Let The Women Keep Silence
“As in all the churches of the saints, let the women keep silence in the church: for it is not permitted unto them to speak, but let them be in subjection, as also saith the law. And, if they would learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home for it is shameful for […]
“What Is It Then, Brethren? …”
“… each one hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying” (1 Cor. 14:26). We now pass from definition and regulation of the “tongue gift” specifically, to the regulation of other gifts in general. From the instructions which follow one could […]
“Then Cometh The End …”
“… when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign until he hath put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be abolished is death. For He put all things in subjection […]
“But Now Hath Christ Been Raised …”
“… from the dead, the firstfruits of them that sleep. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive” (1 Cor. 15:20-22). In vv. 12-19 Paul set forth the necessary conclusions that must follow […]
“Now If Christ Is Preached …”
“… that he hath been raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?” (1 Cor. 15:12). This question of astonishment was asked by Paul after he had earlier reminded the Corinthians of the gospel he had preached when first he came to their city. He had […]
“And Last Of All …”
“… as to the child untimely born, he appeared to me also. For I am the least of all the apostles that are not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon […]
“And That He Appeared …”
“… to Cephas, then to the twelve, then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once of whom the greater part remain until now but some have fallen asleep, then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles, and last of all, as to the child untimely born, he appeared to me also” […]
“Be Not Deceived …”
“… evil companionships corrupt good morals. Awake to soberness righteously and sin not; for some have no knowledge of God. I speak this to move you to shame” (1 Cor. 15:33-34). A variety of Greek words are translated “deceiver” or be “deceived”. Twice, in this letter, Paul warns of being deceived, the other instance is […]
“I Die Daily”
“Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour? I protest by that glorying in you, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. If after the manner of men I fought with beasts at Ephesus what doth it profit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and […]
Baptism For The Dead
“Else what shall they do that are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them?” (1 Cor. 15:29). There is likely no passage in the entire Bible that has more explanations for it than this verse. What does it mean? It is a verse […]
