Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 8:13

'Wherefore, if meat causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no flesh for evermore, in order that I do not cause my brother to stumble.' Paul's conclusion is therefore that he himself would do nothing that might make another stumble. If his eating of meat would cause another to stumble he will never eat of it for evermore. He would do anything rather than make another stumble, for whatever reason. Thus should we also have concern for the weaknesses of the weak, pandering to them so that they... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 8:1-13

1 Corinthians 8. Let Those who Have Knowledge Control its Exercise by Love, lest they Ruin their Brother for whom Christ Died.— Paul begins with a quotation from the church letter. They claim that all have knowledge. Yes, but knowledge makes men conceited, love develops and consolidates them. They who fancy that they know have no right knowledge: he who loves God is known by God, a better knowledge than any of his own. However, all are aware that no idol has any real existence and that there... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 8:13

If meat make my brother to offend; suppose therefore it were lawful for me to eat flesh offered to idols, yet if I cannot do it but I shall make my brother sin, I will forbear. Others understand it more generally, not of the meat before mentioned, but of all flesh: I will rather live upon bread and herbs; by which expression the apostle doth not suppose, that there can ever be such a case when there shall be any such need, but only declares how much a good Christian should do, to prevent his... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Corinthians 8:1-13

CRITICAL NOTESN.B. 1.—See the question discussed in this chapter homiletically treated under 1 Corinthians 6:12.N.B. 2.—Note how Paul here (as in Romans 14:15.) bases nothing of his reply to the Corinthian questions upon the decree of Acts 15:0, though dealing so directly in this Epistle with two of its points—fornication and things offered to idols. He is dealing—as Stanley points out—not with the Cephas, the Jewish party in the Church, but with the (self-styled) party of Paul and Apollos;... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 8:1-13

Chapter 8Now, the second issue:Now as touching the things offered unto idols, we know that we have all knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up ( 1 Corinthians 8:1 ).A contrast between knowledge and love. We know we have all knowledge. Now, there was a problem in those days, because idolatry was so prevalent, most of the meat that you would buy in the marketplace had first a portion of it been offered unto the idols, the pagan gods. When they would butcher their meat they would take... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 8:1-13

1 Corinthians 8:4 . We know that an idol is nothing. St. Paul transcribes this from Habakkuk 2:18, where the Hebrew text is literally “dumb nothings,” for dumb idols; a phrase used by the Gnostics. 1 Corinthians 8:6 . But to us, One God, the Father, possessing the Son in the beginning of his way. Proverbs 8:22. Joh 1:18 . From whom the Comforter proceeds, “in glory equal, in majesty coëternal.” The Father is the fountain of deity. To him no paternity can be added, no filiation to the... read more

1 Corinthians 8:1-13How as touching things offered to idols. Liberty and love1. The question about meats necessarily arose in a society partly heathen and partly Christian. Every meal was dedicated to the household gods by laying some portion of it on the family altar. On a birthday, a marriage, or a safe return from sea, &c., it was customary to sacrifice in some public temple. And after the legs of the victim, enclosed in fat, and the entrails had been burnt on the altar, the worshipper... read more

1 Corinthians 8:11-13And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? Suffering, the measure of worthI. The “weak brother” is not of much value in himself; but he is made valuable by the fact that Christ died for him.1. How much of themselves men will give for one another, measures the worth in which that other is held. “I love you,” may mean only “you are my plaything,” or “I love myself”; but true love will give up for another’s sake time and convenience. It will... read more
