1 Corinthians 4:2 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

Moreover. 'Aleph (') A B C Delta G, Vulgate, read х hoode (G5602) loipon (G3063)] 'Moreover HERE'

(i:e., on earth): or the 'here' may be put at the close of the previous sentence, and 'moreover' at the beginning of the next (Lachmann) - 'stewards of the mysteries of God here.' Moreover, in the case of stewards, inquiry is made, that one may be found faithful-another argument against the Corinthian preferences of teachers for their gifts; whereas what is required in stewards is faithfulness (margin, 1 Samuel 3:20; Hebrews 3:5). But even as to this, God's stewards await not man's judgment to test them, but the testing which shall be in the day of the Lord.
