1 Korintus 1:7

1:7 so that you do not lack any spiritual gift as you wait for the revelation ¹  of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Korintus 2:15

2:15 The one who is spiritual discerns ²  all things, yet he himself is understood ³  by no one.

1 Korintus 6:6

6:6 Instead, does a Christian sue a Christian, ⁴  and do this before unbelievers?

1 Korintus 11:10

11:10 For this reason a woman should have a symbol of authority ⁵  on her head, because of the angels. ⁶ 

1 Korintus 11:12

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

[1:7]  ¹ sn The revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ refers to the Lord’s return, when he will be revealed (cf. the reference to the day of our Lord Jesus Christ in v. 8).

[2:15]  ² tn Or “evaluates.”

[2:15]  ³ tn Or “is evaluated” (i.e., “is subject to evaluation”); Grk “he himself is discerned,” that is, the person without the Spirit does not understand the person with the Spirit, particularly in relation to the life of faith.

[6:6]  ⁴ tn Grk “does a brother sue a brother,” but see the note on the word “Christian” in 5:11.

[11:10]  ⁵ sn Paul does not use a word specifying what type of “covering” is meant (veil, hat, etc.). The Greek word he uses here (ἐξουσία exousia; translated symbol of authority) could be (1) a figure of speech that may substitute the result (the right to participate in worship) for the appropriate appearance that makes it possible (the covered head). Or (2) it refers to the outward symbol (having the head covered) as representing the inward attitude the woman is to possess (deference to male leadership in the church).

[11:10]  ⁶ sn Paul does not explain this reference to the angels, and its point is not entirely clear. It seems to reflect an awareness that angels are witnesses to church life (cf. Eph 3:10) and would be particularly sensitive to resistance against God’s created order.
