Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 11:2-16

The Status of Men and Women in Ministry When Prophesying and Praying Is To Be Expressed In The Covering or Uncovering of the Head (11:2-16). This question is of great importance in the church, because it deals with the matter of authority, and especially authority in ministry. It is usually misrepresented as though it somehow demeaned women. In fact it exalts women. But in spite of all attempts to modernise it and all attempts to tone down its message, its message does remain inviolable, once... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 11:2-34

Approach to Worship (11:2-14:40). We now move on to a section which deals with the Christian approach to worship in the light of the particular problems of the Corinthian church. Chapter 11 covers the question of the covering or uncovering of the head in praying and prophesying, and its significance, followed by problems arising at the Christian love feasts and the Lord's Table, including the divisions caused by those problems. Note that it is all about problems arising from un-Christian... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 11:10

'For this reason ought the woman to have authority on her head, because of the angels.' And that is why the woman must when prophesying and being open to the Spirit and thus entering the spiritual realm, wear the covering that both denotes her authority to act in this way, and the fact that as she does so, she does so acting as man's helpmeet and is thus submissive to him in the exercise of her authority. Other commentators would, however, rather see the covering as primarily the sign that she... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 11:2-16

1 Corinthians 11:2-Nehemiah : . Women must be Veiled in the Christian Assemblies.— It is not clear whether this subject was discussed in the church letter.Paul begins, in a way that surprises us after his grave censures, with praise for their steadfast adherence to his teaching and traditions. But he must inform them that the head of every man (as distinguished from woman) is Christ, the head of the woman is man, the head of Christ, God. Woman, Man, Christ, God, form an ascending climax in... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 11:7-34

1 Corinthians 11:7-Nahum : . The Desecration of the Lord’ s Supper.— Paul feels that in one respect he must restrict his praise. Their meetings damage rather than profit them. He cannot help believing part of what he hears about their divisions. To be sure they must have their factions, or their best men would get no chance of displaying their qualities! When they meet they have supper, it is true, but it is out of the question to eat the Lord’ s Supper. Possibly the poorer members could not... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 11:10

By power on her head is here to be understood (as some think) a covering on her head, in sign that she is under the power of her husband: the thing signified is here put for the sign, as the sign is often put for the thing signified. Thus the ark, which is called, the ark of God’s strength, Psalms 132:8, is itself called his strength, 1 Chronicles 16:11. But others here by head do not understand the woman’s natural head, but her husband, or the man, who is the political head of the woman; and... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Corinthians 11:1-16

CRITICAL NOTES[1 Corinthians 11:1 belongs to chap. 10, where see. Evans (in Speaker), Stanley, and others divide this chapter at 1 Corinthians 11:16, not 1 Corinthians 11:17, making 1 Corinthians 11:16 introduce the new topic]1 Corinthians 11:2. I praise you … all things.—Not qualified or limited by 1 Corinthians 11:17, which refers to a new point, which had arisen in practice, outside the “all things already delivered,” whether orally, when Paul was at Corinth, or by the (possible) lost... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 11:1-34

Shall we turn in our Bibles now to I Corinthians 11 .Paul here in the first verse said,Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ ( 1 Corinthians 11:1 ).In the previous verse he spoke about how he was not seeking his own profit, his own glory, but the profit of the whole body of Christ. And then he said, "Be followers of me." The word followers in the Greek is mimetes, in which we get our word mimic. Be mimickers, or be imitators of me. Follow the example that I have set. That is, don't... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 11:1-34

1 Corinthians 11:2 . Keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you. The apostle mentions these twice to the Thessalonians, and nearly in the same words. 2 Thessalonians 2:15; 2 Thessalonians 3:6. What were they? General outlines of order in worship, and rules of private conduct for the members of the churches, whether male or female, married or single. How could the infant church subsist without traditions, that they might walk by the same rule, and mind the same things. These ordinances... read more
