C 1Co 9:9
From Sensus Plenior
∞ Paul unpacks the sensus plenior from De 25:4.
Written for our sakes? Who else could it be for?
- God? Certainly not. He has no need to write things for himself.
- Jesus? Yes. Jesus said that all the scripture speak of him. [1]
- Us? Of course. Since we are separated from God by ignorance; Elohim, he makes himself known through revelation; Israel.
- The cow? No. The cow has been given to man to have dominion over. By instructing us in the care of animals, he instructs us in his own character.
Plow -uncover the hidden
Threshing - obtaining the fruit from the hiding place. Tribulation on the part of the one being threshed.
1Co 9:10 Or saith he [it] altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, [this] is written: that he that ploweth חרש should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth דיש in hope should be partaker of his hope.
Heb 11:6 But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.- ↑ Christ in all the scriptures
