11:1 Dress and Conduct in the Church

SUMMARY OF I CORINTHIANS 11:

Men in Church to Pray with Uncovered Heads. Women to Be Veiled. Disorderly Assemblies. The Abuse of Love Feasts. The Lord's Supper Profaned. The Lesson from Christ's Appointment of the Ordinance. Must Be Eaten with Solemn Reverence.

Be ye followers of me even as I also am of Christ. This refers to 1Co 10:33. Like him, they should not seek to please themselves, but to so act as to save others.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

CHAPTER 11

1Co 11:1-34. Censure on Disorders in Their Assemblies: Their Women Not Being Veiled, and Abuses at the Love-Feasts.

followers-Greek, "imitators."

of Christ-who did not please Himself (Ro 15:3); but gave Himself, at the cost of laying aside His divine glory, and dying as man, for us (Eph 5:2; Php 2:4, 5). We are to follow Christ first, and earthly teachers only so far as they follow Christ.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

11:1 The first verse of this chapter seems properly to be the close to the last. The apostle not only preached such doctrine as they ought to believe, but led such a life as they ought to live. Yet Christ being our perfect example, the actions and conduct of men, as related in the Scriptures, should be followed only so far as they are like to his.


1 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore I exhort you, be imitators of me.
Philippians 3:17 Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us. (NASB ©1995)

1 He reproves them, because in holy assemblies,
4 their men prayed with their heads covered,
6 and women with their heads uncovered;
17 and because generally their meetings were not for the better, but for the worse;
21 as, namely, in profaning with their own feast the Lord's supper.
25 Lastly, he calls them to the first institution thereof.
