1 Corinthians 1:23
_ _ we — Paul and Apollos.
_ _ Christ crucified — The Greek expresses not the mere fact of His crucifixion, but the permanent character acquired by the transaction, whereby He is now a Savior (Galatians 3:1) crucified was the stone on which the Jews stumbled (Matthew 21:44). The opposition of Jew and Gentile alike shows that a religion so seemingly contemptible in its origin could not have succeeded if it had not been divine.
_ _ unto the Greeks — the oldest manuscripts read “unto the Gentiles.” |
1 Corinthians 1:23
We go on to preach, in a plain and historical, not rhetorical or philosophical, manner, Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumblingblock — Just opposite to the "signs" they demand. And to the Greeks foolishness — A silly tale, just opposite to the wisdom they seek. |
