1 Korintus 7:17

The Circumstances of Your Calling

1 Korintus 13:1

The Way of Love

13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but I do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

1 Korintus 14:20

14:20 Brothers and sisters, ²  do not be children in your thinking. Instead, be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature.

14:33 for God is not characterized by disorder but by peace.

1 Korintus 16:1

A Collection to Aid Jewish Christians

16:1 With regard to the collection for the saints, please follow the directions that I gave to the churches of Galatia: ⁶ 

[7:17]  ¹ tn Or “only”; Grk “if not.”

[14:20]  ² tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.

[14:33]  ³ sn This phrase may be taken with v. 33a.

[14:34]  ⁴ tn The word for “woman” and “wife” is the same in Greek. Because of the reference to husbands in v. 35, the word may be translated “wives” here. But in passages governing conduct in church meetings like this (cf. 11:2-16; 1 Tim 2:9-15) the general meaning “women” is more likely.

[14:34]  ⁵ sn For they are not permitted to speak. In light of 11:2-16, which gives permission for women to pray or prophesy in the church meetings, the silence commanded here seems not to involve the absolute prohibition of a woman addressing the assembly. Therefore (1) some take be silent to mean not taking an authoritative teaching role as 1 Tim 2 indicates, but (2) the better suggestion is to relate it to the preceding regulations about evaluating the prophets (v. 29). Here Paul would be indicating that the women should not speak up during such an evaluation, since such questioning would be in violation of the submission to male leadership that the OT calls for (the law, e.g., Gen 2:18).

[16:1]  ⁶ tn Grk “as I directed the churches of Galatia, so also you yourselves do.”
