1 Korintus 1:17

1:17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel – and not with clever speech, so that the cross of Christ would not become useless. ¹ 

1 Korintus 1:20

1:20 Where is the wise man? Where is the expert in the Mosaic law? ²  Where is the debater of this age? Has God not made the wisdom of the world foolish?

1 Korintus 1:28

1:28 God chose ³  what is low and despised in the world, what is regarded as nothing, to set aside what is regarded as something,

1 Korintus 2:7

2:7 Instead we speak the wisdom of God, hidden in a mystery, that God determined before the ages for our glory.

1 Korintus 2:10

2:10 God has revealed these to us by the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

1 Korintus 3:5

3:5 What is Apollos, really? Or what is Paul? Servants through whom you came to believe, and each of us in the ministry the Lord gave us. ⁴ 

1 Korintus 3:19

3:19 For the wisdom of this age is foolishness with God. As it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness.” ⁵ 

1 Korintus 4:7

4:7 For who concedes you any superiority? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you received it, why do you boast as though you did not?

1 Korintus 4:9

4:9 For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to die, because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to people.

1 Korintus 4:19

1 Korintus 6:16

1 Korintus 7:29

7:29 And I say this, brothers and sisters: ¹¹  The time is short. So then those who have wives should be as those who have none,

1 Korintus 9:18

9:18 What then is my reward? That when I preach the gospel I may offer the gospel free of charge, and so not make full use of my rights in the gospel.

1 Korintus 10:4

10:4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they were all drinking from the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.

1 Korintus 10:7

1 Korintus 11:12

11:12 For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman. But all things come from God.

1 Korintus 12:15

12:15 If the foot says, “Since I am not a hand, I am not part of the body,” it does not lose its membership in the body because of that.

1 Korintus 15:9

15:9 For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

1 Korintus 15:37

15:37 And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare seed ¹⁶  – perhaps of wheat or something else.

1 Korintus 16:2

16:7 For I do not want to see you now in passing, since I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord allows.

[1:17]  ¹ tn Grk “would not be emptied.”

[1:20]  ² tn Grk “the scribe.” The traditional rendering of γραμματεύς (grammateu") as “scribe” does not communicate much to the modern English reader, for whom the term might mean “professional copyist,” if it means anything at all. The people referred to here were recognized experts in the law of Moses and in traditional laws and regulations. Thus “expert in the Mosaic law” comes closer to the meaning for the modern reader.

[1:28]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[3:5]  ⁴ tn Grk “and to each as the Lord gave.”

[3:19]  ⁵ sn A quotation from Job 5:13.

[5:2]  ⁶ tn Or “are puffed up/arrogant,” the same verb occurring in 4:6, 18.

[5:2]  ⁷ tn Grk “sorrowful, so that the one who did this might be removed.”

[6:16]  ⁸ tn Or “is in relationship with.”

[6:16]  ⁹ tn Grk “is one body,” implying the association “with her.”

[6:16]  ¹⁰ sn A quotation from Gen 2:24.

[7:29]  ¹¹ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.

[10:7]  ¹² tn The term “play” may refer to idolatrous, sexual play here, although that is determined by the context rather than the meaning of the word itself (cf. BDAG 750 s.v. παίζω).

[10:7]  sn A quotation from Exod 32:6.

[14:34]  ¹³ tn The word for “woman” and “wife” is the same in Greek. Because of the reference to husbands in v. 35, the word may be translated “wives” here. But in passages governing conduct in church meetings like this (cf. 11:2-16; 1 Tim 2:9-15) the general meaning “women” is more likely.

[14:34]  ¹⁴ sn For they are not permitted to speak. In light of 11:2-16, which gives permission for women to pray or prophesy in the church meetings, the silence commanded here seems not to involve the absolute prohibition of a woman addressing the assembly. Therefore (1) some take be silent to mean not taking an authoritative teaching role as 1 Tim 2 indicates, but (2) the better suggestion is to relate it to the preceding regulations about evaluating the prophets (v. 29). Here Paul would be indicating that the women should not speak up during such an evaluation, since such questioning would be in violation of the submission to male leadership that the OT calls for (the law, e.g., Gen 2:18).

[15:3]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “among (the) first things.”

[15:37]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “and what you sow, you do not sow the body that will be, but a bare seed.”

[16:2]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “set aside, storing whatever he has been blessed with.”

[16:2]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “set aside, storing.” The participle θησαυρίζων (qhsaurizwn) indicates the purpose or result of setting aside the extra income.

[16:2]  ¹⁹ tn “To the extent that God has blessed you” translates an awkward expression, “whatever has been prospered [to you].” This verb has been translated as an active with “God” as subject, taking it as a divine passive.

[16:2]  ²⁰ tn Grk “so that collections will not be taking place.”
