25. no commandment of the Lord: yet . . . my judgment —I have no express revelation from the Lord commanding it, but I give my judgment (opinion); namely, under the ordinary inspiration which accompanied the apostles in all their canonical writings (compare 1 Corinthians 7:40 ; 1 Corinthians 14:37 ; 1 Thessalonians 4:15 ). The Lord inspires me in this case to give you only a recommendation, which you are free to adopt or reject—not a positive command. In the second case ( 1 Corinthians 7:10 ; 1 Corinthians 7:11 ) it was a positive command; for the Lord had already made known His will ( Malachi 2:14 ; Malachi 2:15 ; Matthew 5:31 ; Matthew 5:32 ). In the third case ( Matthew 5:32- : ), the Old Testament commandment of God to put away strange wives ( Ezra 10:3 ), Paul by the Spirit revokes. mercy of the Lord — ( Ezra 10:3- : ). He attributes his apostleship and the gifts accompanying it (including inspiration) to God's grace alone. faithful —in dispensing to you the inspired directions received by me from the Lord. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-26" class="com-number"
