1 Corinthians 3:10
_ _ grace ... given unto me — Paul puts this first, to guard against seeming to want humility, in pronouncing himself “a WISE master builder,” in the clause following [Chrysostom]. The “grace” is that “given” to him in common with all Christians (1 Corinthians 3:5), only proportioned to the work which God had for him to do [Alford].
_ _ wise — that is, skilful. His skill is shown in his laying a foundation. The unskillful builder lays none (Luke 6:49). Christ is the foundation (1 Corinthians 3:11).
_ _ another — who ever comes after me. He does not name Apollos; for he speaks generally of all successors, whoever they be. His warning, “Let every man (every teacher) take heed how,” etc., refers to other successors rather than Apollos, who doubtless did not, as they, build wood, hay, etc., on the foundation (compare 1 Corinthians 4:15). “I have done my part, let them who follow me see (so the Greek for ‘take heed’) to theirs” [Bengel].
_ _ how — with what material [Alford]. How far wisely, and in builder-like style (1 Peter 4:11).
_ _ buildeth thereupon — Here the building or superstructure raised on Christ the “foundation,” laid by Paul (1 Corinthians 2:2) is not, as in Ephesians 2:20, Ephesians 2:21, the Christian Church made up of believers, the “lively stones” (1 Peter 2:5), but the doctrinal and practical teaching which the teachers who succeeded Paul, superadded to his first teaching; not that they taught what was false, but their teaching was subtle and speculative reasoning, rather than solid and simple truth. |
1 Corinthians 3:10
According to the grace of God given to me — This he premises, lest he should seem to ascribe it to himself. Let every one take heed how he buildeth thereon — That all his doctrines may be consistent with the foundation. |
1 Corinthians 3:10
According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. (4) But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
(4) Now he speaks to the teachers themselves, who succeeded him in the church of Corinth, and in this regard to all that were after or will be pastors of congregations, seeing that they succeed into the labour of the apostles, who were planters and chief builders. Therefore he warns them first that they do not persuade themselves that they may build after their own fantasy, that is, that they may propound and set forth anything in the Church, either in matter, or in type of teaching, different from the apostles who were the chief builders. |
