Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Corinthians 15:31

_ _ by your rejoicingby the glorying which I have concerning you, as the fruit of my labors in the Lord. Some of the earliest manuscripts and fathers read “our,” with the same sense. Bengel understands “your rejoicing,” to be the enjoyable state of the Corinthians, as contrasted with his dying daily to give his converts rejoicing or glorying (1 Corinthians 4:8; 2 Corinthians 4:12, 2 Corinthians 4:15; Ephesians 3:13; Philippians 1:26). But the words, “which I have,” favor the explanation — “the rejoicing which I have over you.” Many of the oldest manuscripts and Vulgate insert “brethren” here.

_ _ I die daily — This ought to stand first in the sentence, as it is so put prominently forward in the Greek. I am day by day in sight of death, exposed to it, and expecting it (2 Corinthians 4:11, 2 Corinthians 4:12; 2 Corinthians 1:8, 2 Corinthians 1:9; 2 Corinthians 11:23).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Corinthians 15:20-34.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Corinthians 15:31

I protest by your rejoicing, which I have — Which love makes my own. I die daily — I am daily in the very jaws of death. Beside that I live, as it were, in a daily martyrdom.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Corinthians 15:31

I protest by your (p) rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

(p) As though he said, "I die daily, as all the miseries I suffer can well witness, which I may truly boast of, that I have suffered among you."
