哥林多前书 12章28节 到 12章28节     上一笔  下一笔
 {God hath set some} (hous men etheto ho theos). See verse
 18  for etheto ho theos. Note middle voice (for his own use).
Paul begins as if he means to say hous men apostolous, hous de
proph(8874)as (some apostles, some prophets), but he changes the
construction and has no hous de, but instead pr(9374)on, deuteron,
epeita (first, second, then, etc.). {In the church} (en t(8869)
ekkl(8873)i(8369)). The general sense of ekkl(8873)ia as in  Mt 16:18  and
later in  Col 1:18,24  Eph 5:23,32  Heb 12:23 . See list also in
 Eph 4:11 . See on 烘t 10:2| for apostolous, the official title
given the twelve by Jesus, and claimed by Paul though not one of
the twelve. {Prophets} (proph(8874)as). For-speakers for God and
Christ. See the list of prophets and teachers in  Ac 13:1  with
Barnabas first and Saul last. Prophets are needed today if men
will let God's Spirit use them, men moved to utter the deep
things of God. {Teachers} (didaskalous). Old word from
didask(935c), 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(8874)(936e), gl(9373)s(936e)) in verses  9,10  with
gl(9373)s(936e), last again. But these two new terms (helps,
governments). {Helps} (antil(886d)pseis). 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(8873)eis).
Old word from kuberna(935c) (cf. Kubern(8874)(8873) 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(8867)oumenoi 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.
