1 Corinthians 1:1-8

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 1:7-8

1 Corinthians 1:7-8 Waiting for Christ. I. St. Paul had found the Corinthians in great darkness of mind, worshipping many different gods, of whom they had different fancies and notions, worshipping the goddess of Pleasure above all.

Scofield's Reference Notes - 1 Corinthians 1:7

coming Three words are used in connection with the return of the Lord: (1) Parousia, "personal presence," also used by Paul of the "coming" of Stephanas 1 Corinthians 16:17 of Titus 2 Corinthians 7:6; 2 Corinthians 7:7 and of his own "coming" to Philippi Philippians 1:26.

A.V. has "day of Christ," 2 Thessalonians 2:2 incorrectly, for "day of the Lord" ; Isaiah 2:12; Revelation 19:11-21 The "day of Christ" relates wholly to the reward and blessing of saints at his coming, as "day of the Lord" is connected with judgment. read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 1:1-31

1 Corinthians 1:1-2 . Paul, called to be an apostle. It was proper to mention this, else he would have had no title to address his letter to the Corinthians, and the catholic church, or saints in general, who in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Calling upon the name of the Lord is expressive of the supreme worship presented to Jehovah by the Hebrew church. Christians therefore, in their prayers and hymns to the Θειοτης , Divinity or Godhead, which in all its... read more
