1 Korintus 1:28

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

1 Korintus 10:23

Live to Glorify God

10:23 “Everything is lawful,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is lawful,” ²  but not everything builds others up. ³ 

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

[10:23]  ² sn “Everything is lawful.” Here again Paul cites certain slogans the Corinthians used to justify their behavior (cf. 6:12-13; 7:1; 8:1, 4). Paul agrees with the slogans in part, but corrects them to show how the Corinthians have misused these ideas.

[10:23]  ³ tn Grk “builds up.” The object “others” is not expressed but is implied, as v. 24 shows. Paul picks up a theme he introduced at the start of this section of the letter (8:1).
