Scofield's Reference Notes - 1 Corinthians 3:14

reward God, in the N.T. Scriptures, offers to the lost, salvation, and, for the faithful service of the saved, rewards. The passages are easily distinguished by remembering that salvation is invariably spoken of as a free gift (e.g.) John 4:10; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8; Ephesians 2:9 while rewards are earned by works ; Matthew 10:42; Luke 19:17; 1 Corinthians 9:24; 1 Corinthians 9:25; 2 Timothy 4:7; 2 Timothy 4:8; Revelation 2:10; Revelation 22:12.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 3:1-23

Let's turn now to I Corinthians, chapter 3.Beginning with the fourteenth verse of chapter 2, Paul here separates men into three classifications. Starting in chapter 2 with the natural man, the unregenerate man, the man who knows not Jesus Christ. And concerning him, he said, "He cannot receive the things of the Spirit of God for they are foolishness unto him, neither can he know them for they are spiritually discerned." So the natural man in darkness, not able to see, not able to know the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 3:1-23

1 Corinthians 3:1-2 . Babes in Christ, like children at the breast, requiring to be fed with milk, and not with meat. Our great tutor here addresses the Corinthians in a superior style of eloquence, to make them ashamed of their folly, being yet like children, crying and debating in parties, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos. 1 Corinthians 3:6-8 .

1 Corinthians 3:1-12And I… could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal … babes in Christ.Incapacity in hearersI. That the ignorance and sinfulness of a people are a just cause why faithful and wise ministers of the Word do not sometimes preach of the more sublime and excellent points in Christianity. Paul desired not only to lay a good foundation, but also to build an excellent superstructure, but the ignorance of his hearers restrained him. Even as the husbandman does not... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - 1 Corinthians 3:4-8

1 Corinthians 3:4-8For while one saith, I am of Paul … are ye not carnal? The carnality of ChurchismsIn the Church at Corinth there was a variety of elements; the Roman democratic independent in thought and action; the Greek--cultured, philosophic, and aesthetic; the Jewish--craving for signs and wonders. Here consequently there was diversity of thought, and discussions which would lead to divisions. The Corinthian Christians, therefore, instead of being united by having Christ as the supreme... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - 1 Corinthians 3:9

1 Corinthians 3:9For we are labourers together with God. Labourers together with GodI. The immediate application of the text.1. Believers though they were, Paul could not address the Corinthians as spiritual persons, for they moved in the lower, earthly region of man’s nature, where strife and division have place, and into which it was impossible to introduce exalted subjects.2. He then proceeds to show on what a mistake this party feeling proceeded. The different teachers were but humble... read more
