I Corinthians and II Corinthians: Commentary
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
This ten-volume set of commentaries is written in everyday English. Dr. Adams, using an everyman style, explains and applies biblical truths in the clear, understandable way that typifies his writings. He does not try to duplicate the standard, more technical commentaries but supplements them with the implications of the text for God-honoring counseling and Christian living. This resource includes the commentary on 1 & 2 Corinthians.
Top Highlights
“He knew that all who live godly lives ‘will suffer persecution’ sooner or later.” (Page 102)
“Untold agony is suffered by those who regularly court the good opinion of others. It is an idolatry that displaces Jesus Christ and places others on His throne.” (Page 28)
“In His time and way, God will bring the trial (test, temptation) to an end, in order that you may bear it” (Page 65)
“God will not allow you to be tested beyond that which you are able to bear” (Page 65)
“Counselors who rightly enlist other members of the congregation to help in the repair and restoration of one member who is suffering encourage cohesion. This is to be sought at all costs. One ought not try to do everything himself—even as a counselor. It is important to seek ways of bringing in the aid of others. After all, says Paul, all are involved already since when one suffers, all suffer with him (v. 26). Counselees must be brought to the place where they readily accept the assistance of others.” (Page 79)
