Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Corinthians 15:10

_ _ by ... grace ... and his grace — The repetition implies the prominence which God’s grace had in his mind, as the sole cause of his marvelous conversion and subsequent labors. Though “not meet to be called an apostle,” grace has given him, in Christ, the meetness needed for the office. Translate as the Greek, “His grace which was (showed) towards me.”

_ _ what I am — occupying the honorable office of an apostle. Contrast with this the self-sufficient prayer of another Pharisee (Luke 18:11).

_ _ but I laboured — by God’s grace (Philippians 2:16).

_ _ than they all — than any of the apostles (1 Corinthians 15:7).

_ _ grace of God ... with me — Compare “the Lord working with them” (Mark 16:20). The oldest manuscripts omit “which was.” The “not I, but grace,” implies, that though the human will concurred with God when brought by His Spirit into conformity with His will, yet “grace” so preponderated in the work, that his own co-operation is regarded as nothing, and grace as virtually the sole agent. (Compare 1 Corinthians 3:9; Matthew 10:20; 2 Corinthians 6:1; Philippians 2:12, Philippians 2:13).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Corinthians 15:1-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Corinthians 15:10

I laboured more than they all — That is, more than any of them, from a deep sense of the peculiar love God had shown me. Yet, to speak more properly, it is not I, but the grace of God that is with me — This it is which at first qualified me for the work, and still excites me to zeal and diligence in it.
