Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 1:19

Paul’s quotation of Isaiah 29:14 shows that it has always been God’s method to expose the folly of merely human wisdom. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 1:20

The first three questions in this verse recall similar questions that Isaiah voiced when the Assyrians’ plans to destroy Jerusalem fell through (Isaiah 33:18; cf. Job 12:17; Isaiah 19:12). Paul’s references to the age (Gr. aion) and the world (kosmos) clarify that he was speaking of purely natural wisdom in contrast to the wisdom that God has revealed. God’s wisdom centers on the Cross."In first-century Corinth, ’wisdom’ was not understood to be practical skill in living under the fear of the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 1:21

Human reasoning ("wisdom") does not enable people to get to know God nor does it deliver them from their sins. These benefits come only through the "foolishness" (in the eyes of the natural man) of the message preached (Gr. kerygma), namely, the gospel. [Note: See Larry J. Waters, "Paradoxes in the Pauline Epistles," Bibliotheca Sacra 167:668 (October-December 2010):430-35.] The true estimation of things, therefore, is that human reasoning is folly.Paul was not saying that all the wisdom that... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 1:22

The Jews characteristically asked for signs as demonstrations of God’s power (cf. Matthew 16:1-4; Mark 8:11-12; John 2:18). In contrast, the message of the Cross seemed to be a demonstration of weakness, specifically, Jesus’ inability to save Himself from death.Likewise the Greeks typically respected wisdom, an explanation of things that was reasonable and made sense. However the message of the Cross did not appear to make sense. How could anyone believe in and submit to One who was apparently... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 1:23

A crucified Messiah was a stumbling block to the Jews because they regarded Messiah as the Person on whom God’s blessing rested to the greatest degree (Isaiah 11:2). However, Jesus’ executioners hung Him on a tree, the sure proof that God had cursed Him (Deuteronomy 21:23; Galatians 3:13).Paul used the terms "Greeks" (1 Corinthians 1:22) and "Gentiles" (1 Corinthians 1:23) interchangeably."It is hard for those in the christianized West, where the cross for almost nineteen centuries has been the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 1:24

The "called" contrast with the unsaved among both Jews and Gentiles (1 Corinthians 1:2; Romans 8:28; Romans 8:30). Christ is the instrument of God’s power in conquering the forces of evil and delivering people from their control. Moreover He is the instrument of God’s wisdom in solving the problem human reasoning could not unravel, namely, how people can know God and come to God. The wisdom literature of the Old Testament personified wisdom as God’s agent in revelation, creation, and... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 1:25

The "foolishness" of God, the gospel of the Cross, is wiser than human wisdom, and the "weakness" of God, in the eyes of unbelievers, is stronger than human strength.At the moment, books are pouring off the presses telling us how to plan for success, how ’vision’ consists in clearly articulated ’ministry goals,’ how the knowledge of detailed profiles of our communities constitutes the key to successful outreach. I am not for a moment suggesting that there is nothing to be learned from such... read more

1:5 word (c-12) Logos , whatever is the expression of a thought formed in the mind, and otherwise unknown; hence used for the thing expressed , or the expression of it. hence 'word.' Here it is the communication of the mind of God in the gospel of Christ. (See ch. 2.1.) I retain 'word' in the expression 'all word, and all knowledge,' adding 'of doctrine' in brackets, because 'in all word' is scarcely English, and the 'word of doctrine' is, I believe, the sense here. 'Utterance' gives the... read more
