1 Corinthians 4:10
_ _ Irony. How much your lot (supposing it real) is to be envied, and ours to be pitied.
_ _ fools — (1 Corinthians 1:21; 1 Corinthians 3:18; compare Acts 17:18; Acts 26:24).
_ _ for Christ’s sake ... in Christ — Our connection with Christ only entails on us the lowest ignominy, “ON ACCOUNT OF,” or, “FOR THE SAKE OF” Him, as “fools”; yours gives you full fellowship IN Him as “wise” (that is, supposing you really are all you seem, 1 Corinthians 3:18).
_ _ we ... weak ... ye ... strong — (1 Corinthians 2:3; 2 Corinthians 13:9).
_ _ we ... despised — (2 Corinthians 10:10) because of our “weakness,” and our not using worldly philosophy and rhetoric, on account of which ye Corinthians and your teachers are (seemingly) so “honorable.” Contrast with “despised” the “ye (Galatians) despised not my temptation ... in my flesh” (Galatians 4:14). |
1 Corinthians 4:10
We are fools, in the account of the world, for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ — Though ye are Christians, ye think yourselves wise; and ye have found means to make the world think you so too. We are weak — In presence, in infirmities, in sufferings. But ye are strong — In just opposite circumstances. |
- are fools:

1 Corinthians 1:26-28 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]: ... And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, [yea], and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
1 Corinthians 2:3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. ... Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
2 Corinthians 13:3-4 Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you. ... For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.
2 Corinthians 13:9 For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, [even] your perfection.
