■ 고린도전서 12장
1. 형제들아 신령한 것에 대하여는 내가 너희의 알지 못하기를 원치 아니하노니
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren , I would not have you ignorant .
2. 너희도 알거니와 너희가 이방인으로 있을 때에 말 못하는 우상에게로 끄는 그대로 끌려 갔느니라
Ye know that ye were Gentiles , carried away unto these dumb idols , even as ye were led .
3. 그러므로 내가 너희에게 알게 하노니 하나님의 영으로 말하는 자는 누구든지 예수를 저주할 자라 하지 않고 또 성령으로 아니하고는 누구든지 예수를 주시라 할 수 없느니라
Wherefore I give you to understand , that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed : and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord , but by the Holy Ghost .
4. 은사는 여러 가지나 성령은 같고
Now there are diversities of gifts , but the same Spirit .
5. 직임은 여러 가지나 주는 같으며
And there are differences of administrations , but the same Lord .
6. 또 역사는 여러 가지나 모든 것을 모든 사람 가운데서 역사하시는 하나님은 같으니
And there are diversities of operations , but it is the same God which worketh all in all .
7. 각 사람에게 성령의 나타남을 주심은 유익하게 하려 하심이라
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal .
8. 어떤 이에게는 성령으로 말미암아 지혜의 말씀을, 어떤 이에게는 같은 성령을 따라 지식의 말씀을,
For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom ; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit ;
9. 다른 이에게는 같은 성령으로 믿음을, 어떤 이에게는 한 성령으로 병 고치는 은사를,
To another faith by the same Spirit ; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit ;
10. 어떤 이에게는 능력 행함을, 어떤 이에게는 예언함을, 어떤 이에게는 영들 분별함을, 다른 이에게는 각종 방언 말함을, 어떤 이에게는 방언들 통역함을 주시나니
To another the working of miracles ; to another prophecy ; to another discerning of spirits ; to another divers kinds of tongues ; to another the interpretation of tongues :
11. 이 모든 일은 같은 한 성령이 행하사 그 뜻대로 각 사람에게 나눠 주시느니라
But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit , dividing to every man severally as he will .
12. 몸은 하나인데 많은 지체가 있고 몸의 지체가 많으나 한 몸임과 같이 그리스도도 그러하니라
For as the body is one , and hath many members , and all the members of that one body , being many , are one body : so also is Christ .
13. 우리가 유대인이나 헬라인이나 종이나 자유자나 다 한 성령으로 침례를 받아 한 몸이 되었고 또 다 한 성령을 마시게 하셨느니라
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body , whether we be Jews or Gentiles , whether we be bond or free ; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit .
14. 몸은 한 지체뿐 아니요 여럿이니
For the body is not one member , but many .
15. 만일 발이 이르되 나는 손이 아니니 몸에 붙지 아니하였다 할지라도 이로 인하여 몸에 붙지 아니한 것이 아니요
If the foot shall say , Because I am not the hand , I am not of the body ; is it therefore not of the body ?
16. 또 귀가 이르되 나는 눈이 아니니 몸에 붙지 아니하였다 할지라도 이로 인하여 몸에 붙지 아니한 것이 아니니
And if the ear shall say , Because I am not the eye , I am not of the body ; is it therefore not of the body ?
17. 만일 온 몸이 눈이면 듣는 곳은 어디며 온 몸이 듣는 곳이면 냄새 맡는 곳은 어디뇨
If the whole body were an eye , where were the hearing ? If the whole were hearing , where were the smelling ?
18. 그러나 이제 하나님이 그 원하시는 대로 지체를 각각 몸에 두셨으니
But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body , as it hath pleased him .
19. 만일 다 한 지체뿐이면 몸은 어디뇨
And if they were all one member , where were the body ?
20. 이제 지체는 많으나 몸은 하나라
But now are they many members , yet but one body .
21. 눈이 손더러 내가 너를 쓸 데 없다 하거나 또한 머리가 발더러 내가 너를 쓸 데 없다 하거나 하지 못하리라
And the eye cannot say unto the hand , I have no need of thee : nor again the head to the feet , I have no need of you .
22. 이뿐 아니라 몸의 더 약하게 보이는 지체가 도리어 요긴하고
Nay , much more those members of the body , which seem to be more feeble , are necessary :
23. 우리가 몸의 덜 귀히 여기는 그것들을 더욱 귀한 것들로 입혀 주며 우리의 아름답지 못한 지체는 더욱 아름다운 것을 얻고
And those members of the body , which we think to be less honourable , upon these we bestow more abundant honour ; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness .
24. 우리의 아름다운 지체는 요구할 것이 없으니 오직 하나님이 몸을 고르게 하여 부족한 지체에게 존귀를 더하사
For our comely parts have no need : but God hath tempered the body together , having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked :
25. 몸 가운데서 분쟁이 없고 오직 여러 지체가 서로 같이하여 돌아보게 하셨으니
That there should be no schism in the body ; but that the members should have the same care one for another .
26. 만일 한 지체가 고통을 받으면 모든 지체도 함께 고통을 받고 한 지체가 영광을 얻으면 모든 지체도 함께 즐거워하나니
And whether one member suffer , all the members suffer with it ; or one member be honoured , all the members rejoice with it .
27. 너희는 그리스도의 몸이요 지체의 각 부분이라
Now ye are the body of Christ , and members in particular .
28. 하나님이 교회 중에 몇을 세우셨으니 첫째는 사도요 둘째는 선지자요 셋째는 교사요 그 다음은 능력이요 그 다음은 병 고치는 은사와 서로 돕는 것과 다스리는 것과 각종 방언을 하는 것이라
And God hath set some in the church , first apostles , secondarily prophets , thirdly teachers , after that miracles , then gifts of healings , helps , governments , diversities of tongues .
29. 다 사도겠느냐 다 선지자겠느냐 다 교사겠느냐 다 능력을 행하는 자겠느냐
Are all apostles ? are all prophets ? are all teachers ? are all workers of miracles ?
30. 다 병 고치는 은사를 가진 자겠느냐 다 방언을 말하는 자겠느냐 다 통역하는 자겠느냐
Have all the gifts of healing ? do all speak with tongues ? do all interpret ?
31. 너희는 더욱 큰 은사를 사모하라 내가 또한 제일 좋은 길을 너희에게 보이리라
But covet earnestly the best gifts : and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way .

【고전12:1 JFB】고전12:1-31. The Use and the Abuse of Spiritual Gifts, Especially Prophesying and Tongues.
This is the second subject for correction in the Corinthian assemblies: the "first" was discussed (고전11:18-34).
1. spiritual gifts—the signs of the Spirit's continued efficacious presence in the Church, which is Christ's body, the complement of His incarnation, as the body is the complement of the head. By the love which pervades the whole, the gifts of the several members, forming reciprocal complements to each other, tend to the one object of perfecting the body of Christ. The ordinary and permanent gifts are comprehended together with the extraordinary, without distinction specified, as both alike flow from the divine indwelling Spirit of life. The extraordinary gifts, so far from making professors more peculiarly saints than in our day, did not always even prove that such persons were in a safe state at all (마7:22). They were needed at first in the Church: (1) as a pledge to Christians themselves who had just passed over from Judaism or heathendom, that God was in the Church; (2) for the propagation of Christianity in the world; (3) for the edification of the Church. Now that we have the whole written New Testament (which they had not) and Christianity established as the result of the miracles, we need no further miracle to attest the truth. So the pillar of cloud which guided the Israelites was withdrawn when they were sufficiently assured of the Divine Presence, the manifestation of God's glory being thenceforward enclosed in the Most Holy Place [Archbishop Whately]. Paul sets forth in order: (1). The unity of the body (고전12:1-27). (2). The variety of its members and functions (고전12:27-30). (3). The grand principle for the right exercise of the gifts, namely, love (고전12:31; 고전13:1-13). (4) The comparison of the gifts with one another (고전14:1-40).
I would not have you ignorant—with all your boasts of "knowledge" at Corinth. If ignorant now, it will be your own fault, not mine (고전14:38).
【고전12:1 CWC】The theme of this lesson is closely related to the preceding, for the church disorders included not only unbecoming conduct of the women in the public assembly, and an unworthy observance of the Lord's supper, but an unholy emulation in the matter of spiritual gifts.
1. After a brief introduction (vv. 1-3), the apostle discusses the origin of these gifts as not natural to the believer, but the special bestowment of God. God the Father is the worker of them, God the Spirit their distributor, and God the Son the One on Whose behalf they are administered (12:4-6).
2. As to their nature, there are nine -- wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, tongues and interpretation of tongues (vv. 7-11). Of course, the above means "wisdom" and "knowledge" in the things of God; "faith," not merely for the acceptance of Christ, which is assumed, but for special purposes or objects, "prophecy," not in the sense of foretelling, but forth-telling, speaking "to edification, exhortation and comfort" (14:3).
3. The object and use of the gifts is for the profit of the whole body of Christ, into which believers have been baptized by the Holy Spirit (vv. 12, 13). They are in Christ what the foot, the hand, the ear, the eyes are in the human body (vv. 14-21). Hence honor, unity, sympathy, and mutual joyfulness should pervade and prevail (vv. 22-26). There are differences among these gifts, and the best are to be coveted, but all depend on the spirit in which they are exercised (vv. 27-31).
4. This leads the apostle to speak of the abuse of the gifts of which the Corinthians had been guilty, and which consumes the whole of chapter 13. Of what value is any of these gifts to their possessors without "love," which is the meaning of "charity" in this chapter (vv. 1-3). Love is now defined (vv. 4-7) and its supremacy and permanency affirmed (vv. 8-13). A time is coming when prophesying and speaking with tongues will be no longer required, and the knowledge we now have will appear childish in comparison with what we shall have, but not so with love, which, like faith and hope, is eternal. Therefore follow after love (14:1).
Speaking With Tongues.
5. Returning to the choice among the gifts the preference is given to prophesying (14:1-25), especially as compared with "tongues," because the latter had been the chief cause of the unholy emulation referred to, and also of gross disorder in the public assembly. The value of prophesying is stated in verse 3. "Tongues" should not be exercised unless an interpreter is present (v. 5), and for the reasons indicated (vv. 6-14). Paul's own custom or example is now stated (vv. 15-19), an exhortation follows (v. 20), and a declaration of the purpose of "tongues" concludes this part of the subject (vv. 21-25).
"Tongues" are a sign not for believers but unbelievers, and not for their conversion evidently, but simply as a demonstration of Divine power. It is far different with prophesying, which practically is identical with preaching and testimony, for this serves both for believers and unbelievers.
6. The order in which the gifts are to be publicly exercised in now given (vv. 26-35). The form of worship was very democratic, the people generally participating, reciting psalms, giving instruction, speaking with tongues, interpreting tongues, uttering a "revelation." As to this last, it would appear that until the New Testament was written, new revelations suited to the new dispensation were given to certain of the prophets. Care was to be taken that not more than two or three should speak in an unknown tongue, and not all at once, but one by one. Moreover, in the absence of an interpreter they should not speak at all. The same method should be followed by the prophets. Nor let any say when he felt a desire to speak, that he could not wait until another had concluded (vv. 32, 33).
In such meetings when the whole church came together in one place, women were to keep silence. This is the interpretation the Scofield Bible puts on verses 34 and 35, but there is a difficulty here in the light of 1 Cor. 11, where women are not forbidden to pray and prophesy in public.
7. The contentious spirit of the church is rebuked as in chapter 11. They were evidently seeking to establish a precedent of their own in these matters (v. 36), but that which Paul is writing to them is the commandment of the Lord (v. 37). Whatsoever they did was to be done "decently and in order," (v. 40).
【고전12:1 MHCC】Spiritual gifts were extraordinary powers bestowed in the first ages, to convince unbelievers, and to spread the gospel. Gifts and graces greatly differ. Both were freely given of God. But where grace is given, it is for the salvation of those who have it. Gifts are for the advantage and salvation of others; and there may be great gifts where there is no grace. The extraordinary gifts of the Holy Spirit were chiefly exercised in the public assemblies, where the Corinthians seem to have made displays of them, wanting in the spirit of piety, and of Christian love. While heathens, they had not been influenced by the Spirit of Christ. No man can call Christ Lord, with believing dependence upon him, unless that faith is wrought by the Holy Ghost. No man could believe with his heart, or prove by a miracle, that Jesus was Christ, unless by the Holy Ghost. There are various gifts, and various offices to perform, but all proceed from one God, one Lord, one Spirit; that is, from the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the origin of all spiritual blessings. No man has them merely for himself. The more he profits others, the more will they turn to his own account. The gifts mentioned appear to mean exact understanding, and uttering the doctrines of the Christian religion; the knowledge of mysteries, and skill to give advice and counsel. Also the gift of healing the sick, the working of miracles, and to explain Scripture by a peculiar gift of the Spirit, and ability to speak and interpret languages. If we have any knowledge of the truth, or any power to make it known, we must give all the glory of God. The greater the gifts are, the more the possessor is exposed to temptations, and the larger is the measure of grace needed to keep him humble and spiritual; and he will meet with more painful experiences and humbling dispensations. We have little cause to glory in any gifts bestowed on us, or to despise those who have them not. (1Co 12:12-26)
【고전12:2 JFB】2. (엡2:11).
that ye were—The best manuscripts read, "That WHEN ye were"; thus "ye were" must be supplied before "carried away"—Ye were blindly transported hither and thither at the will of your false guides.
these dumb idols—Greek, "the idols which are dumb"; contrasted with the living God who "speaks" in the believer by His Spirit (고전12:3, &c.). This gives the reason why the Corinthians needed instruction as to spiritual gifts, namely, their past heathen state, wherein they had no experience of intelligent spiritual powers. When blind, ye went to the dumb.
as ye were led—The Greek is, rather, "as ye might (happen to) be led," namely, on different occasions. The heathen oracles led their votaries at random, without any definite principle.
【고전12:3 JFB】3. The negative and positive criteria of inspiration by the Spirit—the rejection or confession of Jesus as Lord [Alford] (요일4:2; 5:1). Paul gives a test of truth against the Gentiles; John, against the false prophets.
by the Spirit—rather, as Greek, "IN the Spirit"; that being the power pervading him, and the element in which he speaks [Alford], (마16:17; 요15:26).
of God … Holy—The same Spirit is called at one time "the Spirit of God"; at another, "the HOLY Ghost," or "Holy Spirit." Infinite Holiness is almost synonymous with Godhead.
speaking … say—"Speak" implies the act of utterance; "say" refers to that which is uttered. Here, "say" means a spiritual and believing confession of Him.
Jesus—not an abstract doctrine, but the historical, living God-man (롬10:9).
accursed—as the Jews and Gentiles treated Him (갈3:13). Compare "to curse Christ" in the heathen Pliny's letter [Epistles, 10.97]. The spiritual man feels Him to be the Source of all blessings (엡1:3) and to be severed from Him is to be accursed (롬9:3).
Lord—acknowledging himself as His servant (사26:13). "Lord" is the Septuagint translation for the incommunicable Hebrew name Jehovah.
【고전12:4 JFB】4. diversities of gifts—that is, varieties of spiritual endowments peculiar to the several members of the Church: compare "dividing to every man severally" (고전12:11).
same Spirit—The Holy Trinity appears here: the Holy Spirit in this verse; Christ in 고전12:5; and the Father in 고전12:6. The terms "gifts," "administrations," and "operations," respectively correspond to the Divine Three. The Spirit is treated of in 고전12:7, &c.; the Lord, in 고전12:12, &c.; God, in 고전12:28. (Compare 엡4:4-6).
【고전12:5 JFB】5, 6. "Gifts" (고전12:4), "administrations" (the various functions and services performed by those having the gifts, compare 고전12:28), and "operations" (the actual effects resulting from both the former, through the universally operative power of the one Father who is "above all, through all, and in us all"), form an ascending climax [Henderson, Inspiration].
same Lord—whom the Spirit glorifies by these ministrations [Bengel].
【고전12:6 JFB】6. operations—(Compare 고전12:10).
same God … worketh—by His Spirit working (고전12:11).
all in all—all of them (the "gifts") in all the persons (who possess them).
【고전12:7 JFB】7. But—Though all the gifts flow from the one God, Lord, and Spirit, the "manifestation" by which the Spirit acts (as He is hidden in Himself), varies in each individual.
to every man—to each of the members of the Church severally.
to profit withal—with a view to the profit of the whole body.
【고전12:8 JFB】8-10. Three classes of gifts are distinguished by a distinct Greek word for "another" (a distinct class), marking the three several genera: allo marks the species, hetero the genera (compare Greek,고전15:39-41). I. Gifts of intellect, namely, (1) wisdom; (2) knowledge. II. Gifts dependent on a special faith, namely, that of miracles (마17:20): (1) healings; (2) workings of miracles; (3) prophecy of future events; (4) discerning of spirits, or the divinely given faculty of distinguishing between those really inspired, and those who pretended to inspiration. III. Gifts referring to the tongues: (1) diverse kinds of tongues; (2) interpretation of tongues. The catalogue in 고전12:28 is not meant strictly to harmonize with the one here, though there are some particulars in which they correspond. The three genera are summarily referred to by single instances of each in 고전13:8. The first genus refers more to believers; the second, to unbelievers.
by … by … by—The first in Greek is, "By means of," or "through the operation of"; the second is, "according to" the disposing of (compare 고전12:11); the third is, "in," that is, under the influence of (so the Greek,마22:43; Lu 2:27).
word of wisdom—the ready utterance of (for imparting to others, 엡6:19) wisdom, namely, new revelations of the divine wisdom in redemption, as contrasted with human philosophy (고전1:24; 2:6, 7; 엡1:8; 3:10; 골2:3).
word of knowledge—ready utterance supernaturally imparted of truths ALREADY REVEALED (in this it is distinguished from "the word of wisdom," which related to NEW revelations). Compare 고전14:6, where "revelation" (answering to "wisdom" here) is distinguished from "knowledge" [Henderson]. Wisdom or revelation belonged to the "prophets"; knowledge, to the "teachers." Wisdom penetrates deeper than knowledge. Knowledge relates to things that are to be done. Wisdom, to things eternal: hence, wisdom is not, like knowledge, said to "pass away" (고전13:8), [Bengel].
【고전12:9 JFB】9. faith—not of doctrines, but of miracles: confidence in God, by the impulse of His Spirit, that He would enable them to perform any required miracle (compare 고전13:2; 막11:23; 약5:15). Its nature, or principle, is the same as that of saving faith, namely, reliance on God; the producing cause, also, in the same,' namely, a power altogether supernatural (엡1:19, 20). But the objects of faith differ respectively. Hence, we see, saving faith does not save by its instrinsic merit, but by the merits of Him who is the object of it.
healing—Greek plural, "healings"; referring to different kinds of disease which need different kinds of healing (마10:1).
【고전12:10 JFB】10. working of miracles—As "healings" are miracles, those here meant must refer to miracles of special and extraordinary POWER (so the Greek for "miracles" means); for example, healings might be effected by human skill in course of time; but the raising of the dead, the infliction of death by a word, the innocuous use of poisons, &c., are miracles of special power. Compare 막6:5; 행19:11.
prophecy—Here, probably, not in the wider sense of public teaching by the Spirit (고전11:4, 5; 14:1-5, 22-39); but, as its position between "miracles" and a "discerning of spirits" implies, the inspired disclosure of the future (행11:27, 28; 21:11; 딤전1:18), [Henderson]. It depends on "faith" (고전12:9; 롬12:6). The prophets ranked next to the apostles (고전12:28; 엡3:5; 4:11). As prophecy is part of the whole scheme of redemption, an inspired insight into the obscurer parts of the existing Scriptures, was the necessary preparation for the miraculous foresight of the future.
discerning of spirits—discerning between the operation of God's Spirit, and the evil spirit, or unaided human spirit (고전14:29; compare 딤전4:1; 요일4:1).
kinds of tongues—the power of speaking various languages: also a spiritual language unknown to man, uttered in ecstasy (고전14:2-12). This is marked as a distinct genus in the Greek, "To another and a different class."
interpretation of tongues—(고전14:13, 26, 27).
【고전12:11 JFB】11. as he will—(고전12:18; 히2:4).
【고전12:12 JFB】12, 13. Unity, not unvarying uniformity, is the law of God in the world of grace, as in that of nature. As the many members of the body compose an organic whole and none can be dispensed with as needless, so those variously gifted by the Spirit, compose a spiritual organic whole, the body of Christ, into which all are baptized by the one Spirit.
of that one body—Most of the oldest manuscripts omit "one."
so also is Christ—that is, the whole Christ, the head and body. So 시18:50, "His anointed (Messiah or Christ), David (the antitypical David) and His seed."
【고전12:12 MHCC】Christ and his church form one body, as Head and members. Christians become members of this body by baptism. The outward rite is of Divine institution; it is a sign of the new birth, and is called therefore the washing of regeneration, 딛3:5. But it is by the Spirit, only by the renewing of the Holy Ghost, that we are made members of Christ's body. And by communion with Christ at the Lord's supper, we are strengthened, not by drinking the wine, but by drinking into one Spirit. Each member has its form, place, and use. The meanest makes a part of the body. There must be a distinction of members in the body. So Christ's members have different powers and different places. We should do the duties of our own place, and not murmur, or quarrel with others. All the members of the body are useful and necessary to each other. Nor is there a member of the body of Christ, but may and ought to be useful to fellow-members. As in the natural body of man, the members should be closely united by the strongest bonds of love; the good of the whole should be the object of all. All Christians are dependent one upon another; each is to expect and receive help from the rest. Let us then have more of the spirit of union in our religion.
【고전12:13 JFB】13. by … Spirit … baptized—literally, "in"; in virtue of; through. The designed effect of baptism, which is realized when not frustrated by the unfaithfulness of man.
Gentiles—literally, "Greeks."
all made to drink into one Spirit—The oldest manuscripts read, "Made to drink of one Spirit," omitting "into" (요7:37). There is an indirect allusion to the Lord's Supper, as there is a direct allusion to baptism in the beginning of the verse. So the "Spirit, the water, and the blood" (요일5:8), similarly combine the two outward signs with the inward things signified, the Spirit's grace.
are … have been—rather as Greek, "were … were" (the past tense).
【고전12:14 JFB】14. Translate, "For the body also." The analogy of the body, not consisting exclusively of one, but of many members, illustrates the mutual dependence of the various members in the one body, the Church. The well-known fable of the belly and the other members, spoken by Menenius Agrippa, to the seceding commons [Livy, 2.32], was probably before Paul's mind, stored as it was with classical literature.
【고전12:15 JFB】15. The humbler members ought not to disparage themselves, or to be disparaged by others more noble (고전12:21, 22).
foot … hand—The humble speaks of the more honorable member which most nearly resembles itself: so the "ear" of the "eye" (the nobler and more commanding member, 민10:31), (고전12:16). As in life each compares himself with those whom he approaches nearest in gifts, not those far superior. The foot and hand represent men of active life; the ear and eye, those of contemplative life.
【고전12:17 JFB】17. Superior as the eye is, it would not do if it were the sole member to the exclusion of the rest.
【고전12:18 JFB】18. now—as the case really is.
every one—each severally.
【고전12:19 JFB】19. where were the body—which, by its very idea, "hath many members" (고전12:12, 14), [Alford].
【고전12:20 JFB】20. now—as the case really is: in contrast to the supposition (고전12:19; compare 고전12:18).
many members—mutually dependent.
【고전12:21 JFB】21. The higher cannot dispense with the lower members.
【고전12:22 JFB】22. more feeble—more susceptible of injury: for example, the brain, the belly, the eye. Their very feebleness, so far from doing away with the need for them, calls forth our greater care for their preservation, as being felt "necessary."
【고전12:23 JFB】23. less honourable—"We think" the feet and the belly "less honorable," though not really so in the nature of things.
bestow … honour—putting shoes on (Margin) the feet, and clothes to cover the belly.
uncomely parts—the secret parts: the poorest, though unclad in the rest of the body, cover these.
【고전12:24 JFB】24. tempered … together—on the principle of mutual compensation.
to that part which lacked—to the deficient part [Alford], (고전12:23).
【고전12:25 JFB】25. no schism—(compare 고전12:21)—no disunion; referring to the "divisions" noticed (고전11:18).
care one for another—that is, in behalf of one another.
【고전12:26 JFB】26. And—Accordingly.
all … suffer with it—"When a thorn enters the heel, the whole body feels it, and is concerned: the back bends, the belly and thighs contract themselves, the hands come forward and draw out the thorn, the head stoops, and the eyes regard the affected member with intense gaze" [Chrysostom].
rejoice with it—"When the head is crowned, the whole man feels honored, the mouth expresses, and the eyes look, gladness" [Chrysostom].
【고전12:27 JFB】27. members in particular—that is, severally members of it. Each church is in miniature what the whole aggregate of churches is collectively, "the body of Christ" (compare 고전3:16): and its individual components are members, every one in his assigned place.
【고전12:27 MHCC】Contempt, hatred, envy, and strife, are very unnatural in Christians. It is like the members of the same body being without concern for one another, or quarrelling with each other. The proud, contentious spirit that prevailed, as to spiritual gifts, was thus condemned. The offices and gifts, or favours, dispensed by the Holy Spirit, are noticed. Chief ministers; persons enabled to interpret Scripture; those who laboured in word and doctrine; those who had power to heal diseases; such as helped the sick and weak; such as disposed of the money given in charity by the church, and managed the affairs of the church; and such as could speak divers languages. What holds the last and lowest rank in this list, is the power to speak languages; how vain, if a man does so merely to amuse or to exalt himself! See the distribution of these gifts, not to every one alike, ver. #(29, 30). This were to make the church all one, as if the body were all ear, or all eye. The Spirit distributes to every one as he will. We must be content though we are lower and less than others. We must not despise others, if we have greater gifts. How blessed the Christian church, if all the members did their duty! Instead of coveting the highest stations, or the most splendid gifts, let us leave the appointment of his instruments to God, and those in whom he works by his providence. Remember, those will not be approved hereafter who seek the chief places, but those who are most faithful to the trust placed in them, and most diligent in their Master's work.
【고전12:28 JFB】28. set … in the church—as He has "set the members … in the body" (고전12:18).
first apostles—above even the prophets. Not merely the Twelve, but others are so called, for example, Barnabas, &c. (롬16:7).
teachers—who taught, for the most part, truths already revealed; whereas the prophets made new revelations and spoke all their prophesyings under the Spirit's influence. As the teachers had the "word of knowledge," so the prophets "the word of wisdom" (고전12:8). Under "teachers" are included "evangelists and pastors."
miracles—literally, "powers" (고전12:10): ranked below "teachers," as the function of teaching is more edifying, though less dazzling than working miracles.
helps, governments—lower and higher departments of "ministrations" (고전12:5); as instances of the former, deacons whose office it was to help in the relief of the poor, and in baptizing and preaching, subordinate to higher ministers (행6:1-10; 8:5-17); also, others who helped with their time and means, in the Lord's cause (compare 고전13:13; 민11:17). The Americans similarly use "helps" for "helpers." And, as instances of the latter, presbyters, or bishops, whose office it was to govern the Church (딤전5:17; 히13:17, 24). These officers, though now ordinary and permanent, were originally specially endowed with the Spirit for their office, whence they are here classified with other functions of an inspired character. Government (literally, "guiding the helm" of affairs), as being occupied with external things, notwithstanding the outward status it gives, is ranked by the Spirit with the lower functions. Compare "He that giveth" (answering to "helps")—"he that ruleth" (answering to "governments") (롬12:8). Translate, literally, "Helpings, governings" [Alford].
diversities of tongues—(고전12:10). "Divers kinds of tongues."
【고전12:29 JFB】29. Are all?—Surely not.
