 {righteousness} The righteousness is God's, though it is Christ's work alone which could have made it not condemn but justify us. In virtue of the cross God is consistent with Himself in justifying us both freely and righteously. (Notes on 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 by W. Kelly)
 {holiness} Christ is the measure and means and pattern of holiness to the Christian, no doubt the Spirit is the agent; by it He works by keeping not Himself but Christ before us. (Notes on 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 by W. Kelly)
 {redemption} He was made to us "redemption," by which, as the order clearly shows, is meant not the forgiveness of sins which we have, but that complete deliverance from the effects of sin our bodies which we await at the coming of our Lord Jesus. See Rom. 8:23; Eph. 1:14; 4:30. (Notes on 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 by W. Kelly)
 Christ was unto him, from God, wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption-all in contrast with the pretensions of the human mind. (1 Corinthians 1 by J.N. Darby)
