Audio (21:22)

Andrei Rublev, 'Apostle Paul' (1420s), tempera on wood, 160 x 109 cm, The Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow.

Paul has struggled with how to help the Corinthian church in its difficulty. He has written letters, he has made a short painful visit (see Introduction), but still the problems persist. In this lesson, he explains his change of plans to them and the reasons for the change. While we're not too interested now, two millennia later, in changes of plans, we do learn much from Paul's incidental teaching as he makes his explanation.

A Legacy of Godliness and Sincerity (1:12-14)

First, Paul affirms his sincerity in his relations with the Corinthians. Their current leaders manipulated and exploited them (11:20), but Paul reminds them that he didn't do this.

'Now this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves[37]in the world, and especially in our relations with you, in the holiness and sincerity that are from God. We have done so not according to worldly wisdom but according to God's grace.' (1:12)

Paul's demeanor towards the Corinthians has been characterized by openness and selflessness. He employs two words to indicate this. The first conveys the idea of singleness of motive, the second of being unmixed with other motives.

Simple love. James warns against double-mindedness (James 1:8; 4:8). Paul emphasizes his singleness of motive with the word haplotēs, from a root meaning 'single' as opposed to 'two-fold.'[38]
Sincerity. 'Sincerity' is eilikrineia, which has the basic meaning of 'unmixed, without alloy.' Here it is used in a moral sense, 'pertaining to being sincere, without hidden motives or pretense, pure.'[39]

Even his letters are clear and understandable.

'¹³For we do not write you anything you cannot read or understand. And I hope that,
¹⁴as you have understood us in part, you will come to understand fully that you can boast[40]of us just as we will boast of you in the day of the Lord Jesus.' (1:13-14)

Paul is seeking restoration of a relationship to the point where both he and the Corinthians admire each other so much that they are proud of each other.

Paul's Planned Visit to Corinth (1:15-18)

Now Paul tells them of his previous plans to visit them, not because of some selfish motive, but to benefit them.

'¹⁵Because I was confident of this, I planned to visit you first so that you might benefit[41]twice. ¹⁶I planned to visit you on my way to Macedonia and to come back to you from Macedonia, and then to have you send me on my way to Judea.' (1:15-16)

Paul planned to sail from Ephesus across the Aegean Sea to Corinth and stay with them for a while. Then travel by land north to Macedonia (Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea). Then after his time in Macedonia, return to Corinth for another visit. Then sail from Corinth (actually, from the nearby port of Cenchreae just east of Corinth) to Jerusalem, bearing a monetary gift to aid the poverty-stricken believers there.

His motive was pure, but now he feels he has to defend even his change of plans to his opponents in Corinth, who might take this as a pretext to criticize him for being indecisive and vacillating. So he explains:

'When I planned this, did I do it lightly?[42]Or do I make my plans in a worldly manner so that in the same breath I say, â€˜Yes, yes' and â€˜No, no'?'(1:17)

The Firm Promises of God (1:18-20)

Then Paul reinforces his sincerity and clarity of purpose by pointing to the clear, unequivocal message of Christ that he had brought to them.

'¹⁸But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not â€˜Yes' and â€˜No.' ¹⁹For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by me and Silas and Timothy, was not â€˜Yes' and â€˜No,' but in him it has always been â€˜Yes.' ²⁰For no matter how many promises God has made, they are â€˜Yes' in Christ. And so through him the â€˜Amen' is spoken by us to the glory of God. ²¹Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ.' (1:18-21)

Christ is the fulfillment of all of God's promises for Israel in the Old Testament. To which we respond: 'Amen,' a word transliterated from the Hebrew as a strong affirmation of something that has been stated, an expression of faith: 'let it be so, truly, amen.'[43]

Anointing, Seal, and Spirit (1:21b-22)

Not only is Christ the fulfillment of God's promises. Through Christ, God also acts on our behalf by the Holy Spirit.

'^21b Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us,
²²set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.' (1:21b-22)

Look at some of the blessings to us from the Holy Spirit:

Established. Through the Spirit we are firmly founded in Christ.[44]
Anointed. The idea of anointing by the Spirit is at least as old as Samuel anointing Saul and David with oil to be king, after which the Holy Spirit came upon them. In the New Testament, the term 'anointing,' putting oil on a person, is sometimes nearly synonymous with the Holy Spirit's presence in a Christian's life (1 John 2:20, 27). Here, the anointing of the Holy Spirit sets us apart for his service.[45]
Marked as God's property. In ancient times a seal marked a document, or item, or shipment as authentic and the property of the owner of the seal.[46]The Holy Spirit is the identifier that we belong to God. Indeed, Paul writes: 'If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ' (Romans 8:9).
Guaranteed eternal life. 'A deposit, guaranteeing what is to come' (NIV), 'a first installment' (NRSV), 'e
