BE YE FOLLOWERS OF ME, EVEN AS I ALSO AM OF CHRIST.... [ Continue Reading ]
NOW I PRAISE YOU, BRETHREN, THAT YE REMEMBER ME IN ALL THINGS AND KEEP THE ORDINANCES AS I DELIVERED THEM TO YOU. The opening verse really belongs to the previous chapter, since it refers to the example given by Paul in making use of the proper Christian tact under all circumstances. Through his own...

BUT I WOULD HAVE YOU KNOW THAT THE HEAD OF EVERY MAN IS CHRIST, AND THE HEAD OF THE WOMAN IS THE MAN, AND THE HEAD OF CHRIST IS GOD.... [ Continue Reading ]
The woman's veil:... [ Continue Reading ]
EVERY MAN PRAYING OR PROPHESYING, HAVING HIS HEAD COVERED, DISHONORS HIS HEAD.... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT EVERY WOMAN THAT PRAYETH OR PROPHESIES WITH HER HEAD UNCOVERED DISHONORS HER HEAD; FOR THAT IS EVEN ALL ONE AS IF SHE WERE SHAVEN.... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR IF THE WOMAN BE NOT COVERED, LET HER ALSO BE SHORN; BUT IF IT BE A SHAME FOR A WOMAN TO BE SHORN OR SHAVEN, LET HER BE COVERED. The apostle here qualifies the praise which he has just bestowed. He has heard that some women were speaking in the public services of the Corinthian congregation, and... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR A MAN INDEED OUGHT NOT TO COVER HIS HEAD, FORASMUCH, AS HE IS THE IMAGE AND GLORY OF GOD; BUT THE WOMAN IS THE GLORY OF THE MAN.... [ Continue Reading ]
The apostle advances a further argument for the woman's veiling:... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR THE MAN IS NOT OF THE WOMAN, BUT THE WOMAN OF THE MAN.... [ Continue Reading ]
NEITHER WAS THE MAN CREATED FOR THE WOMAN, BUT THE WOMAN FOR THE MAN.... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR THIS CAUSE OUGHT THE WOMAN TO HAVE POWER ON HER HEAD BECAUSE OF THE ANGELS.... [ Continue Reading ]
NEVERTHELESS, NEITHER IS THE MAN WITHOUT THE WOMAN, NEITHER THE WOMAN WITHOUT THE MAN, IN THE LORD.... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR AS THE WOMAN IS OF THE MAN, EVEN SO IS THE MAN ALSO BY THE WOMAN; BUT ALL THINGS OF GOD. The relative position of the sexes is here based upon the Scripture-account of the creation: For a man indeed should not veil the head, since the image and glory of God he is. See Genesis 1:26. He was create... [ Continue Reading ]
JUDGE IN YOURSELVES: IS IT COMELY THAT A WOMAN PRAY UNTO GOD UNCOVERED?... [ Continue Reading ]
The natural sense of propriety supports the apostle:... [ Continue Reading ]
DOTH NOT EVEN NATURE ITSELF TEACH YOU THAT, IF A MAN HAVE LONG HAIR, IT IS A SHAME UNTO HIM?... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT IF A WOMAN HAVE LONG HAIR, IT IS A GLORY TO HER; FOR HER HAIR IS GIVEN HER FOR A COVERING.... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT IF ANY MAN SEEM TO BE CONTENTIOUS, WE HAVE NO SUCH CUSTOM, NEITHER THE CHURCHES OF GOD. Aside from all external authorities, the apostle here appeals to the natural feeling of his readers; they should decide for themselves whether the innate sense of decency and modesty did not seem to require,...

Unseemly behavior in public worship:... [ Continue Reading ]
NOW IN THIS THAT I DECLARE UNTO YOU I PRAISE YOU NOT, THAT YE COME TOGETHER NOT FOR THE BETTER, BUT FOR THE WORSE.... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR, FIRST OF ALL, WHEN YE COME TOGETHER IN THE CHURCH, I HEAR THAT THERE BE DIVISIONS AMONG YOU; AND I PARTLY BELIEVE IT.... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR THERE MUST BE ALSO HERESIES AMONG YOU, THAT THEY WHICH ARE APPROVED MAY BE MADE MANIFEST AMONG YOU.... [ Continue Reading ]
WHEN YE COME TOGETHER, THEREFORE, INTO ONE PLACE, THIS IS NOT TO EAT THE LORD'S SUPPER.... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR IN EATING EVERY ONE TAKETH BEFORE OTHER HIS OWN SUPPER; AND ONE IS HUNGRY, AND ANOTHER IS DRUNKEN.... [ Continue Reading ]
WHAT? HAVE YE NOT HOUSES TO EAT AND TO DRINK IN? OR DESPISE YE THE CHURCH OF GOD, AND SHAME THEM THAT HAVE NOT? WHAT SHALL I SAY TO YOU? SHALL I PRAISE YOU IN THIS? I PRAISE YOU NOT. The matter which the apostle now broaches is not one of mere custom or usage which proper Christian judgment may adju... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR I HAVE RECEIVED OF THE LORD THAT WHICH ALSO I DELIVERED UNTO YOU, THAT THE LORD JESUS, THE SAME NIGHT IN WHICH HE WAS BETRAYED, TOOK BREAD;... [ Continue Reading ]
The Lord's revelation of the institution of the Eucharist:... [ Continue Reading ]
AND WHEN HE HAD GIVEN THANKS, HE BRAKE IT AND SAID, TAKE, EAT; THIS IS MY BODY, WHICH IS BROKEN FOR YOU; THIS DO IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME.... [ Continue Reading ]
AFTER THE SAME MANNER ALSO HE TOOK THE CUP, WHEN HE HAD SUPPED, SAYING, THIS CUP IS THE NEW TESTAMENT IN MY BLOOD; THIS DO YE, AS OFT AS YE DRINK IT, IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME. See Matthew 26:26; Mark 14:22; Luke 22:19. The apostle would have been FULLY justified in saying that he had received the doctr... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR AS OFTEN AS YE EAT THIS BREAD AND DRINK THIS CUP, YE DO SHOW THE LORD'S DEATH TILL HE COME.... [ Continue Reading ]
Worthy and unworthy communicants:... [ Continue Reading ]
WHEREFORE, WHOSOEVER SHALL EAT THIS BREAD, AND DRINK THIS CUP OF THE LORD, UNWORTHILY, SHALL BE GUILTY OF THE BODY AND BLOOD OF THE LORD.... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT LET A MAN EXAMINE HIMSELF, AND SO LET HIM EAT OF THAT BREAD AND DRINK OF THAT CUP.... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR HE THAT EATETH AND DRINKETH UNWORTHILY EATETH AND DRINKETH DAMNATION TO HIMSELF, NOT DISCERNING" THE LORD'S BODY. The apostle now gives the Christians of Corinth and of all times some rules as to the proper preparation for, and celebration of, the Holy Communion. One of its purposes, as just sta...

FOR THIS CAUSE MANY ARE WEAK AND SICKLY AMONG YOU AND MANY SLEEP.... [ Continue Reading ]
A final admonition to use care in going to the Sacrament:... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR IF WE WOULD JUDGE OURSELVES, WE SHOULD NOT BE JUDGED.... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT WHEN WE ARE JUDGED, WE ARE CHASTENED OF THE LORD THAT WE SHOULD NOT BE CONDEMNED WITH, THE WORLD.... [ Continue Reading ]
WHEREFORE, MY BRETHREN, WHEN YE COME TOGETHER TO EAT, TARRY ONE FOR ANOTHER.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND IF ANY MAN HUNGER, LET HIM EAT AT HOME, THAT YE COME NOT TOGETHER UNTO CONDEMNATION. AND THE REST WILL I SET IN ORDER WHEN I COME. Practically all commentators agree in understanding v. 30 of physical inflictions and infirmities, of debility and ill health, many of them adding that these conditi... [ Continue Reading ]
