Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 3:18-19

‘Let no man deceive himself. If any man thinks that he is wise among you in this world (or ‘age’), let him become a fool that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.’ Paul comes back to what has been his theme all along. The need to recognise the wisdom of God, that is, to recognise in Christ crucified the wisdom of God which must be central in all they teach (1 Corinthians 1:30), and not to be taken up with the wisdom of the world. There is to be no doubt... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 3:19-20

‘For it is written.’ Paul now establishes his position from Scripture. This is not just an afterthought. He has been leading up to this. What he has been saying is in fact what the Scripture, God’s revealed word to man, itself says, and that is that man’s wisdom can only get him into trouble when he is thinking and talking about God. Compare the commencement of this whole argument in 1 Corinthians 1:18-25. There too he began with ‘it is written’ (1 Corinthians 1:19) and referred to this age and... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 3:18-23

1 Corinthians 3:18-Isaiah : . It is a False Wisdom that Pits one Leader against Another: All are Yours.— Paul warns against the self-deception which causes a man to overrate his own judgment. Better renounce his worldly wisdom, which God counts foolishness that he may become really wise. As Scripture says, God grips fast the wise in their cleverness ( Job 5:13), and He knows the emptiness of their thoughts ( Psalms 94:11, Paul substitutes “ the wise” for “ men” ). So let none boast that he... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 3:19

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; God accounteth that folly which the world calleth wisdom, and indeed it is so (for God cannot err, nor be mistaken in his judgment): the philosophers and wise men of the world propose the happiness of man as their end, which indeed is the true end which all men aim at, and do propound to themselves; true wisdom directeth the best means in order to the best end. Whatsoever directeth not to the best end, or to what is not the best means in... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Corinthians 3:16-20

CRITICAL NOTES1 Corinthians 3:16.—A temple (R.V.) misses, or denies, the typology binding Old Testament and New Testament together here. A case where, as often (e.g. 1 Corinthians 11:20), one of the great leading facts of the Old Covenant is divested of its temporary, local robing and embodiment, and brought forward into the new world of the New Testament, to find a new embodiment in the Church. The old building has gone; the new shrine where God dwells on earth is growing, rising, every day. A... read more

1 Corinthians 3:18-19 The Self-wise Inquirer. Let us inquire what is the vain wisdom of the world, and then we shall the better see how it leads men astray. I. Now, when it is said that to trust our own notions is a wrong thing and a vain wisdom, of course this is not meant of all our notions whatever; for we must trust our own notions in one shape or other, and some notions which we form are right and true. The notions which we may trust without blame are such as come to us by way of our... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 3:1-23

Let's turn now to I Corinthians, chapter 3.Beginning with the fourteenth verse of chapter 2, Paul here separates men into three classifications. Starting in chapter 2 with the natural man, the unregenerate man, the man who knows not Jesus Christ. And concerning him, he said, "He cannot receive the things of the Spirit of God for they are foolishness unto him, neither can he know them for they are spiritually discerned." So the natural man in darkness, not able to see, not able to know the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 3:1-23

1 Corinthians 3:1-2 . Babes in Christ, like children at the breast, requiring to be fed with milk, and not with meat. Our great tutor here addresses the Corinthians in a superior style of eloquence, to make them ashamed of their folly, being yet like children, crying and debating in parties, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos. 1 Corinthians 3:6-8 . I have planted, Apollos watered. Here again we see the great and noble mind of this apostle. He detracts nothing from the real excellence of... read more

1 Corinthians 3:16-23Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? The two templesTwo points comprehend the apostle’s teaching in this chapter.1. The foundation of Christian life and doctrine (1 Corinthians 3:11).2. The form of Christian life and doctrine built thereon. It is to be worthy of the foundation (1Co 3:10; 1 Corinthians 3:12, &c.). Christian teachers have a covenant engagement--to erect a temple on a previously laid foundation. According... read more
