哥林多前书 2:8 RCUVSS

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 2:1-16

THE CAUSE AND CURE OF DISPUTES This epistle was written by Paul probably during the latter part of his long visit to Ephesus, and it will add interest to its study to re-read Acts 18-20, which speak of his visit to both cities, Ephesus and Corinth. The occasion for its writing, as given in 1 Corinthians 1:11 ; 1 Corinthians 7:1 , was a visit to Paul of a member “of the house of Chloe,” who brought a written communication to him as well as verbal reports of conditions in the church. These... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Corinthians 2:6-16

(6) Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to naught: (7) But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: (8) Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (9) But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man,... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 2:8

It appears from the gospel, that they suspected Jesus might be the Son of God; but the major part of interpreters judge from this text, that they had not a certain knowledge. (Bible de Vence) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 2:6-9

6-9 Those who receive the doctrine of Christ as Divine, and, having been enlightened by the Holy Spirit, have looked well into it, see not only the plain history of Christ, and him crucified, but the deep and admirable designs of Divine wisdom therein. It is the mystery made manifest to the saints, Colossians 1:26, though formerly hid from the heathen world; it was only shown in dark types and distant prophecies, but now is revealed and made known by the Spirit of God. Jesus Christ is the Lord... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 1 Corinthians 2:1-99

1Co 2 WHEN PAUL WAS commissioned to preach the Gospel he was instructed to do so in a way that would endorse the message he preached. This he stated in 1Co_1:17 .

The Gospel itself true wisdom: v. 6.

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Corinthians 2:6-16

God’s Wisdom Spiritually Revealed 1 Corinthians 2:6-16 The perfect are those who are full grown and matured in Christian experience. They need strong meat. For them there are blessed unveilings of the secret things of God, such as the profoundest thinkers of this world have never reached. The words in 1 Corinthians 2:9 must not be applied to heaven alone; in their first intention they belong to us in this mortal life. The human eye that has seen the fairest of earth’s things, and the ear... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 2:1-16

The apostle reminds the Corinthian Christians that when he first came to them he did not come with excellency of speech, or of wisdom, but with "the Word of the Cross." Yet there must be no foolish imagining that there is no wisdom, or that the Christian teacher has no deep and sublime subjects with which to deal. The apostle says, "We speak wisdom, however." And yet the wisdom was such as could be taught only among those who were full grown. Babes and feeble ones in Christ could not be led... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - 1 Corinthians 2:1-16

Paul the Preacher 1 Corinthians 2:1-16 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The Apostle, Paul, now is speaking of the kind of an entrance he had among the Corinthians. He had been very happy to move among them and preach Christ Now he is presenting to them his own ideals as a preacher.

Again he says, "For yourselves, brethren, know our... read more
