1 Corinthians 2:2 - Exposition

I determined. The unadorned simplicity of my teaching was part of a fixed design. Not to know anything. Not, that is, to depend on any human knowledge. Of course, St. Paul neither means to set aside all human knowledge nor to disparage other Christian doer, toes. His words must not be pressed out of their due context and proportion. Jesus Christ, and him crucified. Christ, in the lowest depth of his abasement and self sacrifice. He would "know" nothing else; that is, he would make this the central point and essence of all his knowledge, because he knew the "excellency" of this knowledge ( Philippians 3:8 )—knew it as the only knowledge which rose to the height of wisdom. Christ is the only Foundation ( 1 Corinthians 3:11 ). In the person and the work of Christ is involved the whole gospel.
