Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

For I delivered unto you - See the note at 1Co 11:23. “First of all.” Among the first doctrines which I preached. As the leading and primary doctrines of Christianity. That which I also received - Which had been communicated to me. Not doctrines of which I was the author, or which were to be regarded as my own. Paul here refers to the fact that he had received these doctrines from the Lord Jesus by inspiration; compare the 1Co 10:23, note; Gal 1:2, note.
