Word Pictures in the NT [1 Corinthians: Chapter 12]. \didask•\, to teach. Used to the Baptist (Lu 3:12), to Jesus (Joh 3:10; 13:13), and of Paul by himself along with \apostolos\ (1Ti 2:7). It is a calamity when the preacher is no longer a teacher, but only an exhorter. See Eph 4:11. {Then miracles} (\epeita dunameis\). Here a change is made from the concrete to the abstract. See the reverse in Ro 12:7. See these words (\dunameis, iam•t•n, gl•ss•n\) in verses 9,10 with \gl•ss•n\, last again. But these two new terms (helps, governments). {Helps} (\antil•mpseis\). Old word, from \antilambanomai\, to lay hold of. In LXX, common in papyri, here only in N.T. Probably refers to the work of the deacons, help rendered to the poor and the sick. {Governments} (\kubern•seis\). Old word from \kuberna•\ (cf. \Kubern•t•s\ in Ac 27:11) like Latin _gubernare_, our govern. So a governing. Probably Paul has in mind bishops (\episcopoi\) or elders (\presbuteroi\), the outstanding leaders (\hoi proistamenoi\ in 1Th 5:12; Ro 12:8; \hoi h•goumenoi\ in Ac 15:22; Heb 13:7,17,24). Curiously enough, these two offices (pastors and deacons) which are not named specifically are the two that survive today. See Php 1:1 for both officers. 12:29 {Are all} (\m• pantes\). The \m•\ expects a negative answer with each group. 12:30 {Do all interpret?} (\m• pantes dierm•neuousin?\). He adds this query to the list in 28, but it is in 10. 12:31 {The greater gifts} (\ta charismata ta meizona\). Paul unhesitatingly ranks some spiritual gifts above others. \Z•lo•\ here has good sense, not that of envy as in Ac 7:9; 1Co 13:4. {And a still more excellent way} (\kai eti kath' huperbol•n hodon\). In order to gain the greater gifts. "I show you a way _par excellence_," beyond all comparison (superlative idea in this adjunct, not comparative), like \kath' huperbol•n eis huperbol•n\ (2Co 4:17). \Huperbol•\ is old word from \huperball•\, to throw beyond, to surpass, to excel (2Co 3:10; Eph 1:19). "I show you a supremely excellent way." Chapter 1Co 13 is this way, the way of love already laid down in 8:1 concerning the question of meats offered to idols (cf. 1Jo 4:7). Poor division of chapters here. This verse belongs with chapter 1Co 13. http://www.ccel.org/r/robertson_at/wordpictures/htm/1CO12.RWP.html (8 of 9) [28/08/2004 09:11:51 a.m.]
