Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Corinthians 1:9

_ _ faithful — to His promises (Philippians 1:6; 1 Thessalonians 5:24).

_ _ called — according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).

_ _ unto ... fellowship of ... Jesus — to be fellow heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17-28), like Him sons of God and heirs of glory (Romans 8:30; 2 Thessalonians 2:14; 1 Peter 5:10; 1 John 1:3). Chrysostom remarks that the name of Christ is oftener mentioned in this than in any other Epistle, the apostle designing thereby to draw them away from their party admiration of particular teachers to Christ alone.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Corinthians 1:1-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Corinthians 1:9

God is faithful — To all his promises; and therefore "to him that hath shall be given." By whom ye are called — A pledge of his willingness to save you unto the uttermost.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Corinthians 1:9

God [is] (h) faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

(h) True and constant, who not only calls us, but also gives to us the gift of perseverance.
