Blessed Discourse Doctrine Enriched Fulness Readiness Richly Sort Speaking Speech Utterance Way Wealth Word
1 Corinthians 1
1. After his salutation and thanksgiving for the Corinthians,
10. Paul exhorts them to unity,
12. and reproves their dissensions.
18. God destroys the wisdom of the wise,
21. by the foolishness of preaching;
26. and calls not the wise, mighty, and noble,
28. but the foolish, weak, and men of no account.














For in Him
This phrase emphasizes the centrality of Christ in the life of a believer. The Greek preposition "en" (ἐν) signifies a fixed position in place, time, or state, indicating that the enrichment comes from being in union with Christ. Historically, the city of Corinth was a hub of commerce and culture, yet Paul reminds the Corinthians that true enrichment is found not in worldly wealth or wisdom, but in their relationship with Jesus.

you have been enriched
The Greek word "ploutizō" (πλουτίζω) means to make wealthy or to bestow riches. This enrichment is not material but spiritual, indicating the vast spiritual resources available to believers. In the context of Corinth, known for its affluence and moral challenges, Paul contrasts the temporal riches of the world with the eternal riches found in Christ.

in every way
This phrase underscores the comprehensive nature of the enrichment believers receive. The Greek "panti" (παντί) suggests completeness and totality. It implies that there is no aspect of life untouched by the grace and gifts of God. Historically, the Corinthian church struggled with divisions and immorality, yet Paul assures them that God's grace is sufficient for all their needs.

in all speech
The Greek word "logos" (λόγος) refers to word, speech, or reason. In the context of Corinth, a city renowned for its rhetoric and philosophy, Paul highlights that the believers' ability to speak and communicate is enriched by God. This enrichment in speech is not just eloquence but the ability to proclaim the Gospel effectively and truthfully.

and all knowledge
The Greek term "gnōsis" (γνῶσις) signifies understanding or insight. In a culture that prized knowledge and wisdom, Paul points to a higher, divine knowledge that surpasses human understanding. This knowledge is not merely intellectual but is rooted in the revelation of God through Christ. It empowers believers to discern truth and live according to God's will.

(5) Ye are enriched.--Literally, ye were enriched. "Utterance" is the power of outward expression of that "knowledge" which dwells within.

Verse 5. - In everything; i.e. of course, every gift which belongs specially to the Christian life. In all utterance; i.e. in all "eloquence" (λόγῳ), or perhaps "in all doctrine" (so Luther, Calvin, Meyer, etc.). The word for" utterance" is rhema; logos means "discourse" and "reason" (comp. 2 Corinthians 8:7). Knowledge. From the word guests is derived the name Gnostic, which was applied to so many forms of ancient heresy. There was danger to the Corinthian Christians in the exaggerated estimate of what they took for gnosis, and many of them were tempted to pride themselves on purely intellectual attainments, which were valueless for the spiritual life. St. Clement of Rome also, in writing to them ('Ep. ad Corinthians 1.') speaks of their "mature and established knowledge."
