This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Rude in speech (idiōtēs tōi logōi). Locative case with idiōtēs for which word see note on Act 4:13; note on 1Co 14:16, note on 1Co 14:23, and 1Co 14:24. The Greeks regarded a man as idiōtēs who just attended to his own affairs (ta idia) and took no part in public life. Paul admits that he is not a professional orator (cf. 2Co 10:10), but denies that he is unskilled in knowledge (all' ou tēi gnōsei).
Among all men (en pāsin). He has made his mastery of the things of Christ plain among all men. He knew his subject.
