哥林多前書 3:13 CUNPTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Corinthians 3:11-15

Here the apostle informs us what foundation he had laid at the bottom of all his labours among them?even Jesus Christ, the chief corner-stone, Eph. 2:20. Upon this foundation all the faithful ministers of Christ build. Upon this rock all the Christians found their hopes. Those that build their hopes of heaven on any other foundation build upon the sand. Other foundation can no man lay besides what is laid?even Jesus Christ. Note, The doctrine of our Saviour and his mediation is the principal... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - 1 Corinthians 3:10-15

3:10-15 According to the grace of God that was given to me, I laid the foundation like a skilled master-builder, but another builds upon it. Let each see to it how he builds upon it; for no one can lay any other foundation beside that which is already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds upon that foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, straw, stubble, it will become quite clear what each man's work is. The Day will show it because it is going to be revealed by fire, and the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 3:13

Every man's work shall be made manifest ,.... The doctrine he preaches shall be sooner or later made manifest to himself, and to his hearers; who shall see the inconsistency, irregularity, and deformity of such a building; at first so well laid, then piled up with such excellent materials, and at last covered in with such trifling or incoherent stuff: for the day shall declare it ; meaning not the day of judgment, though that is often called the day, or that day, and will be attended... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 3:13

The day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire - There is much difference of opinion relative to the meaning of the terms in this and the two following verses. That the apostle refers to the approaching destruction of Jerusalem I think very probable; and when this is considered, all the terms and metaphors will appear clear and consistent. The day is the time of punishment coming on this disobedient and rebellious people. And this day being revealed by fire, points out the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 3:13

Verse 13 13.For the day will declare it In the old translation it is the day of the Lord, (179) but it is probable that the words of the Lord were added by some one by way of explanation. The meaning unquestionably is complete without that addition. For with propriety we give the name of day to the time when darkness and obscurity are dispelled, and the truth is brought to light. Hence the Apostle forewarns us, that it cannot always remain a secret who have acted fraudulently in the work of the... read more

The true foundation of character. "According to the grace of God," etc. The words suggest certain important thoughts concerning character. I. That there is an ANALOGY BETWEEN THE FORMATION OF CHARACTER AND THE ERECTION OF A BUILDING . "If any man build," etc. It is like a building in three respects. 1. In the variety of its materials. Buildings are generally formed of a variety of materials—stone, wood, iron, etc. Moral character is built up by a variety of... read more

Christian work and its testing. I. CHRISTIAN WORK : 1. Should be rightly based. Christ is the only Foundation for the spiritual building. This Foundation may have been already laid for us by others where we are called to labour: if so, we must see that we are building upon it; if it be not laid, by "the grace of God" ( 1 Corinthians 3:10 ) we must seek to lay it without delay. All our teaching must rest upon Christ. He is not only the Omega to be ended with, but the Alpha to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 3:10-15

The Foundation and the superstructure. Under the figure of a building, the apostle continues to speak of the work of Christ's ministers, and specially of his own labours at Corinth. As the first to preach the gospel there, he had laid the foundation, upon which the teachers that succeeded him were to build. The reference is primarily to doctrine, but the principles apply to work and life as well. I. THE FOUNDATION . This is Jesus Christ the Mediator ( Isaiah 28:16 ; 1 Peter 2:6 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 3:11-15

Workmen and their works. St. Paul affirms that he had laid just such a foundation in Corinth as became a wise master builder. Like a good architect, he had made sure of a solid basis, but had the edifice in process of erection been true to the cornerstone? There was but one Foundation—Jesus Christ—and a man might build rightly or wrongly on it in the materials used. The range of substances which might be employed in the superstructure was large. Large it must needs be, for, it' the... read more
