Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 9:23

4. These various self-denials are undergone for an eternal future prize, 1 Corinthians 9:23-27. 23. Partaker thereof Partaker, that is, of the gospel, embracing therein all the blessings, temporal or eternal, in the included gospel. Note on 1 Corinthians 9:18. This gospel includes the prize of 1 Corinthians 9:24, the incorruptible crown of 1 Corinthians 9:25. You In italics; it is not in the Greek.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 9:24

24. Know ye not They had abundant chance to know, from the exhibitions at the Isthmian stadium, near their city. A race Here, for the first time in the New Testament, occurs an allusion to the ancient games. They are mentioned neither in the gospels nor in the Old Testament. The solemn Hebrews never practised them; and when introduced, with theatres and other spectacles by the Herodian family, they were the abhorrence of all earnest Jews. In the days of his bigoted Judaism Paul would,... read more

25. Every man that striveth Every agonistes, or champion. Is temperate Is self-controlling. Then, as now, the candidate for the race put himself under a long and severe training, in diet, in potations, in exercise, in order to tone himself up to the highest vigour.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 9:27

27. I keep under Viewing his body as ready, with its fleshly appetites, (the reverse of the temperate of 1 Corinthians 9:25,) to break the certainty and surety of his running, he beat it to discoloration. Note on Luke 18:5, where the same Greek word is used in a slightly different sense. The term is a pugilistic one; literally, to black-eye one. Paul refers not, as the Romanists pervert the word, to any bodily flagellation, any more than beateth the air refers to a muscular blow. Nor,... read more
