1 Corinthians 15:10

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:10

THE CALL FOR SERVICE‘I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God.’ 1 Corinthians 15:10 The Gospel of Christ appeals to you in your strength as well as in your weakness. It is pitiable to think how many miss this truth in the fulness of their manhood, in the glory of their youth. Somehow they suppose that Christianity will wait out of sight for the day when it ever will find them fallen among thieves, wounded and broken by the roadside. Then, at last, it will come... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:5-10

The Witnesses To The Resurrection (15:5-10). 'And that he appeared (literally 'was seen by) to Cephas; then to the twelve; then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep; then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles; and last of all, as to one unfortunately born, he appeared to me also. For I am the least of the Apostles, who am not fit to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.' Note... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:10

'But by the grace of God I am what I am. And his grace which was bestowed on me was not found to be vain, but I laboured more abundantly than all of them, and yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.' But he does not want them to gain the impression from this that he is not therefore a genuine Apostle. He is what he is by the grace, the unmerited favour and goodness, of God Who had chosen him from birth (Galatians 1:15). And God does nothing by halves. Even while he had not known Him... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:1-11

1 Corinthians 15. The Resurrection of the Dead.— This discussion seems not to have been elicited by the church letter, but by information which had reached Paul through another source. Some were denying the doctrine of the resurrection ( 1 Corinthians 15:12). On what grounds they denied it and what view they held of life after death is not said. Probably they held that current in Greek philosophy, that death was a release from the prison-house of the body, that the spirits of the good... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:10

By the grace of God I am what I am; by the free love and goodness of God, I, that was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious, have obtained mercy; and though it was impossible for me any more to requite and answer, than at first to merit, that love, yet his grace in me hath produced some fruit, and hath not been wholly in vain; for in the discharge of my ministry, as an apostle, I have abundantly laboured, though not more than all the rest of the apostles taken together, yet more... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:1-11

CRITICAL NOTESNote: 1. The main teaching of chapter is almost pure dogma. It is for the most part matter of simple revelation and belief. 2. The earliest extant written account of the appearances of the Risen Lord. The earliest Gospel is not so early as this. This account written not more than thirty years after the asserted Resurrection of Christ. [Important in its bearing upon 1 Corinthians 15:6.]1 Corinthians 15:1. I declare.—With some shade of reproach that they required it. See the same... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:3-11

1 Corinthians 15:3-11 I. The gospel which Paul preached was very simple. (1) The articles of his creed were few and plain. "Christ died; He was buried; He rose again." (2) He delivered them "first of all." They were among the first things of which he spoke. He put them in the van and forefront of all his teaching. (3) He delivered them as that which he also received. They constituted his message and his mission, both of which came to him directly from the Lord. II. Having described the gospel... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:10

1 Corinthians 15:10 Sudden Conversions. The conversion of St. Paul was a wonderful conversion, as our church in one place calls it, because it was so unexpected and (as far as the appearance went) so sudden. It may be useful to mention one or two kinds of what may be called sudden conversions, and to inquire which of them really took place in St. Paul's case. I. First, some men turn to religion all at once from some sudden impulse of mind, some powerful excitement, or some strong persuasion.... read more

DISCOURSE: 1990ALL OF GRACE1 Corinthians 15:10. By the grace of God I am what I am.EVERY one, however exalted, may find points of comparison in which he is inferior to others; and, instead of envying the superiority of others in those respects, it becomes him contentedly to acquiesce in the Divine appointments, and thankfully to adore God for whatever blessings he enjoys.St. Paul, in descanting upon the resurrection of our Lord, has occasion to mention the different manifestations of himself... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:1-58

1 Corinthians 15:1-58 There were people in the Apostles' days who had an idea that there was no resurrection. Paul endeavours torefute the idea, and teaches the Corinthians that there was a resurrection from the dead. From the 1st to the 11th verse he proves the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and upon that grounds the doctrine of the resurrection of the just. "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, and wherein ye stand: "By which also... read more
