Hi, Ray... Apparently Paul needed to write to them about other things besides brotherly love. Like all of us, they had some things in which they were strong and some things in which they were weak. Paul was writing to encourage them how to maintain their walk in God, to remind them of the Christ's commands, and marital purity. It appears that this Greek word "taught of God" doesn't appear any where else in scripture. However, Albert Barnes writes, "God has many ways of teaching people. The lessons which we learn from his Providence are a part of his instructions. The same is true of the decisions of our own consciences, and of the secret and silent influence of his Spirit on our hearts, disposing us to love what is lovely, and to do what ought to be done. In this manner all true Christians are taught to love those who bear the image of their Saviour." I'd be careful, however, not to build any doctrine on a word that occurs only once in Scripture. God's a great teacher, and if it is important for us to understand something, He uses repetition. In Him, Doc |
