1 Corinthians 4:19
_ _ Alford translates, “But come I will”; an emphatical negation of their supposition (1 Corinthians 4:18).
_ _ shortly — after Pentecost (1 Corinthians 16:8).
_ _ if the Lord will — a wise proviso (James 4:15). He does not seem to have been able to go as soon as he intended.
_ _ and will know — take cognizance of.
_ _ but the power — I care not for their high-sounding “speech,” “but” what I desire to know is “their power,” whether they be really powerful in the Spirit, or not. The predominant feature of Grecian character, a love for power of discourse, rather than that of godliness, showed itself at Corinth. |
