1 Corintios 9:1-19 NVI

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Corinthians 9:15

But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.It were better for me to die than — To give occasion to them that seek occasion against me, 2 Corinthians 11:12. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Corinthians 9:17

For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.Willingly — He seems to mean, without receiving anything. St. Paul here speaks in a manner peculiar to himself. Another might have preached willingly, and yet have received a maintenance from the Corinthians. But if he had received anything from them, he would have termed it preaching unwillingly. And so, in the next verse, another might have used that power without... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Corinthians 9:18

What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.What then is my reward — That circumstance in my conduct for which I expect a peculiar reward from my great Master? That I abuse not - Make not an unseasonable use of my power which I have in preaching the gospel. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Corinthians 9:19

For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.I made myself the servant of all — I acted with as self-denying a regard to their interest, and as much caution not to offend them, as if I had been literally their servant or slave. Where is the preacher of the gospel who treads in the same steps? read more

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

1. Assertion of his apostolical right and prerogative, 1 Corinthians 9:1-6. 1. Am I not free? By the best readings this question stands first, and forms the hinge from the previous topic to what follows. Do I thus subject myself to privation for others, even of food, because I am not truly a free man like yourselves? Nay, more, am I not an apostle? And so entitled to the apostle’s maintenance, which I decline to receive? And as his apostleship is questioned, he adds a running... read more

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

PAUL’S FIFTH RESPONSE: TO THE QUESTION AFFECTING HIS APOSTOLICITY, 1 Corinthians 9:1 to 1 Corinthians 10:13 The intense purpose of sacrificing his own rights in regard to eating meat, expressed so vividly in the last chapter, (see note on the closing verse,) suggests to St. Paul a parallel sacrifice of his own apostolic rights which he had thus far practiced through his whole mission. Fully maintaining the right of an apostle to be maintained by the Church, he had abdicated that right in his... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 9:2

2. I am to you A direct argumentum ad homines. Whoever else could gracefully question his apostleship the Corinthians could not. If they were true Christians, he was a true apostle. Seal A seal on a document is a voucher for its genuineness and validity. The Corinthians converted by Paul, and their Church by him founded, were as a confirmatory seal upon his apostolic diploma. In the Lord Note on Romans 9:1. Christ is the very embodiment of spiritual Christianity, and whoever is deeply... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 9:3

3. Them that do examine me A judicial term, and may be rendered, my triers. It alludes to a class of Corinthian detractors who are brought into the foreground, and more fully answered in the second epistle. This Followed by a period, and properly referring to the answer just given, not to what follows. His answer as to the validity of his apostleship is now complete. What follows is to assert that he is free. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 9:4

4. Power Rightful authority. The change from the I of the previous verses to the we of this doubtless anticipates the mention of Barnabas, 1 Corinthians 9:6, as included in the question. Eat… drink Of the contributions of the Church. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 9:5

5. Lead about Implying an itinerancy, not a settled pastorate. A sister, a wife A sister of the Church, who is a wife of the apostle. The English version gives the exact verbal Greek, except that the latter word may signify either wife or woman. That here, however, the word does not mean woman is plain, for a sister is of course a woman, and the latter word would be superfluous. If sister express a relation, so must the latter term. Dr. Wordsworth, however, renders it, as... read more
