哥林多前書 10:26 RCUVTS

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - 1 Corinthians 10:23-33

1 Corinthians THE LIMITS OF LIBERTY 1Co_10:23 - 1Co_10:33 . This passage strikingly illustrates Paul’s constant habit of solving questions as to conduct by the largest principles. He did not keep his ‘theology’ and his ethics in separate water-tight compartments, having no communication with each other. The greatest truths were used to regulate the smallest duties. Like the star that guided the Magi, they burned high in the heavens, but yet directed to the house in Bethlehem. The question... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Corinthians 10:23-33

“Do All to the Glory of God” 1 Corinthians 10:23-33 ; 1 Corinthians 11:1 There seems to be a, clear distinction in the Apostle’s directions between feasting in an idol temple on the one hand, and the acceptance of an invitation to a private house, as in 1 Corinthians 10:25 ; 1 Corinthians 10:27 , on the other. The believer in Christ knew that an idol was nothing in itself, and the fact of food having been offered before a shrine did not make it better or worse. It was a common practice, and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:1-33

A great warning based on an illustration in Israel's history is contained in these words, "Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall." To this warning the apostle adds that there is no necessity for such falling, because the very temptations that come to man are under the divine control, and are limited to the capacity of the tempted, while out of them God always makes a way of escape. Carefully connect the opening injunction here with the closing declaration of the... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:25-26

'Whatever is sold in the shambles (meat market), eat, asking no question for conscience' sake, for the earth is the Lord's, and its fullness.' But having forbidden the eating of sacrificial meat in temples he now turns to the question of meat sold externally by temples to the meat markets, some of which might also have been sacrificed to idols. Must this then also be avoided in case it had been sacrificed to idols? Pious Jews were in fact expected to ask whether such meat had been sacrificed to... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:23-33

1 Corinthians 10:23 to 1 Corinthians 11:1 . From the meal in the idol’ s temple Paul passes to the question as it arose in daily life. He repeats that while all might be lawful all was not expedient ( 1 Corinthians 6:12) or tended to edify. Each must study his brother’ s interest rather than his own. What was exposed for sale in the meat market might be freely bought without question as to its antecedents, for it belonged to God. If they accepted a heathen’ s invitation (Paul does not... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:26

This sentence is taken out of Psalms 24:1. The earth is God’s, or the Lord Christ’s, who hath sanctified all things for the use of man, and all the variety of creatures that are in it are sanctified by him. An idol cannot pollute any kind of meat, it hath no such malign influence upon any thing; you may pollute yourselves by your action, eating it in the idol’s temple, at an idolater’s feast immediately upon his sacrifice, but the idol itself is no operative thing, nor can cause an ill quality... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Corinthians 10:1-33

CRITICAL NOTES1 Corinthians 10:1.—Notice “for,” true reading, connecting closely with ix. ult. Q.d. “I am not secure from becoming a ‘castaway’; you are not yet sure of the prize; for it is ever a law of God’s people and their life,” etc. I would not … ignorant.—Found (with slight variation) in Romans 1:13; Romans 11:25; 1 Corinthians 12:1; 2 Corinthians 1:8; 1 Thessalonians 4:13. Add (for the thought) 2 Corinthians 8:1. He is a “steward of the mystery,” and is anxious to get what is entrusted... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 10:1-33

Chapter 10Moreover, brethren, I would not that you should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and passed through the sea ( 1 Corinthians 10:1 );Now he is talking about their forefathers who were delivered out of Egypt. God used the cloud to guide them by day and the pillar of fire by night. The cloud had more than just a guiding. They were under the cloud. They were going to be spending time in that hot desert, and so what did God do? He put a cloud over them that... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 10:1-33

1 Corinthians 10:1 . I would not have you ignorant of the grand point, the foundation of the Hebrew religion; that our fathers, for such was the usual language of the jews and proselytes respecting the Israelites, were under the cloud, the symbol of Jehovah’s presence, and the visible token of covenant favour and protection. And this cloud distinguished them from all other nations. 1 Corinthians 10:2-4 . And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea. He initiated them... read more
