1 Corinthians 2:16 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

For - proof that the spiritual man "is judged of no man." In order to judge him, the natural man must 'know the mind, of the Lord.' But who of natural men 'knows' that?

That he may instruct him - i:e., so as to set Him right as His counselor (Isaiah 40:13-14, Septuagint х sumbibasei (G4822)].) Natural men, in judging spiritual men, who 'have the mind of the Lord,' are virtually wishing, as counselors, to set to right their KING.

We have the mind of Christ. So A C 'Aleph (') f; Vulgate. But B Delta G g, 'of the Lord'-in our degree of capability to apprehend it. Isaiah 40:1-31 refers to JEHOVAH; therefore, since it is applied here to Christ, He is Yahweh.
