The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 3:10-15

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

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 3:9

For we are labourers together with God - Θεοῦ γάρ ἐσμεν συνεργοί Theou gar esmen sunergoi. We are God’s co-workers. A similar expression occurs in 2 Corinthians 6:1, “We then as workers together with him,” etc. This passage is capable of two significations: first, as in our translation, that they were co-workers with God; engaged with him in his work, that he and they cooperated in the production of the effect; or that it was a joint-work; as we speak of a partnercy, or of joint-effort... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 3:10

According to the grace of God - By the favor of God which is given to me. All that Paul had done had been by the mere favor of God. His appointment was from him; and all the skill which he had shown, and all the agency which he had employed, had been from him. The architectural figure is here continued with some striking additions and illustrations. By the “grace of God” here, Paul probably means his apostleship to the Gentiles, which had been conferred on him by the mere favor of God, and all... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 3:8-9

1 Corinthians 3:8-9. He that planteth and he that watereth are one United in affection, and engaged in one general design, the design of glorifying God in the salvation of souls, though their labours may be in some respect different: and hence, instead of being pleased, we are rather displeased and grieved with those invidious comparisons in favour of one against another. Our great concern is to please our common Lord, to whom we are shortly to give up our account; and from whom every... read more

According to the grace of God This he premises, lest he should seem to ascribe any thing to himself; as a wise master-builder A skilful architect, directed by divine wisdom; I have laid the foundation Jesus Christ and him crucified, a foundation sufficient to support the whole fabric of Christianity, with all its blessed effects: and another buildeth thereon Succeeding teachers bestow further labour for your instruction and edification.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 3:1-9

Lack of spiritual growth (3:1-9)When Paul was in Corinth a year or two previously, he could not speak to the believers as spiritual people (such as those just described in 2:6-16), because they were then little different from ordinary, natural people of the world. They were babes in Christ and Paul treated them so. He did not find fault with them then, because one expects new converts to be like that; but he does find fault with them now, because they are still like that (3:1-2). They are like... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 3:10-23

Christian activity tested (3:10-23)The Corinthians are likened also to a building. Paul laid the foundation, and now other Christians, in particular the teachers, have the responsibility to build on that foundation (10). There is only one foundation, Jesus Christ, but the structure may be built in all sorts of ways. People may build something of lasting worth through using valuable materials (gold, silver and precious stones), or they may build something of no lasting worth through using cheap... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - 1 Corinthians 3:9

we . i.e. Paul and Sosthenes. See 1 Corinthians 1:1 . labourers together with God = God's fellow-workers. The word "God" is in the genitive of possession ( App-17 ), as in the two other clauses of the verse. It is the Figure of speech Anaphora ( App-6 ), and the verse should read: "God's fellow-workers we are: God's husbandry, God's building, ye are. "Ministers are co-workers with one another, not with God, as though He were one of them. Were it so, "God" would be in the dative case. ... read more
