Greek Commentary for 1 Corinthians 1:9
This is the ground of Paul‘s confidence as he loves to say (1 Thessalonians 5:24; 1 Corinthians 10:13; Romans 8:36; Philemon 1:16). God will do what he has promised. [source]
God is the agent Old word from κοινωνος Koinéōnos partner for partnership, participation as here and 2 Corinthians 13:13.; Philemon 2:1; Philemon 3:10.

And particularly as shown by contribution as in 2 Corinthians 8:4; 2 Corinthians 9:13; Philemon 1:5. It is high fellowship with Christ both here and hereafter. [source]

Reverse Greek Commentary Search for 1 Corinthians 1:9
In Luke 5:7 the word rendered partners is μέτοχοι ; from μετά ,with, and ἔχω ,to have. The word here denotes a closer association, a common interest. The kindred noun, κοινωνία ,fellowship, is used of the fellowship of believers with Christ (1 Corinthians 1:9); the communion of the body and blood of Christ (1 Corinthians 10:16); the communion of the Holy Ghost (2 Corinthians 13:14). The persons referred to in Luke 5:7 might have been only hired workmen (Mark 1:20), temporarily associated with the principals. [source]
Better, as Rev., faithfulness; the good faith of God; His fidelity to His promises. For this sense see on Matthew 23:23. Compare Titus 2:10, and see on faithful, 1 John 1:9; see on Revelation 1:5; see on Revelation 3:14. Compare 1 Corinthians 1:9; 1 Corinthians 10:13; 2 Corinthians 1:18. [source]
Very often applied to God by Paul. See Romans 8:30; Romans 9:11; 1 Corinthians 1:9; 1 Corinthians 7:15; Galatians 1:15; 1 Thessalonians 2:121 Thessalonians 4:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:24; 2 Thessalonians 2:14. The persuasion to subject yourselves to the Jewish law does not proceed from him who called you to freedom in Christ. [source]
Giving emphasis to the following statement. Comp. Romans 4:3; Romans 10:8; Romans 11:2, Romans 11:4. Quotation from lxx of Genesis 21:10. For the words of this bondwoman - with my son Isaac, Paul substitutes of the bondwoman - with the son of the freewoman, in order to adapt it to his context. This is according to his habit of adapting quotations to his immediate use. See 1 Corinthians 1:9; 1 Corinthians 15:55; Ephesians 5:14, etc. [source]
God. Not neuter and referring to the gospel. Calling, in the writings of the apostles, is habitually represented as God's work. See Romans 8:30; Romans 9:11; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Galatians 1:15; 1 Thessalonians 2:12; 1 Peter 1:15; 1 Peter 2:9; 2 Peter 1:3. [source]
The genitive, governed by the preceding διὰ byor through. The idea is the same as an apostle by the will of God: 1 Corinthians 1:1; 2 Corinthians 1:1; Ephesians 1:1. Διὰ is used of secondary agency, as Matthew 1:22; Matthew 11:2; Luke 1:70; Acts 1:16; Hebrews 1:2. But we find διὰ θελήματος θεοῦ bythe will of God, Romans 15:32; 1 Corinthians 1:1; 2 Corinthians 1:1, etc., and διὰ θεοῦ byGod, Galatians 4:7. Also δἰ οὗ (God), 1 Corinthians 1:9; Hebrews 2:10. [source]
Second (ingressive) aorist middle imperative of επιλαμβανω epilambanō “get a grip on.” See same verb with genitive also in 1 Timothy 6:19. Thou wast called (εκλητης eklēthēs). First aorist passive of καλεω kaleō as in 1 Corinthians 1:9; Colossians 3:15. The good confession Cognate accusative with ωμολογησας hōmologēsas (first aorist active indicative of ομολογεω homologeō the public confession in baptism which many witnessed. See it also in 1 Timothy 6:13 of Jesus. [source]
First aorist passive of καλεω kaleō as in 1 Corinthians 1:9; Colossians 3:15. [source]
Comp. 1 Timothy 6:12, and see Romans 8:30; Romans 9:11; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Galatians 1:6; 1 Thessalonians 2:12. It is Paul's technical term for God's summoning men to salvation. In Paul the order is reversed: called, saved. [source]
Probably dative, “to a holy calling.” Κλησις Klēsis here apparently not the invitation, but the consecrated service, “the upward calling” (Philemon 3:14). See note on 1 Corinthians 7:20; Ephesians 4:1, Ephesians 4:4 for the use of καλεω kaleō with κλησις klēsis Paul often uses καλεω kaleō of God‘s calling men (1 Thessalonians 2:12; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Galatians 1:6; Romans 8:20; Romans 9:11). [source]
“Change of mind” (2 Corinthians 7:10; Romans 2:4). Unto the knowledge of the truth (εις επιγνωσιν αλητειας eis epignōsin alētheias). Paul‘s word “full knowledge” (1 Corinthians 1:9). [source]

Present middle (direct) participle of αντιδιατιτημι antidiatithēmi late double compound (Diodorus, Philo) to place oneself in opposition, here only in N.T. If peradventure God may give (μη ποτε δωιη ο τεος mē pote dōiē ho theos). Here Westcott and Hort read the late form of the second aorist active optative of διδωμι didōmi for the usual δοιη doiē as they do in 2 Timothy 1:18. But there it is a wish for the future and so regular, while here the optative with μη ποτε mē pote in a sort of indirect question is used with a primary tense δει dei (present) and parallel with an undoubted subjunctive ανανηπσωσιν ananēpsōsin while in Luke 3:15 μη ποτε ειε mē pote eie is with a secondary tense. Examples of such an optative do occur in the papyri (Robertson, Grammar, p. 989) so that we cannot go as far as Moulton does and say that we “must” read the subjunctive δωηι dōēi here (Prolegomena, pp. 55, 193). Repentance “Change of mind” (2 Corinthians 7:10; Romans 2:4). Unto the knowledge of the truth (εις επιγνωσιν αλητειας eis epignōsin alētheias). Paul‘s word “full knowledge” (1 Corinthians 1:9). [source]
True to His own nature and promises; keeping faith with Himself and with man. The word is applied to God as fulfilling His own promises (Hebrews 10:23; Hebrews 11:11); as fulfilling the purpose for which He has called men (1 Thessalonians 5:24; 1 Corinthians 1:9); as responding with guardianship to the trust reposed in Him by men (1 Corinthians 10:13; 1 Peter 4:19). “He abideth faithful. He cannot deny Himself” (2 Timothy 2:13). The same term is applied to Christ (2 Thessalonians 3:3; Hebrews 3:2; Hebrews 2:17). God's faithfulness is here spoken of not only as essential to His own being, but as faithfulness toward us; “fidelity to that nature of truth and light, related to His own essence, which rules in us as far as we confess our sins” (Ebrard). The essence of the message of life is fellowship with God and with His children (1 John 1:3). God is light (1 John 1:5). Walking in the light we have fellowship, and the blood of Jesus is constantly applied to cleanse us from sin, which is darkness and which interrupts fellowship. If we walk in darkness we do not the truth. If we deny our sin the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, “God, by whom we were called unto the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful ” (1 Corinthians 1:9) to forgive our sins, to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, and thus to restore and maintain the interrupted fellowship.
