Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 2:1-16

Chapter 2And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God ( 1 Corinthians 2:1 ).Paul didn't come as one of the Corinthian philosophers, trying to stand in the streets and persuade them by the brilliant oratory to believe and to accept Jesus Christ. I wonder where the place of oratory is in the pulpit. It's interesting how that we so often admire the great orators in the pulpit. But I often wonder if oratory has any... read more

1 Corinthians 2:2 . I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ and him crucified. That is, to know him in the glory of his person, as revealed in the oracles of truth. “I and the Father are one,” says our blessed Lord; having unity of essence, and harmony of will. To know him in his mysterious incarnation, as the WORD made flesh, John 1:14; and to know him as crucified for us. Leviticus 16:0. Isaiah 53:0. Hebrews 9:0. The tragic cross is the school of angels, and the... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 2:14

14. The natural man The secular or worldly man, who possesses only the worldly “understanding that judges only by sense” and time. See note on 1 Corinthians 3:1. The word natural or psychical, derived from ψυχη , psyche, (soul,) seems to presuppose the threefold division of man into body, soul, and spirit. In that division the spirit is the highest nature of man, in which he bears the nearest affinity to God, by which he is a moral, conscientious, or religious being; while the soul... read more
