| From the Geneva Notes.
Chapter 11
 | "...we
must order ourselves in such a way that we seek not ourselves, but God's
glory, and so the salvation of as many as we may. In which the apostle
does not thrust himself to the Corinthians (even his own flock) as an
example, except so that he calls them back to Christ, to whom he himself
has regard." |
|
| From
Matthew
Henry's Commentary.
Chapter
11
| "Christians
should take care not to use their liberty to the hurt of others, or to
their own reproach. In eating and drinking, and in all we do, we should
aim at the glory of God, at pleasing and honouring him. This is the
great end of all religion, and directs us where express rules are
wanting. A holy, peaceable, and benevolent spirit, will disarm the
greatest enemies." |
|
| From Wesley's
Notes. Chapter
11
| "In
all things whatsoever, whether of a religious or civil nature, in all
the common, as well as sacred, actions of life, keep the glory of God in
view, and steadily pursue in all this one end of your being, the
planting or advancing the vital knowledge and love of God, first in your
own soul, then in all mankind." |
|
| From the Commentary on the
Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871). Chapter 11
| "Giving
offense is unnecessary, if our own spirit cause it; necessary, if it be
caused by the truth." |
|
| From The People's New
Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891. Chapter 11.
| "Do
nothing that would produce a scandal, or arouse prejudice, whether they
be Jews, or Gentiles, or brethren." |
