  • I Corinthians 11:1-16
  • I Corinthians 11:3 – Man is the head of woman. This was the order God put in place in Genesis 3:16. Christ is the head of man and God is the head of Christ.
  • I Corinthians 11:14 – This is one of the few things that Paul proved first by the scriptures and then by appealing to nature.
  • I Corinthians 11:4-5 – Some argue that the rules for head coverings were in force only during the time of spiritual gifts because prophesying is mentioned. However, praying is also mentioned, which certainly still applies today. Women’s roles are still the same as they were in Paul’s day, thus the rules are the same.
  • I Corinthians 11:15 – Some argue that this passage is talking about artificial head coverings. This verse dispels that idea by stating that women were given long hair for a covering. The Greek word translated “covering” here specifically means an artificial covering.

  • I Corinthians 10:17-33
  • I Corinthians 10:21 – “Cup” here is a figure of speech indicating service to either the Lord or demons. You cannot serve both the Lord and demons. See Luke 22:29. “Table” here is the equivalent of the “cup” in this verse.
  • I Corinthians 10:23 – Similar wording was used in I Corinthians 6:12. The word “all” here is necessarily limited. Paul is not saying that absolutely everything was lawful for him.
  • I Corinthians 10:28 – Eating meat sacrificed to idols was not sinful. The idol was nothing so the meat was just meat. If, however, someone else told them the meat had been sacrificed to idols, they were not to eat it for the sake of the conscience of the person who told them. It may be that the other person had less understanding and would think ill of a Christian eating meat sacrificed to idols.
  • I Corinthians 10:31-33 – We must be careful to not cause others to violate their conscience. Our goal should be to help all men to be saved. See I Corinthians 9:19-23.
