Bible Commentary for 1 Corinthians 2:8

Wesley's Notes for 1 Corinthians 2:8


2:8 Had they known it - That wisdom. They would not have crucified - Punished as a slave. The Lord of glory - The giving Christ this august title, peculiar to the great Jehovah, plainly shows him to be the supreme God. In like manner the Father is styled, the Father of glory, #Eph 1:17|; and the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of glory, #1Pet 4:14|. The application of this title to all the three, shows that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are the God of glory; as the only true God is called, #Psa 29:3|, and #Acts 7:2|.
