1 Corinthians 9:5
_ _ lead about a sister, a wife — that is, “a sister as a wife”; “a sister” by faith, which makes all believers brethren and sisters in the one family of God: “a wife” by marriage covenant. Paul implies he did not exercise his undoubted right to marry and “lead about” a believer, for the sake of Christian expediency, as well to save the Church the expense of maintaining her in his wide circuits, as also that he might give himself more undistractedly to building up the Church of Christ (1 Corinthians 7:26, 1 Corinthians 7:32, 1 Corinthians 7:35). Contrast the Corinthians’ want of self-sacrifice in the exercise of their “liberty” at the cost of destroying, instead of edifying, the Church (1 Corinthians 8:9, Margin; 1 Corinthians 8:10-13).
_ _ as other apostles — implying that some of them had availed themselves of the power which they all had, of marrying. We know from Matthew 8:14, that Cephas (Peter) was a married man. A confutation of Peter’s self-styled followers, the Romanists, who exclude the clergy from marriage. Clement of Alexandria [Miscellanies, 7.63] records a tradition that he encouraged his wife when being led to death by saying, “Remember, my dear one, the Lord.” Compare Eusebius [Eccleiastical History, 3.30].
_ _ brethren of the Lord — held in especial esteem on account of their relationship to Jesus (Acts 1:14; Galatians 1:9). James, Joses, Simon, and Judas. Probably cousins of Jesus: as cousins were termed by the Jews “brethren.” Alford makes them literally brothers of Jesus by Joseph and Mary.
_ _ Cephas — probably singled out as being a name carrying weight with one partisan section at Corinth. “If your favorite leader does so, surely so may I” (1 Corinthians 1:12; 1 Corinthians 3:22). |
1 Corinthians 9:5
Have we not power to lead about with us a sister, a wife — And to demand sustenance for her also? As well as the other apostles — Who therefore, it is plain, did this. And Peter — Hence we learn, That St. Peter continued to live with his wife after he became an apostle: That he had no rights as an apostle which were not common to St. Paul. |
1 Corinthians 9:5

John 1:42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
