1 Corinthians 1:2
_ _ the church of God — He calls it so notwithstanding its many blots. Fanatics and sectaries vainly think to anticipate the final sifting of the wheat and tares (Matthew 13:27-30). It is a dangerous temptation to think there is no church where there is not apparent perfect purity. He who thinks so, must at last separate from all others and think himself the only holy man in the world, or establish a peculiar sect with a few hypocrites. It was enough for Paul in recognizing the Corinthians as a church, that he saw among them evangelical doctrine, baptism, and the Lord’s Supper” [Calvin]. It was the Church of God, not of this or of that favorite leader [Chrysostom].
_ _ at Corinth — a church at dissolute Corinth — what a paradox of grace!
_ _ sanctified — consecrated, or set apart as holy to God in (by union with) Christ Jesus. In the Greek there are no words “to them that are”; translate simply, “men sanctified.”
_ _ called to be saints — rather, “called saints”; saints by calling: applied by Paul to all professing members of the Church. As “sanctified in Christ” implies the fountain sources of holiness, the believer’s original sanctification in Christ (1 Corinthians 6:11; Hebrews 10:10, Hebrews 10:14; 1 Peter 1:2) in the purposes of God’s grace, so “called saints” refers to their actual call (Romans 8:30), and the end of that call that they should be holy (1 Peter 1:15).
_ _ with all that in every place call upon ... Christ — The Epistle is intended for these also, as well as for the Corinthians. The true Catholic Church (a term first used by Ignatius [Epistle to the Smyraeans, 8]): not consisting of those who call themselves from Paul, Cephas, or any other eminent leader (1 Corinthians 1:12), but of all, wherever they be, who call on Jesus as their Savior in sincerity (compare 2 Timothy 2:22). Still a general unity of discipline and doctrine in the several churches is implied in 1 Corinthians 4:17; 1 Corinthians 7:17; 11-16; 1 Corinthians 14:1-40 -33, 36. The worship due to God is here attributed to Jesus (compare Joel 2:32; Matthew 4:10; Acts 9:14).
_ _ both theirs and ours — “in every place which is their home ... and our home also”; this is added to include the Christians throughout Achaia, not residing in Corinth, the capital (2 Corinthians 1:1). Paul feels the home of his converts to be also his own. Compare a similar phrase in Romans 16:13 [Conybeare and Howson]. “Ours” refers to Paul and Sosthenes, and the Corinthians’ home [Alford]. Beza better explains, “Both their Lord and our Lord.” All believers have one and the same Lord (1 Corinthians 8:6; Ephesians 4:5); a virtual reproof of the divisions of the Corinthians, as if Christ were divided (1 Corinthians 1:13). |
1 Corinthians 1:2
To the church of God which is in Corinth — St. Paul, writing in a familiar manner to the Corinthians, as also to the Thessalonians and Galatians, uses this plain appellation. To the other churches he uses a more solemn address. Sanctified through Jesus Christ — And so undoubtedly they were in general, notwithstanding some exceptions. Called — Of Jesus Christ, Romans 1:6 And — As the fruit of that calling made holy. With all that in every place — Nothing could better suit that catholic love which St. Paul labours to promote in this epistle, than such a declaration of his good wishes for every true Christian upon earth. Call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ — This plainly implies that all Christians pray to Christ, as well as to the Father through him. |
1 Corinthians 1:2
(4) Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are (5) sanctified in (a) Christ Jesus, (b) called [to be] saints, with all that in every place (c) call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
(4) It is a church of God, even though it has great faults in it, as it obeys those who admonish them. (5) A true definition of the universal church, which is:
(a) The Father sanctifies us, that is to say, separates us from the wicked in giving us to his Son, that he may be in us, and we in him.
(b) Whom God by his gracious goodness and absolute love has separated for himself: or whom God has called to holiness: the first of these two expositions, shows from where our sanctification comes: and the second shows to what end it strives for.
(c) He is correctly said to call on God who cries to the Lord when he is in danger, and craves help from his hands, and by the figure of speech synecdoche, it is taken for all the service of God: and therefore to call upon Christ's name, is to acknowledge and take him for very God. |

- call:
- Τοις επικαλουμενοις το ονομα [Strong's G3686]. That these words ought not to be rendered passively, is evident from the LXX, who translate the phrase יקרא בשׁם, "he shall call on the name" which is active, by επικαλησεται εν ονοματι Θεου, or εν ονοματι Κυριου.
Genesis 4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
