1 Corinthians 04 General Notes

Special concepts in this chapter

Pride

Paul contrasts the Corinthians' pride with the humbleness of the apostles. The Corinthian believers have no reason to be proud because all that they have, and all they are, is a gift from God. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/apostle)

Important figures of speech in this chapter

Metaphors

There are many metaphors in this chapter. The apostles are described as servants. Paul speaks of a victory parade where the apostles are the prisoners who will be killed. He uses a rod to stand for punishment. He calls himself their father because he is their "spiritual father." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/spirit)

Irony

Paul uses irony to shame the pride of the Corinthians. The Corinthian believers are reigning but the apostles are suffering. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-irony)
