Commentary on 1st Corinthians,

Free Bible Study: Paul’s  First Epistle to the Corinthians


Today’s Lesson: Address
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1.1-1.3

Description:
Paul has been called by God, that is, set apart by the will of God. Now, two things are required of anyone that would be listened to in the Church, and would occupy the place of a teacher; first, he must be called by God to that office, and second he must faithfully discharge its duties. Paul here lays claim to both. For the name, Apostle, implies that the individual conscientiously acts the part of an ambassador for Christ, and proclaims the pure doctrine of the gospel. But, no one ought to assume this honor to himself, unless he has been called to it.
