1 Corinthians 2:9
_ _ But — (it has happened) as it is written.
_ _ Eye hath not seen, etc. — Alford translates, “The things which eye saw not ... the things which God prepared ... to us God revealed through His Spirit.” Thus, however, the “but” of 1 Corinthians 2:10 is ignored. Rather construe, as Estius, “(‘We speak,’ supplied from 1 Corinthians 2:8), things which eye saw not (heretofore), ... things which God prepared ... But God revealed them to us,” etc. The quotation is not a verbatim one, but an inspired exposition of the “wisdom” (1 Corinthians 2:6, from Isaiah 64:4). The exceptive words, “O God, beside (that is, except) Thee,” are not quoted directly, but are virtually expressed in the exposition of them (1 Corinthians 2:10), “None but thou, O God, seest these mysteries, and God hath revealed them to us by His Spirit.”
_ _ entered — literally, “come up into the heart.” A Hebraism (compare, Jeremiah 3:16, Margin). In Isaiah 64:4 it is “Prepared (literally, ‘will do’) for him that waiteth for Him”; here, “for them that love Him.” For Isaiah spake to them who waited for Messiah’s appearance as future; Paul, to them who love Him as having actually appeared (1 John 4:19); compare 1 Corinthians 2:12, “the things that are freely given to us of God” |
1 Corinthians 2:9
But this ignorance of theirs fulfils what is written concerning the blessings of the Messiah's kingdom. No natural man hath either seen, heard, or known, the things which God hath prepared, saith the prophet, for them that love him. Isaiah 64:4 |
1 Corinthians 2:9
(8) But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the (i) heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
(8) Another objection: but how could it be that those intelligent men could not perceive this wisdom? Paul answers: because we preach those things which surpass all man's understanding.
(i) Man cannot so much as think of them, much less conceive them with his senses. |
- eye:
- This passage is not taken from the LXX, nor is an exact translation of the Hebrew; but it gives the general sense.
