Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 12:1-3

1 Corinthians 12:1-Leviticus : . He begins by distinguishing true gifts of the Spirit from their counterfeit. Unhappily 1 Corinthians 12:2 is far from clear, and the text is perhaps corrupt. Paul may appeal to their experience of ecstasy in their heathen condition. You will remember how completely you were under control of the demon, you were a mere voice through which he spoke. So it is with him who speaks in the Spirit. He has no volition, and we can thus argue from the utterance to the... read more

Ye know that ye were Gentiles; so they were still in respect of their birth and country; but he speaketh with reference to their religion and way of worship. Carried away unto these dumb idols; carried away by your idol priests, and by the examples of your friends and neighbours, to idols, which, though they seem to you to speak, and to tell you of things to come, yet indeed have mouths and speak not, only the devil spake from them. Even as ye were led; wherein you acted not under the conduct... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Corinthians 12:1-31

CRITICAL NOTES1 Corinthians 12:1.—Gifts is a translators’ supplement; right in fact, as 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 show; slightly too precise in word. Almost certainly neuter, and so very general, “spiritual things.” Another of the topics laid before Paul for his discussion and guiding instructions.1 Corinthians 12:2. Dumb.—In contrast with the “tongues,” which were, in the mind of the Corinthians, the most striking and choice charism of the Spirit; denying also to the idol, and attributing... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 12:1-31

Now concerning the spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you be ignorant ( 1 Corinthians 12:1 ).An interesting statement of Paul, because I think that in the church one of the areas where the greatest ignorance does exist today is in the area of spiritual gifts, and their operation within the church. And this ignorance is on both sides of the fence.Within the Pentecostal churches there is a lot of abuse of the gifts of the Spirit, because people are ignorant of their true operation within... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 12:1-31

1 Corinthians 12:1-2 . Now concerning spiritual gifts, and gifts promised to old men, to young men, and to handmaids, according to Joel 2:28, I would now speak, in the third part of this epistle, and apprise you that those endowments are altogether divine, and are the emanations of celestial glory; the adornings of God our Saviour, peculiar to the christian church. Proofs demonstrative of the divine authority of our religion. While you bowed before dumb idols, all around you were the... read more

1 Corinthians 12:1-31Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.Spiritual giftsThe particular gifts to which St. Paul was referring were not exactly as a whole like anything that is to be witnessed in the Church now. They produced effects which challenged the attention of the eye and the ear, and were calculated to fire the imagination. St. Paul mentions nine of these gifts. Of these the word of knowledge, the word of wisdom and prophecy, were such as might be found... read more

2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. Ver. 2. Even as ye were led ] It is the misery of a natural man that hath not his heart stablished with grace, to be carried away as he is led, to be wherried about with every wind of doctrine, to have no mould but what the next seducer casteth him into; being blown like a glass into this or that shape, at the pleasure of his breath. read more

Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.Ye were heathens — Therefore, whatever gifts ye have received, it is from the free grace of God.Carried away — By a blind credulity.After dumb idols — The blind to the dumb; idols of wood and stone, unable to speak themselves, and much more to open your mouths, as God has done.As ye were led — By the subtlety of your priests. read more
