1 Corinthians 1:12
_ _ this I say — this is what I mean in saying “contentions” (1 Corinthians 1:11).
_ _ every one of you saith — Ye say severally, “glorying in men” (1 Corinthians 1:31; 1 Corinthians 3:21, 1 Corinthians 3:22), one, I am of Paul; another, I am of Apollos, etc. Not that they formed definite parties, but they individually betrayed the spirit of party in contentions under the name of different favorite teachers. Paul will not allow himself to be flattered even by those who made his name their party cry, so as to connive at the dishonor thereby done to Christ. These probably were converted under his ministry. Those alleging the name of Apollos, Paul’s successor at Corinth (Acts 18:24, etc.), were persons attracted by his rhetorical style (probably acquired in Alexandria, 1 Corinthians 3:6), as contrasted with the “weak bodily presence” and “contemptible speech” of the apostle. Apollos, doubtless, did not willingly foster this spirit of undue preference (1 Corinthians 4:6, 1 Corinthians 4:8); nay, to discourage it, he would not repeat his visit just then (1 Corinthians 16:12).
_ _ I of Cephas — probably Judaizers, who sheltered themselves under the name of Peter, the apostle of the circumcision (“Cephas” is the Hebrew, “Peter” the Greek name; John 1:42; Galatians 2:11, etc.): the subjects handled in the seventh through ninth chapters were probably suggested as matters of doubt by them. The church there began from the Jewish synagogue, Crispus the chief ruler, and Sosthenes his successor (probably), being converts. Hence some Jewish leaven, though not so much as elsewhere, is traceable (2 Corinthians 11:22). Petrism afterwards sprang up much more rankly at Rome. If it be wrong to boast “I am of Peter,” how much more so to boast I am of the Pope!” [Bengel].
_ _ I of Christ — A fair pretext used to slight the ministry of Paul and their other teachers (1 Corinthians 4:8; 2 Corinthians 10:7-11). |
1 Corinthians 1:12
Now this I say — That is, what I mean is this: there are various parties among you, who set themselves, one against an other, in behalf of the several teachers they admire. And I of Christ — They spoke well, if they had not on this pretence despised their teachers, 1 Corinthians 4:8 Perhaps they valued themselves on having heard Christ preach in his own person. |
