1 Corinthians 11:11 NIV

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 11:11

Nevertheless. The verse is meant to correct any tendency on the part of men to domineer. Man and woman are "all one in Christ Jesus" ( Galatians 3:28 ). "The two-celled heart, beating with one full stroke—Life." read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 11:11

Nevertheless - Lest the man should assume to himself too much superiority, and lest he should regard the woman as made solely for his pleasure, and should treat her as in all respects inferior, and withhold the respect that is due to her. The design of this verse and the following is to show, that the man and woman are united in the most tender interests; that the one cannot live comfortably without the other; that one is necessary to the happiness of the other; and that though the woman was... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 11:11-12

1 Corinthians 11:11-12. Nevertheless, neither is the man, since the first creation, produced without the woman, neither the woman without the man And they cannot subsist without the mutual help of each other in many cases: in the Lord By God’s appointment, and according to that order he has fixed in the creation. As if he had said, Yet let not the man be proud of his superiority, nor the woman troubled at her subjection, for there is a kind of equality in some respects, and many mutual... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 11:2-16

11:2-34 ORDER IN PUBLIC WORSHIPWhen women pray or prophesy (11:2-16)Paul had heard from the visitors from Corinth of disorder in the public worship of the church. To start with, some of the Corinthian women were speaking in the church services without the veil over their heads. This was shameful by current social standards in that part of the world. Paul argues that Christians do not have to show their new-found freedom by rejecting the local customs of politeness and etiquette. In fact, these... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 11:11

Nevertheless, neither is the woman without the man, nor the man without the woman, in the Lord For as the woman is of the man, so is the man also by the woman; but all things are of God.Despite the fact of Paul's speaking on the subordination of woman in God's order of created beings, he was careful here to point out what kind of subordination he was speaking of. Man and woman are mutually dependent upon each other, each enjoying unique prerogatives and blessings under the will of God, as Paul... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 11:11

11. Yet neither sex is insulated and independent of the other in the Christian life [ALFORD]. The one needs the other in the sexual relation; and in respect to Christ ("in the Lord"), the man and the woman together (for neither can be dispensed with) realize the ideal of redeemed humanity represented by the bride, the Church. read more

C. Propriety in worship 11:2-16This section and the next (1 Corinthians 11:17-34) deal with subjects different from meat offered to idols, but Paul did not introduce them with the phrase "now concerning." These were additional subjects about which he wanted to give the Corinthians guidance. He had evidently learned of the Corinthians’ need for instruction in these matters either through their letter to him, from the messengers that brought that letter to him, or from other sources. read more

2. The argument from creation 11:7-12Paul proceeded with a second supporting argument to correct the Corinthians’ perversion regarding women’s head-coverings. read more

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

Even though the positions of man and woman differ in God’s administrative order, this does not mean they can get along without each other. They are mutually dependent on each other, and they complement one another. They are interdependent, even as the Son and the Father are. Paul’s main point was that woman is not independent of man. This is further evidence that he was countering an illegitimate spirit of independence among some Corinthian women.In a family, companionship should replace... read more
