Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Corinthians 3:16-23

(16) Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? (17) If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. (18) 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. (19) For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. (20) And again, The Lord knoweth the... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 3:18-21

Let no man deceive himself. He next precautions them against themselves, and admonishes them to be upon their guard against curiosity, presumption, and self-love, and tells them to undervalue all other sciences, when put in competition with the science of salvation, the knowledge of the gospel. It hence appears, that some of the Corinthians were renowned for that human eloquence which the world so much esteems, and accordingly the apostle discovers to them the danger to which they are exposing... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 3:18-23

18-23 To have a high opinion of our own wisdom, is but to flatter ourselves; and self-flattery is the next step to self-deceit. The wisdom that wordly men esteem, is foolishness with God. How justly does he despise, and how easily can he baffle and confound it! The thoughts of the wisest men in the world, have vanity, weakness, and folly in them. All this should teach us to be humble, and make us willing to be taught of God, so as not to be led away, by pretences to human wisdom and skill, from... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 1 Corinthians 3:1-99

1Co 3 IN THE OPENING verses of chapter 3, the Apostle brings the Corinthians face to face with their true condition in very plain words. Enriched as they were “in all utterance, and in all knowledge,” they may have imagined themselves to be worthy of high commendation. In point of fact they came under definite censure. They were not spiritual but carnal. They were not natural, for “the natural man” is man in his unconverted condition. Nor were they spiritual, for the spiritual man is man... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Corinthians 3:16-20

Every Christian a temple of God: v. 16. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? v. 17. If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. v. 18. 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. v. 19. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Corinthians 3:10-23

Build on the Sure Foundation 1 Corinthians 3:10-23 We are called upon to contribute our share to the building of saved souls which is rising through the ages, to be an habitation of God through the Spirit, Ephesians 2:21-22 . But in addition, we must not neglect the building of our own character on the one foundation, which is Jesus Christ. God has placed Him to be the foundation of every structure which shall stand firm in all the tests of fire through which we are destined to pass. We must... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 3:1-23

The reason for the schisms was that these people were carnal. "Jealousy and strife" are evidences of carnality. Proceeding, Paul declared the true value of the Christian ministry. "For we are God's fellow-workers." The sublimity of their work is evidenced by the fact that they are co-operating with God. The foundation of the building is Jesus Christ. On that great foundation other men are building. Some of the work is precious and permanent, of the nature of gold, silver, costly stones. It may... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - 1 Corinthians 3:1-23

The Carnal and Spiritual Christian 1 Corinthians 3:1-23 INTRODUCTORY WORDS In our last study, we were discussing two kinds of people. One, the unregenerate who had not the Spirit, and the other, the regenerate to whom God had given the Spirit. In this study we will discuss two kinds of Christians. One is the carnal Christian. The other is the spiritual. One is a babe in Christ; the other is full-grown in Christ. By way of introduction, there are some salient things to consider. 1. The... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 3:1-23

Christ Crucified For Us And The New Birth Through the Spirit Are the Two Central Foundations of Christianity (1:10-4:21). Paul begins this section by revealing his concern that the Corinthians are in danger of splitting up into different parties around the teaching of certain leading teachers (1 Corinthians 1:10-17), and concentrating on secondary aspects of that teaching, rather than being united around the one central truth of Christ crucified, the one fact which is central to the Christian... read more
