1:1 called (f-7) 'A called apostle,' i.e. an apostle by (divine) calling. Cf. ver. 7 'called saints,' and see note there.

12:2 conformed (i-4) As [1 Peter 1:14](../../../kjv/1-peter/1/14) . 'world' as [1 Corinthians 1:20](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/1/20) . prove (k-20) Lit. 'to your proving.'

12:3 wise, (l-37) So as to have a sober judgment, 'to think soberly,' as 'sensible,' [Luke 8:35](../../../kjv/luke/8/35) .

12:8 simplicity; (m-11) Or 'with liberality;' from 'giving without hesitation,' or 'not avoiding to give on false excuses,' it has come to mean 'readily and liberally.'

12:10 it (a-19) 'Taking the lead in paying it' is a paraphrase, but I know not how to present the sense more briefly.

12:11 spirit (b-8) Or 'by the Spirit.' See Note at ch. 8.9. serving (c-10) The word means 'to serve as a bondman' *douleuo* . It is different from the words used for service in ver. 1 (which is from *latreuo* ), and for service in ver. 7 (which is from *diakoneo* ). See [1 Corinthians 4:1](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/4/1) .

12:16 lowly. (d-17) Or 'with what is lowly.'

12:17 providing (e-8) Taking care by forethought that there should be what is comely and seemly. See 'forethought,' ch. 13.14; [2 Corinthians 8:21](../../../kjv/2-corinthians/8/21) .

12:19 written, (f-13) See [Deuteronomy 32:35](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/32/35) .

12:20 head. (g-27) See [Proverbs 25:21-22](../../../kjv/proverbs/25/21-22) .
