Ambrosiaster · Comentário Patrístico (catena)
1 Coríntios 2:1
What Paul calls the testimony here is God the Word incarnate, hidden from all ages with God. Heretics played fast and loose with these things. They preached their wicked doctrine with great eloquence, following the wisdom of the world. They emptied Christ's cross of its power. They were embarrassed to be ridiculed by the world. — COMMENTARY ON PAUL'S EPISTLES
1 Coríntios 2:3
By preaching Christ in what appeared to be folly to human wisdom, Paul provoked hatred and persecution against himself. — COMMENTARY ON PAUL'S EPISTLES
1 Coríntios 2:6
The mature are those who preach the cross as wisdom because of the witness of Christ's power at work. They know that actions speak louder than words. Their wisdom is not of this age but of the age to come, when the truth of God will be manifested to those who now deny it. — COMMENTARY ON PAUL'S EPISTLES
1 Coríntios 2:7
Paul testifies that he has been sent to reveal a secret wisdom which the princes of this world do not know and which they therefore label stupid. The wisdom of God is hidden because it is not in words but in power. It is impossible in human terms, but it can be believed by the power of the Spirit. God foresaw the future sins of the world and therefore decreed this in order to confound those who would turn his wisdom into their own stupidity, and also to glorify us, who would believe it. — COMMENTARY ON PAUL'S EPISTLES
1 Coríntios 2:8
The rulers of this age are not only those who were great among the Jews and the Romans but also every spiritual power which sets itself up against God. The Jewish rulers cannot be called rulers of this age, because they were subject to the Romans. Nor did the Romans crucify Jesus, because Pilate himself said that he found no fault in him. The rulers who crucified him were the demons. They knew that Jesus was the Messiah but not that he was the Son of God, and so it can be said that they crucified him in ignorance. — COMMENTARY ON PAUL'S EPISTLES
1 Coríntios 2:9
These words were expressed somewhat differently by Isaiah, and they are also found in the apocryphal Apocalypse of Elijah. Paul uses them to refer to the incarnation of Christ, which not only goes against human perception but is beyond the understanding of heavenly powers as well. — COMMENTARY ON PAUL'S EPISTLES
1 Coríntios 2:10
God revealed these things through his Spirit to believers, because the things of God cannot be understood without the Spirit of God, who is of God and therefore knows everything about him. — COMMENTARY ON PAUL'S EPISTLES
1 Coríntios 2:11
The Spirit of God has taught us what he knows by nature, not what he has been taught himself. Furthermore, he has taught us about the mystery of Christ, because he is not just the Spirit of God but the Spirit of Christ as well. — COMMENTARY ON PAUL'S EPISTLES
1 Coríntios 2:12
The "spirit of the world" is the one by which different people are possessed. It does not know the truth but can only guess at it, and therefore it both deceives others and is itself deceived by appearances. — COMMENTARY ON PAUL'S EPISTLES
1 Coríntios 2:15
Who can condemn a man who tells the truth? When such a person states that all the enemies of the faith regard falsehoods as true, their accusations are reduced to nothing because they are condemned by the judgment of the truth. — COMMENTARY ON PAUL'S EPISTLES
1 Coríntios 2:16
Paul says this because believers are partakers of the divine wisdom.. — COMMENTARY ON PAUL'S EPISTLES
