Gill's Notes on the Bible
And this I do for the Gospel's sake,.... The Alexandrian copy and some others read, "all things I do", c. and so the Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic versions that is, he became all things to all men, and so and so to different persons; not for his own sake, for his own temporal advantage, or to curry favour with men; not for the sake of gaining wealth, or honour and applause to himself, but for the spread of the Gospel, and its greater usefulness among men: to which he adds,
that I might be partaker thereof with you; meaning either the fruit of the Gospel, the conversion and salvation of sinners, which would be matter of joy both to him and them; or the blessings of grace and eternal life, which the Gospel reveals and promises, which he desired to enjoy in common with others, not only with the Corinthians, for the word "you" is not in the original text, but with Jews and Gentiles; with men of all sorts, who may be gained over to Christ, and saved by him, through the ministry of the word.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
For the gospelâs sake - That it may be advanced, and may be successful.
That I might be partaker thereof with you - You hope to be saved. You regard yourselves as Christians; and I wish to give evidence also that âIâ am a Christian, and that I shall be admitted to heaven to partake of the happiness of the redeemed. This he did, by so denying himself as to give evidence that he was truly actuated by Christian principles.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 23. And this I do for the Gospel's sake — Instead of ÏÎ¿Ï Ïο, this, ÏανÏα, all things, (I do all things for the Gospel's sake,) is the reading of ABCDEFG, several others, the Coptic, AEthiopic, Vulgate, Itala, Armenian, and Sahidic; the two latter reading ÏÎ±Ï Ïα ÏανÏα, all these things.
Several of the fathers have the same reading, and there is much reason to believe it to be genuine.
That I might be partaker thereof with you. — That I might attain to the reward of eternal life which it sets before me; and this is in all probability the meaning of Ïο ÎµÏ Î±Î³Î³ÎµÎ»Î¹Î¿Î½, which we translate the Gospel, and which should be rendered here prize or reward; this is a frequent meaning of the original word, as may be seen in my preface to St. Matthew: I do all this for the sake of the prize, that I may partake of it with you.
