AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 2:13 We also speak of these things, not in words taught or supplied by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining and interpreting spiritual thoughts with spiritual words [for those being guided by the Holy Spirit]. |
Subject: The words are divinely taught. |
Bible Note: Scofield once again provides a sholarly and thorough study of 'words' in 1 Cor. 2:13.. Nelson's NKJV Study Bible adds, "the Holy Spirit teaches": Paul emphasized that the intellectuals of this world could not teach the knowledge he was giving to the Corinthian believers. Note that the Spirit did not simply dictate words to Paul and the other apostles; He taught them. The apostles related with their own vocabulary and style what they had learned from the Spirit. "comparing spiritual things with spiritual": These words are difficult to translate and interpret. The Greek term translated 'comparing' may also mean 'to combine' or 'to interpret'. The two references to 'spiritual' may mean interpreting spiritual truths to spiritual persons, or else combining spiritual truths with spiritual words. The latter seems better. In other words, the phrase teaches that the spiritual truths of God are combined with the spiritual vocabulary of the apostles (see 2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20,21)." |
