[1] {words}
(1) The writers of Scripture invariably affirm, where the subject is
mentioned by them at all, that the words of their writings are
divinely taught. This, of necessity, refers to the original
documents, not to translations and versions; but the labours of
competent scholars have brought our English versions to a degree of
perfection so remarkable that we may confidently rest upon them as
authoritative.

# 1Co 2:9-14
gives the process by which a truth passes from the mind of God to the
minds of His people. (a) The unseen things of God are undiscoverable
by the natural man (v. 9). (b) These unseen things God has revealed
to chosen men (vs. 10-12). (c) The revealed things are communicated
in Spirit-taught words (v. 13). This implies neither mechanical
dictation nor the effacement of the writer's personality, but only
that the Spirit infallibly guides in the choice of words from the
writer's own vocabulary (v. 13). (d) These Spirit-taught words, in
which the revelation has been expressed, are discerned, as to their
true spiritual content, only by the spiritual among believers

[2] {natural man}
Paul divides men into three classes: psuchikos, "of the senses"
# Jas 3:15 Jude 1:19
or "natural," i.e. the Adamic man, unrenewed through the new birth
# Joh 3:3,5
pneumatikos, "spiritual," i.e. the renewed man as Spirit-filled and
walking in the Spirit in full communion with God
# Eph 5:18-20
and sarkikos, "carnal," "fleshly," i.e. the renewed man who, walking
"after the flesh," remains a babe in Christ
# 1Co 3:1-4
The natural man may be learned, gentle, eloquent, fascinating, but
the spiritual content of Scripture is absolutely hidden from him; and
the fleshly, or carnal, Christian is able to comprehend only its
simplest truths, "milk"
# 1Co 3:2

[1] {one}
Paul refutes the notion that he and Cephas and Apollos are at
variance, mere theologians and rival founders of sects: they are
"one."
# 1Co 3:22 16:12

[2] {reward}
God, in the N.T. Scriptures, offers to the lost, salvation, and, for
the faithful service of the saved, rewards. The passages are easily
distinguished by remembering that salvation is invariably spoken of
as a free gift (e.g.)
# Joh 4:10 Ro 6:23 Eph 2:8,9
while rewards are earned by works
# Mt 10:42 Lu 19:17 1Co 9:24,25 2Ti 4:7,8 Re 2:10 22:12
A further distinction is that salvation is a present possession
# Lu 7:50 Joh 3:36 5:24 6:47
while rewards are a future attainment, to be given at the coming of
the Lord
# Mt 16:27 2Ti 4:8 Re 22:12
