bulletFrom the Geneva Notes.
bullet"...unless our knowledge is tempered with charity, it does not only not avail, but also does much hurt, because it is the mistress of pride. Nay, it does not so much as deserve the name of godly knowledge, if it is separate from the love of God, and therefore from the love of our neighbour."

bulletFrom Wesley's Notes.

bulletFrom the Commentary on the Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
bullet"And yet professing Christians at Corinth virtually tempted their brethren to their damnation, so far were they from sacrificing aught for their salvation."
bulletFrom The People's New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
bullet"The Christian principle, the rule of love, is, 'If eating meat, or going to the theater, or going to a ball, or attending the fair, or drinking wine or beer, causeth my brother to offend, I will not do these things while the world standeth.'"

bullet"(DR) does Paul's stress on "knowledge" indicate that he was arguing against a gnostic faction in Corinth? (CU) or is the content of his understanding of "knowledge" come out of the context here in ch. 8...being known by God etc.?"
bullet "Strength Revealed as Weakness," Susan B.W. Johnson, The Christian Century, 1997. At Religion Online.
bullet"In the practice of this love, the presumed strong become the revealed weak, and God uses even that which is not to bring to nothing the things that are."
bulletArticles & Background:
bullet"Meals, Food and Tablefellowship." Jerome H. Neyrey, in The Social Sciences and New Testament Interpretation, 159-82. R. L. Rohrbaugh, ed. Peabody, Mass.: Hendrickson, 1996.
bullet"How can readers understand the particular ceremony of meals and table fellowship? Why are meals so important as symbols of broader social relationships? How can we peer below the surface and grasp the social dynamics encoded in meals and commensality, what anthropologists call "the language of meals"?"
bulletOropeza, B.J., "Laying to Rest the Midrash: Paul’s Message on Meat Sacrificed to Idols in Light of the Deuteronomistic Tradition," Biblica Vol. 79(1998) 57-68. Abstract
bullet"...the Deuteronomic tradition which Paul echoes in 8, 1–11,1 posits another reason why the literary integrity of his entire discussion on idol meats may be maintained. In this section of his letter Paul adopts the Deuteronomic motif of apostasy through idolatry which is prevalent in the Song of Moses (Deut 32). The language and ideas derived from this theme are integrated throughout the apostle's discourse."
bullet "One God, One Lord, One People: Incarnational Christology for a Church in a Pagan Environment," N.T. Wright. At North Park Seminary's Ex Auditu.
bullet"It means, clearly, that love and concern for other members of the community is to be placed ahead of all attempts at personal self-realization."
bullet "Learning Jesus," Luke Timothy Johnson. Spiritual intimacy through Christ, adapted from Living Jesus: Learning the Heart of the Gospel (1999). Republished at Religion OnLine.
bullet"Our fidelity is not to our past understanding but to the living Lord, which means that our learning Jesus continues as long as we live."
