1 Cor 7:12a (first part of the verse) The Amplified Bible "To the rest I declare -- I, not the Lord [for Jesus did not discuss this]..." . . . Greetings to you, Chris! I have enjoyed reading your postings to the Forum. If I may, I hope to shed a little light on the discussion of "I, not the Lord." . . . You write in part: "...Paul gives his opinion about widowers, virgins, and folks married to nonbelievers in I Cor., where he clearly states, I say, not the Lord. Paul speaks with the statement, "I" in many commands that most consider commands of GOD." . . . Please note: in 1 Cor 7:12 "*I...say.* Not a denial of inspiration or an indication that Paul is giving human opinion, but simply a way of saying that Jesus had not spoken on this and God had not previously given revelation on the matter, as Paul was then writing" (p. 1738, MacArthur Study Bible, Word, 1997) . . . "(7:12) In vv. 1-12 the contrast is not between inspired teaching and uninspired teaching, as some have supposed. In vv. 10-11 Paul is repeating in substance something already taught by the Lord; but in v. 12 he is dealing with a situation not covered by our Lord's teaching. Instead of disclaiming inspiration for what he writes in v. 12, the apostle is actually claiming for his own words here the same authority as for the words of Christ Himself" (note at 1 Cor 7:12, New Scofield Reference Bible, Oxford, 1967). . . . I thank you for hearing me out. --JVH0212 |

I would agree with you on I Cor 7:12. However, I don't think the same authority exists on 7:25. This is definitely an oversight on my part, but I believe many would go to great lengths to argue 7:12 as opinion, so I was trying to differentiate any of these debated "opinions" (and again, I agree with you on 7:12) versus the command style statement in I Tim 2:12. Thanks for the additional info!! GOD bless! | ||||||
