Corinthians Quotes

• No buscamos las experiencias dolorosas que forjan nuestra identidad, sino que buscamos nuestra identidad tras las experiencias dolorosas. No podemos soportar un tormento inútil, pero podemos soportar un gran dolor si creemos que tiene un propósito. La facilidad nos impresiona menos que la lucha. Podríamos ser nosotros mismos sin nuestros deleites, pero no sin las desgracias que impulsan nuestra búsqueda de sentido. Por eso me complazco en las debilidades", escribió San Pablo en la Segunda Epístola a los Corintios, "porque cuando soy débil, entonces soy fuerte".

• Jesus did not bathe this planet with his blood to have you serve the world, the flesh, and the devil. He died to make you holy. You are not your own. First Corinthians 6:20 says 'For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.'

• God comes right out and tells us why he gives us more money than we need. It's not so we can find more ways to spend it. It's not so we can indulge ourselves and spoil our children. It's not so we can insulate ourselves from needing God's provision. It's so we can give and give generously (2 Corinthians 8:14; 9:11)

• Me encanta una declaración del apóstol Pablo, en el libro de Filipenses de la Biblia. Creo que los Corintios habían estado escribiendo a Pablo, diciéndole que los hombres mayores perseguían a las mujeres jóvenes, que nadie diezmaba - y todo eso debe haber vuelto loco a Pablo. Él respondió: "Si hay algo bueno, hablad de ello". Ese es uno de mis principios, otra disciplina que me animo a emplear: en la medida de lo posible, decir lo que es cortés y hacerlo.

• Solía tener que hacer lecturas en la iglesia, y era aterrador. Nunca tendría mis gafas. Las palabras están impresas tan pequeñas que hasta Superman se pondría nervioso. Y estás leyendo de la Biblia. No puedes inventarte algo e improvisar. "Una lectura de la carta de San Pablo a los Corintios". Uhhh. Queridos Corintios, ... ¿Cómo estuvo su fin de semana? Seguro que hace calor aquí. Uh, dile a Jesús 'Hey'. Esta es la palabra del Señor.

• He does have surprising, secret purposes. I open a Bible, and His plans, startling, lie there barefaced. It’s hard to believe it, when I read it, and I have to come back to it many times, feel long across those words, make sure they are real. His love letter forever silences any doubts: “His secret purpose framed from the very beginning [is] to bring us to our full glory” (1 Corinthians 2:7 NEB).

• When we see what He has for us there, we'll agree with Paul, when he wrote about Heaven, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him (1 Corinthians 2:9). - Things we didn't even imagine could be so beautiful and wonderful.

• Youths of the Pellaians and of the Macedonians and of the Hellenic Amphictiony and of the Lakedaimonians and of the Corinthians... and of all the Hellenic peoples, join your fellow-soldiers and entrust yourselves to me, so that we can move against the barbarians and liberate ourselves from the Persian bondage, for as Greeks we should not be slaves to barbarians.

• Había una sección en Primera de Corintios 13 que habla de (mostrar) paciencia, amabilidad, cortesía, cómo puedo demostrar perdón a mis hijos y disfrutar más plenamente de ellos a medida que crecen y viceversa. Y así, cada uno de ellos tiene un día de viaje. Hay 40 días que la gente pasará aplicando estos principios bíblicos a sus hijos. Los explicamos en términos sencillos para que sea realmente fácil comprender un principio.

• Puedes tener grandes proyectos y llevarlos a cabo por medio de algunas de las cosas más pequeñas. O puedes utilizar medios débiles que son más eficaces que los fuertes, como decía también Pablo en su Primera Carta a los Corintios. [...] La sabiduría del discernimiento redime la necesaria ambigüedad de la vida y nos ayuda a encontrar los medios más adecuados, que no siempre coinciden con lo que parece grande y fuerte.

• Many New Testament scholars have observed that the conception of the resurrection body implied in 1 Corinthians 15 clashes so violently with that presupposed in the gospels that the latter must be dismissed as secondary embellishments, especially as 1 Corinthians predates the gospels.

• By itself, 1 Corinthians 15 just wouldn't mean much. He wants the appearances of 1 Corinthians 15:3-11 to be read as if they had in parentheses after them 'See Luke 24; Matthew 28; John 21.'

• The solution to staying on the right side of the fine line between using and abusing grace is repentance. The road to repentance is godly sorrow (2 Corinthians 7:10). Godly sorrow is developed when we focus on the true nature of sin as an offense against God rather than something that makes us feel guilty.

• The construction of temples of the Ionic order to Juno, Diana, Father Bacchus, and the other gods of that kind, will be in keeping with the middle position which they hold; for the building of such will be an appropriate combination of the severity of the Doric and the delicacy of the Corinthian.

• Una mujer francesa es una perfecta arquitecta en el vestir: nunca, con ignorancia gótica, mezcla los órdenes; nunca engaña una esnob forma dórica con galas corintias; o, para hablar sin metáfora, se ajusta a la moda general sólo cuando resulta que no repugna a la belleza privada.

• This is the highest honour of the Church, that, until He is united to us, the Son of God reckons himself in some measure imperfect. What consolation is it for us to learn, that, not until we are along with him, does he possess all his parts, or wish to be regarded as complete! Hence, in the First Epistle to the Corinthians, when the apostle discusses largely the metaphor of a human body, he includes under the single name of Christ the whole Church.

• First Corinthians so clearly says that whether we eat or drink, do it all to the glory of God. It's not just self. Jesus said ... in Matthew 16, 'Deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Me.' The Osteens have just inverted that. They think it's not the denial of self, but the exaltation of self. They're not trying to pursue a cross; they're trying to pursue prosperity. And they're certainly not following the biblical Jesus. They're following whatever brings happiness and contentment.

• When members unite with the church, they should not only make a profession of faith in Christ (that is essential), but in light of 2 Corinthians 10:6 and Hebrews 13:17, etc., they should also agree to submit to the authority and discipline of the church, should they be found delinquent in doctrine or life.
