John Trapp on 1 Corinthians 1:23

Verſe 23. But we preach Chriſt] We not only preach of him, but we preach him, we give what we preach. It is the ſpeciall office of the miniſtery to lay Chriſt open, to hold up the tapeſtry, to unfold the hidden myſteries of Chriſt. The holy Ghoſt in them, taketh of that which is Chriſts, and ſheweth to men. Joh. 16.15.

Ʋnto the Iews a ſtumbling block] Theſe Philiſtims cannot conceive how out of the eater ſhould come meat, and out of the ſtrong, ſweet. Ʋnto the Greeks] Theſe jeared at Jeſus, and the reſurrection, as at a couple of ſtrange gods, Act. 17.18. Cato profanely ſaith, Stultitia est morte alterius sperare ſalutem. It is a folly to expect ſafety by the death of another.
