1 Corinthians 7:17

The Circumstances of Your Calling

7:17 Nevertheless,⁵ as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each person, so must he live. I give this sort of direction in all the churches.

1 Corinthians 9:9-10

9:9 For it is written in the law of Moses, “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.”⁶ God is not concerned here about oxen, is he? 9:10 Or is he not surely speaking for our benefit?

¹tn Grk “time, until the Lord comes, who will bring to light.”

²tn Or “praise.”

³tc ‡ Several important mss read ᾿Ιησοῦ (Ihsou, “Jesus”) after Χριστῷ (Cristw, “Christ”) in v. 17 (so Ì⁴⁶ א C D¹ 33 1739 al). Western mss have κυρίῳ ᾿Ιησοῦ (kuriw Ihsou, “Lord Jesus”; D* F G), while several significant mss, as well as the majority, have only Χριστῷ here (A B D² Ψ Ï sa). Once ᾿Ιησοῦ got into the text, it would continue to be copied. There is however no easy explanation for the word lacking in so many witnesses. Thus the shorter reading appears to be original. NA²⁷ includes ᾿Ιησοῦ in brackets, indicating doubt as to its authenticity.

⁴sn I, not the Lord. Here and in v. 10 Paul distinguishes between his own apostolic instruction and Jesus’ teaching during his earthly ministry. In vv. 12-16, Paul deals with a situation about which the Lord gave no instruction in his earthly ministry.

⁵tn Or “only”; Grk “if not.”

⁶sn A quotation from Deut 25:4.

⁷tn Grk “how can someone who fills the place of the unlearned say ‘Amen.’”

⁸sn A quotation from Ps 8:6.

⁹tn Since Paul appears to expect specific delegates here and they were most likely men, the Greek word ἀδελφοί (adelfoi) here has not been not translated as “brothers and sisters.”
