1 Korintus 12:17

12:17 If the whole body were an eye, what part would do the hearing? If the whole were an ear, what part would exercise the sense of smell?

1 Korintus 12:21

12:21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you,” nor in turn can the head say to the foot, “I do not need you.”

1 Korintus 12:16

12:16 And if the ear says, “Since I am not an eye, I am not part of the body,” it does not lose its membership in the body because of that.

1 Korintus 15:52

1 Korintus 15:37

15:37 And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare seed ⁵  – perhaps of wheat or something else.

1 Korintus 15:41

1 Korintus 5:10

1 Korintus 9:1

1 Korintus 15:29

15:29 Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? ¹⁰  If the dead are not raised at all, then why are they baptized for them?

1 Korintus 16:11

16:11 So then, let no one treat him with contempt. But send him on his way in peace so that he may come to me. For I am expecting him with the brothers. ¹¹ 

1 Korintus 15:10

[15:52]  ¹ tn The Greek word ῥιπή (rJiph) refers to a very rapid movement (BDAG 906 s.v.). This has traditionally been translated as “twinkling,” which implies an exceedingly fast – almost instantaneous – movement of the eyes, but this could be confusing to the modern reader since twinkling in modern English often suggests a faint, flashing light. In conjunction with the genitive ὀφθαλμοῦ (ofqalmou, “of an eye”), “blinking” is the best English equivalent (see, e.g., L&N 16.5), although it does not convey the exact speed implicit in the Greek term.

[3:12]  ² sn The various materials described here, both valuable (gold, silver, precious stones) and worthless (wood, hay, or straw) refer to the quality of work built on the foundation, or possibly to the motivation of those doing the building. The materials themselves have been understood (1) as deeds or (2) as people (since ultimately the passage is addressing those who minister to others).

[2:9]  ³ tn Grk “entered the heart,” an OT expression, in which the heart functions like the mind.

[2:9]  ⁴ sn A quotation from Isa 64:4.

[15:37]  ⁵ tn Grk “and what you sow, you do not sow the body that will be, but a bare seed.”

[1:10]  ⁶ tn Grk “brothers,” but the Greek word may be used for “brothers and sisters” or “fellow Christians” as here (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 1, where considerable nonbiblical evidence for the plural ἀδελφοί [adelfoi] meaning “brothers and sisters” is cited).

[1:10]  ⁷ tn Grk “that you all say the same thing.”

[1:10]  ⁸ tn Grk “that there be no divisions among you.”

[1:10]  ⁹ tn Grk “that you be united in/by the same mind and in/by the same purpose.”

[15:29]  ¹⁰ sn Many suggestions have been offered for the puzzling expression baptized for the dead. There are up to 200 different explanations for the passage; a summary is given by K. C. Thompson, “I Corinthians 15,29 and Baptism for the Dead,” Studia Evangelica 2.1 (TU 87), 647-59. The most likely interpretation is that some Corinthians had undergone baptism to bear witness to the faith of fellow believers who had died without experiencing that rite themselves. Paul’s reference to the practice here is neither a recommendation nor a condemnation. He simply uses it as evidence from the lives of the Corinthians themselves to bolster his larger argument, begun in 15:12, that resurrection from the dead is a present reality in Christ and a future reality for them. Whatever they may have proclaimed, the Corinthians’ actions demonstrated that they had hope for a bodily resurrection.

[16:11]  ¹¹ tn Since Paul appears to expect specific delegates here and they were most likely men, the Greek word ἀδελφοί (adelfoi) here has not been not translated as “brothers and sisters.”
