18:7-11 The Lord knows those that are his, yea, and those that shall be his; for it is by his work upon them that they become his.

He will gather in his chosen flock from the places where they are scattered Thus encouraged, the apostle continued at Corinth, and a numerous and flourishing church grew up.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
