1 Coríntios 1
Origen of Alexandria · Comentário Patrístico (catena)
1 Coríntios 1:2
Why did Paul write "to those called to be saints" as well as to those who are already "sanctified" and in the church? Surely this means that the letter is addressed not only to those who are already cleansed from their sins but also to those who still await cleansing, though they are among those whom God has called. — COMMENTARY ON 1 CORINTHIANS 1.1.7
1 Coríntios 1:4
Paul does not just give thanks for the Corinthians some of the time, nor only when they do good. He puts himself in the position of a father, who is thankful for his children all the time, whatever they may have done. — COMMENTARY ON 1 CORINTHIANS 1.2.1-15
1 Coríntios 1:5
Knowledge shows what there is to know. Speech goes further and explains it. — COMMENTARY ON 1 CORINTHIANS 1.2.29-30
1 Coríntios 1:6
The testimony of Christ is confirmed in us if we can say, like the apostle Paul, "I am persuaded that neither life nor death etc. can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord" [Rom 8:38-39]. But if we are upset by every little thing that happens, then Christ's testimony has not been confirmed in us at all. — COMMENTARY ON 1 CORINTHIANS 1.2.35-40
1 Coríntios 1:7
In this life the righteous person does not yet enjoy what he hopes for but rather endures suffering and danger. He is waiting for the revelation of Christ to come. — COMMENTARY ON 1 CORINTHIANS 1.2.48-51
1 Coríntios 1:8
Who sustains us? Christ Jesus, the Word and Wisdom of God. Moreover, he sustains us not merely for a day or two, but forever. — COMMENTARY ON 1 CORINTHIANS 1.2.52-54
1 Coríntios 1:9
Believe in Christ always, because you were called for no other purpose than to be one with us in him. — COMMENTARY ON 1 CORINTHIANS 1.3
1 Coríntios 1:10
The visible church is a mixed body, consisting of both righteous and unrighteous people. This is why Paul praises some of its members and criticizes others. The person who agrees with the right doctrine and the church's teaching concerning the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, as well as with the dispensation concerning us, with resurrection and judgment, and who follows the rules of the church is not in schism. — COMMENTARY ON 1 CORINTHIANS 1.4
1 Coríntios 1:18
Who was capable of destroying the plague of ignorance, darkness and destruction? Not a prophet, nor an apostle, nor any other righteous man. Rather there had to be a divine power coming down from heaven, capable of dying on behalf of us all, so that by his death there might be a defense against the devil. — COMMENTARY ON 1 CORINTHIANS 1.6.8-12
1 Coríntios 1:20
The wisdom of this world and the wisdom of God are not the same thing. God's wisdom is the true one, without any additives to corrupt it. The world's wisdom is foolish, even though the simplicity of God's wisdom makes those who have it appear foolish in the eyes of the world. Believers have received this divine wisdom and thus in this world appear to be fools. — COMMENTARY ON 1 CORINTHIANS 1.7.1-7
1 Coríntios 1:23
What has empowered us is belief in Christ crucified. To the extent that we are lacking something in our faith, then we are missing out on what the power of God has to offer us. — COMMENTARY ON 1 CORINTHIANS 1.8.1-4
