고린도전서 11:16 KRV

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 11:16

If any of his readers still did not feel inclined to accept Paul’s reasoning, he informed them that the other churches followed what he had just explained. This is one of four similar statements in this epistle that served to inform the Corinthians that they were out of step with the other churches in their conduct (cf. 1 Corinthians 3:18; 1 Corinthians 8:2; 1 Corinthians 14:37). Some women were evidently discarding their head-covering in public worship because they were repudiating their place... read more

Disorders In Worship2-16. (c) The Veiling of Women in Church2. Now I praise you] This v. introduces the two following sections. The Apostle begins by praising them, perhaps echoing words from their own letter, for keeping the rules and teaching he had given; but goes on to rebuke faults that have come to his knowledge. Keep the ordinances] RV ’hold fast the traditions’: cp. 2 Thessalonians 2:15. I delivered them to you] 1 Corinthians 11:23; 1 Corinthians 15:3. Probably here rules for worship... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Corinthians 11:16

(16) But if any man seem to be contentious.—The argument, and the appeal to their own good sense having been completed, the Apostle now adds that if, after all, some one continues to argue the matter captiously, and is not satisfied with the reason given, the answer to such a one must be simply—We, the Apostles and the churches of God, have no such custom as that women should pray and teach with uncovered head. It has been suggested that the word “custom” refers, not to the uncovering the head,... read more

The Duty of Praising People 1 Corinthians 11:2 What is praise? There is all the difference in the world between praise and flattery. Praise is commendation of character, the expressed approval of conduct. Flattery is false or insincere praise. Flattery is essentially a lie; it is poisoned honey. The Bible utters most terrible denunciations against flattery. Yet the Book, which waxes fierce against flattery, enjoins praise; and in this text of mine Paul's voice rings out like a clarion in the... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 11:1-19

Chapter 16THE VEILAT this point of the Epistle Paul passes from the topics regarding which the Corinthians had requested him to inform them, to make some remarks on the manner in which, as he had heard, they were conducting their meetings for public worship. The next four chapters are occupied with instructions as to what constitutes seemliness and propriety in such meetings. He desires to express in general his satisfaction that on the whole they had adhered to the instructions he had already... read more

11:16 {13} But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.(13) Against those who are stubbornly contentious we have to oppose this, that the churches of God are not contentious. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 11:1-34

Chapters 11 to 14 no longer consider the question of testimony or conduct as before the world, but rather the conduct, order, unity that is becoming in the Assembly, the body of Christ. Yet this is introduced, not with direct reference to the gathering of the Assembly (which begins with verse 17), but with the basic truths of God's order in creation. For if this first and lower is ignored, then how can the higher be rightly kept'? But verse 1 preserves the continuity from chapter 10. As Paul... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 11:1-34

CHURCH DISORDERS This chapter begins properly at 1 Corinthians 11:2 , and treats of disorderly conduct of the women in the church assemblies, and of the misuse of the Lord’s supper. “Head” is used in the sense of source of dominion because it is that which directs the body, and the man is the “head of the woman” because he is under authority to him, the reference being to married women and their husbands. “The head of Christ is God,” when Christ is considered in the mediatorial sense, and... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Corinthians 11:1-34

The Teachings of Nature 1Co 11:14 The Apostle is speaking about a particular subject; it is of no interest to us: but the principle which he lays down is of perpetual value and application. I wish to lure you into two or three simple admissions. The church in which we assemble built itself. I want you to admit that simple statement to be true. No human hand touched it; whether it came down, or whether it rose up from the earth, it is impossible to say; but precisely as it now stands it was... read more
