly to the Corinthians, calling them carnal, that is, those in whom the flesh still prevails against the Spirit. And he brings a twofold testimony of it: first, because he had proved them to be such, in... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 3:1-23

But in practical experience the Corinthians were not properly regarding, nor depending on, the wisdom of the Spirit of God, who had been given to them. Paul could not write to them as spiritual, but as unto "carnal," or "fleshly," or as unto "babes in Christ." Actually they were not babes, but were as babes, a matter of shame, for this was not normal. When they ought to have been able to digest solid food, Paul had found it necessary still to feed them with milk, the most elementary truths of... read more
