1 Corinthians 2:1
Christ Crucified
SUMMARY OF I CORINTHIANS 2: The One Theme of Preaching Christ
Crucified. Not Eloquence or Human Wisdom, but the Power of the
Spirit. Needed. A Divine Wisdom in the Cross of Christ. This Is a
Mystery Revealed to the Converted; Unseen by the. Unregenerate. The
Things of the Kingdom Not Understood by the Worldly. These Are
Revealed to Those Who Have the Spirit of God.
And I, brethren, when I came to you. Paul has shown, in the
preceding chapter, that God chose the things and persons which the
world calls foolish, and weak, and base, and of no account, in order to
confute the world's wisdom and to overthrow its power. He now shows
that this harmonizes with the means used at Corinth in the founding of
the church.
Came not with excellence of speech or of wisdom. Not with the
eloquent arts of a Grecian orator, or the speculations of a Greek
philosopher; things highly esteemed at Corinth and among all the
Greeks.
The testimony of God. The Revised Version has, "Mystery of God",
which has the support of the best MSS, and harmonizes better with the
context. The gospel is often called "a mystery" (Ephesians 3:9 1Ti 3:16).
