Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
SYNOPSIS OF THE CHAPTER
i. There were some at Corinth who had abandoned themselves to impurity, others who were proud and contentious (xi20 , 21), others given to other sins, and disposed to regard S. Paul"s admonitions cheaply. He threatens such in this chapter, that he may provoke them to repentance.
ii. He bids them (ver3) keep in mind and reverence the effectual grace given him by Christ, and the wonderful works it had enabled him to perform.
iii. He beseeches them (ver7) to do no evil, lest he be forced to use against them his power to punish.
iv. He exhorts them (ver11) to perfection, to love one another, to live at peace, to greet one another, and sends them his own salutation.
