Verse 11.— If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God. Where one speaks in matters pertaining to Christian doctrine or duty, he must do so with the utmost fidelity to God's word. This he is urged to do by the apostle with the greatest emphasis. If any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth. This, I take it, refers to administering to the necessities of the saints. In such cases the giving is to be measured by the greatness of the supply from on high. That God in all things may be glorified. The prime purpose of speaking as the oracles of God speak, and of ministering to the saints liberally, is that therein God's will is observed, and God thereby reverenced and glorified. Through Christ. Every gift from God under the present economy is through his Son Jesus Christ, and to that gracious giver the apostle ascribes the doxology of praise and dominion forever. Amen.
