1 Corinthians 15:34
_ _ Awake — literally, “out of the sleep” of carnal intoxication into which ye are thrown by the influence of these skeptics (1 Corinthians 15:32; Joel 1:5).
_ _ to righteousness — in contrast with “sin” in this verse, and corrupt manners (1 Corinthians 15:33).
_ _ sin not — Do not give yourselves up to sinful pleasures. The Greek expresses a continued state of abstinence from sin. Thus, Paul implies that they who live in sinful pleasures readily persuade themselves of what they wish, namely, that there is to be no resurrection.
_ _ some — the same as in 1 Corinthians 15:12.
_ _ have not the knowledge of God — and so know not His power in the resurrection (Matthew 22:29). Stronger than “are ignorant of God.” An habitual ignorance: willful, in that they prefer to keep their sins, rather than part with them, in order to know God (compare John 7:17; 1 Peter 2:15).
_ _ to your shame — that you Corinthian Christians, who boast of your knowledge, should have among you, and maintain intercourse with, those so practically ignorant of God, as to deny the resurrection. |
1 Corinthians 15:34
Awake — An exclamation full of apostolical majesty. Shake off your lethargy! To righteousness — Which flows from the true knowledge of God, and implies that your whole soul be broad awake. And sin not — That is, and ye will not sin Sin supposes drowsiness of soul. There is need to press this. For some among you have not the knowledge of God — With all their boasted knowledge, they are totally ignorant of what it most concerns them to know. I speak this to your shame — For nothing is more shameful, than sleepy ignorance of God, and of the word and works of God; in these especially, considering the advantages they had enjoyed. |
