1:2 saints, (a-17) Saints by [divine] calling.

1:4 of (b-10) I am not quite satisfied with 'in respect of.' It is *epi* with the dative, which has the force of 'the occasion of,' or condition under which anything happens, not its cause.

1:5 word (c-12) *Logos* , whatever is the expression of a thought formed in the mind, and otherwise unknown; hence used for the thing *expressed* , or the expression of it. hence 'word.' Here it is the communication of the mind of God in the gospel of Christ. (See ch. 2.1.) I retain 'word' in the expression 'all word, and all knowledge,' adding 'of doctrine' in brackets, because 'in all word' is scarcely English, and the 'word of doctrine' is, I believe, the sense here. 'Utterance' gives the sense imperfectly. It is the matter and form of thought and expression, as well as the utterance of it. It is a word so large in sense as to be very hard to express. Whatever expresses the mind is *logos* . *Nous* (ch. 2.16, 'mind') is the intelligent faculty. whatever expresses the thought formed in it is *logos* . There is thus the intelligent and the intelligible. Thus all that communicates the divine mind (the intelligible) is *logos* , and first of all Christ himself. But we are said, having the Holy Spirit, to have also the 'mind' of Christ, the intelligent faculty with its thoughts (ch. 2.16).

1:7 awaiting (d-9) 'Awaiting' expresses actual expectation.

1:9 fellowship (e-12) *Koinonia* . as ch. 10.16. see Notes, [Hebrews 2:14](../../../kjv/hebrews/2/14) .

1:10 exhort (f-3) Or 'beseech,' as [Acts 16:40](../../../kjv/acts/16/40) . united (g-34) Where all the members have each its own place, or make a whole; or, if broken, are restored to one complete whole, as 'mending,' [Matthew 4:21](../../../kjv/matthew/4/21) .

1:18 word (a-3) Or 'the word ( *logos* ) which [speaks] of the cross.'

1:19 written, (b-4) See [Isaiah 29:14](../../../kjv/isaiah/29/14) .

1:20 world? (c-11) *Aion* . age, or course of this world, see chs. 2.6 (twice), 3.18. world? (d-21) *Kosmos* , the usual word for world. see chs. 3.19; 6.2; [Hebrews 9:1](../../../kjv/hebrews/9/1) .

1:21 world (d-9) *Kosmos* , the usual word for world. see chs. 3.19; 6.2; [Hebrews 9:1](../../../kjv/hebrews/9/1) . preaching (e-25) ' *The* preaching' gives a different sense from 'preaching.' Without the article it is the instrument, the foolishness of such a means. Here 'the preaching' is the actual thing preached; and such is the force of the Greek.

1:23 offence, (f-9) Lit. 'fall-trap,' as [Matthew 13:57](../../../kjv/matthew/13/57) .

1:27 wise; (g-18) Or 'those that are wise,' alluding to ver. 26. the word is masculine.

1:30 holiness, (h-21) *Hagiasmos* . See Note i at [Romans 1:4](../../../kjv/romans/1/4) .

1:31 written, (i-6) See [Isaiah 45:25](../../../kjv/isaiah/45/25) ; [Jeremiah 9:24](../../../kjv/jeremiah/9/24) . Lord. (k-15) *Kurios* without the article, for 'Jehovah.'
