I Corinthians on Hebrew Bible interpretation

This blog post about Hebrew Bible study is written from a Christian point of view. I believe that 1st Corinthians teaches how to interpret Hebrew Bible.

(I am able to wisely interpret not every verse of I Corinthians, so I will explain some verses and skip some others.)

1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes, 2 to the assembly of God which is at Corinth; those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours: 3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

"Sosthenes" being translated means "safe strength". So our topic is how to receive the strength of Hebrew Bible in a safe way (not using it for evil).

The derivation of the word "Corinth" is unknown, but it is closely associated with speaking tongues. So our topic is linguistics.

The letter is addressed to (all) "the assembly of God which is at Corinth; those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place". This means that **all** Gospel believers are called to read Bible in Hebrew.

"Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ" is the purpose of studying Hebrew Bible in Hebrew, it is to receive more grace and peace.

4 I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus; 5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge

This refers to the fact that we are "enriched" by God by the speech and knowledge of Hebrew Bible which is to read in Hebrew.

6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you

Hebrew Bible should be understood as a "ciphered" message about Christ ("the testimony of Christ").

7 so that you come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ

We will be not "behind" any gift, if we read revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ in Hebrew Bible.

8 who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I suppose that this means that the "end" (the day of our Lord Jesus Christ) will happen when we will bring to the end study of Hebrew Bible.

9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

We will be in this fellowship if we carefully study spiritual sense of Hebrew Bible.
