1 Corinthians 4:11 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;

(2 C 11 23 27) (2 Corinthians 11:23-27.)

Naked - i:e., insufficiently clad (Romans 8:35; 2 Timothy 4:13).

Buffeted - as a slave (1 Peter 2:20), the reverse of the state of the Corinthians, 'reigning as kings' (Acts 23:2). Paul's master was "buffeted" when about to die a slave's death (Matthew 26:67).

Have no certain dwelling - like Jesus (Matthew 8:20).
