bulletFrom the Geneva Notes.
bullet"...Therefore the apostle shows that they are utterly unlike: for foods, he says, were made for the necessary use of man's life which is not perpetual: for both foods, and all this manner of nourishing, are quickly abolished. But we must not so think of the uncleanness of fornication, for which the body is not made, but on the other hand is ordained to purity, as appears by this, that is consecrated to Christ, even as Christ also is given us by his Father to enliven our bodies with that power with which he also rose again..."
bulletFrom Matthew Henry's Commentary.
bullet"Some among the Corinthians seem to have been ready to say, All things are lawful for me. This dangerous conceit St. Paul opposes."
bulletFrom Wesley's Notes.
bullet"Yield your bodies and all their members, as well as your souls and all their faculties, as instruments of righteousness to God. Devote and employ all ye have, and all ye are, entirely, unreservedly, and for ever, to his glory."
bulletFrom the Commentary on the Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
bullet"The Greek words are from the same root, whence there is a play on the words: All things are in my power, but I will not be brought under the power of any of them (the "all things")."
bulletFrom The People's New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
bullet"Christ paid the price, even his blood. Hence, since both body and spirit are God's, both should be used to glorify him. The fact that we are his, purchased, parts of his spiritual temple, makes the obligation imperative to consecrate the body and spirit to his service."
bulletContemporary Commentary, Studies and Exegesis:
bullet "First Thoughts on Passages on Year B Epistle Passages in the Lectionary: Epiphany 2," William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
bullet"...Paul regularly shifts our focus from morality to relationships, just as he shifts our focus from law to freedom. But his notion of freedom is wise to issues of power and confronts the splitting and compartmentalisation which refuses to let God be God and love be love in everything."
bullet Comments (commentary) and Clippings (technical notes for in-depth study), Chris Haslam, Anglican Diocese of Montreal.
bullet "Body Language," David Busic and Jeren Rowell, Preacher's Magazine: Listening to the Text, Engaging the Text, Preaching the Text.
bullet"Holiness answers questions people are asking when they’ve been duped and disappointed by cultural myths."
bullet "Sex and the City of God," study guide, Robert B. Kruschwitz, (other resources at) "Pornographic Culture," Christian Reflection, The Center for Christian Ethics at Baylor University, 2002.
bullet "The Temple of the Holy Spirit," Rev. Bryan Findlayson, Lectionary Bible Studies and Sermons, Pumpkin Cottage Ministry Resources. Includes detailed textual notes.
bullet "God's Gift of the Body," Larry Broding's Word-Sunday.Com: A Catholic Resource for This Sunday's Gospel.
bullet"Sit for a few moments and relax. As you sense your body's rhythms (or pains), thank God for the gift he gave you. Let those rhythms (or pains) remind you that you belong to God."
bullet "Freedom and Slavery," analysis and reflections by Steve Albertin in Sabbatheology by the Crossings Community of St. Louis.
bullet"Our religious pursuit of personal freedom betrays a deeper problem that haunts us."
bulletArticles & Background:
bullet "Eating Well: Seven Paradoxes of Plenty," Mary Louise Bringle, (other resources at) "Health," Christian Reflection, The Center for Christian Ethics at Baylor University, 2007.
bullet"Eating well is not just about what we do or do not put into our mouths. Far more, it is about the complex ways we attend to the health of our bodies, our spirits, our communities, and our planet. Eating well first requires that we hunger and thirst after righteousness—for then, and only then, will we be fully satisfied."
bullet "Boswell's Analysis of ArsenokoithV in 1 Cor 6:19 and 1 Tim 1:10," Stephen Carlson.
bullet"Whatever one thinks of the residual uncertainty in concluding that arsenokoithV means a homosexual, one can say that this sense is much more probable than Boswell's."
bullet "Why Won't Paul Just Say No? Purity and Sex in 1 Corinthians 6," Mark Gravrock, Volume XVI, Number 4, Word & World, Luther Northwestern Theological Seminary, 1996.
bullet"After clearly saying no to several sexual aberrations, Paul even so refuses to say no to the slogan, 'All things are lawful for me.' Paul's new way of doing sexual ethics under the impact of the law-cursed Messiah opens the door to conclusions very different from those of Leviticus...or of Paul."
bullet "No Kingdom of God for Softies? Or, What Was Paul Really Saying?" John H. Elliott, Biblical Theology Bulletin, 2004.
bullet"Attempts at using allegedly relevant texts as moral guidelines today are subject to serious exegetical and hermeneutical constraints."
bullet "Groups Protest Abstinence Site," Stephanie Martin, Group Magazine Talk Starter, 2005.
