AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 3:2 I fed you with milk, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Even now you are still not ready. |
Bible Question: What does the terms, milk and meat mean in 1 Cor. 3? |
Bible Answer: I would confirm what "prayon" said. The verse before gives the clue: 1 Cor 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to infants in Christ. Paul spends most of the 1 Corinthians straightening out their theology and addressing their worldly ways. It seems to me that Paul is insulting them, knocking them off of their high horse. He's saying, "You guys think you're so smart, but I haven't even laid the heavy stuff on you yet. I was waiting for you to grow up a bit, but you haven't. You're not even ready for the heavy stuff now!" (This is the Curt Amplified Version of Scripture! lol) If you read 1 Corinthians with this view in mind, a lot of what Paul says falls into place.
