On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Observe here, What it was that the Corinthians abounded in. Faith is mentioned first, for that is the root; and, as without faith it is impossible to please God ( Heb. xi. 6 ), so those who abound in faith will abound in other graces and good works also; and this will work and show itself by love.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

in faith-- (2Co 1:24). utterance--(See on 1Co 1:5). Not as ALFORD, "doctrine" or "word." knowledge-- (1Co 8:1). diligence--in everything that is good. your love to us--literally, "love from you (that is, on your part) in us" (that is, which has us for its object; which is felt in the case of us).
