I am jealous for you The word "jealous" in this context is derived from the Greek word "zēloō," which can mean to be zealous or to have a fervent concern. In the ancient world, jealousy often had a negative connotation, but here, Paul uses it positively to express his deep, protective concern for the spiritual well-being of the Corinthian church. This reflects God's own jealousy, which is not rooted in insecurity but in a desire for the exclusive devotion of His people. Paul’s jealousy is akin to that of a parent or guardian who desires the best for their child, emphasizing the depth of his pastoral care. with a godly jealousy For I promised you to one husband, to Christ so that I might present you as a pure virgin to Him For I have espoused you . . .--The word is not found elsewhere in the New Testament. It appears in this sense in the LXX. version of Proverbs 19:14 : "A man's wife is espoused to him from the Lord." Strictly speaking, it is used of the act of the father who gives his daughter in marriage; and this, rather than the claim to act as "the friend of the bridegroom" (see Note on John 3:29), is probably the idea here. He claims the office as the "father" of the Corinthian Church (1Corinthians 4:15). The underlying idea of the comparison is that the Church at large, and every separate portion of it, is as the bride of Christ. On the earlier appearances of this thought, see Notes on Matthew 22:2; Matthew 25:1; John 3:29; and, for its more elaborated forms, on Ephesians 5:25-32; Revelation 19:7-9; Revelation 21:2; Revelation 21:9). What the Apostle now urges is that it is as natural for him to be jealous for the purity of the Church which owes its birth to him, as it is for a father to be jealous over the chastity of the daughter whom he has betrothed as to a kingly bridegroom. . . .

I acted as the paranymph, or "bridegroom's friend" (John 3:29), in bringing you to Christ, the Bridegroom. The metaphor is found alike in the Old and New Testaments (Isaiah 54:5; Ezekiel 23; Hosea 2:19; Ephesians 5:25-27). To one husband (Jeremiah 3:1; Ezekiel 16:15). Our Lord used an analogous metaphor in the parable of the king's wedding feast, the virgins, etc. That I may present you. The same word as in 2 Corinthians 4:14. The conversion of the Church was its betrothal to Christ, brought about by St. Paul as the paranymph; and, in the same capacity, at the final marriage feast, he would present their Church as a pure bride to Christ at his coming (Revelation 19:7-9).Parallel Commentaries ...
