1 Corinthians 11:1
Introduction
The apostle reprehends the Corinthians for several irregularities in their manner of conducting public worship; the men praying or prophesying with their heads covered, and the women with their heads uncovered, contrary to custom, propriety, and decency, 1Cor 11:1-6. Reasons why they should act differently, 1Cor 11:7-16. They are also reproved for their divisions and heresies, 1Cor 11:17-19. And for the irregular manner in which they celebrated the Lord's Supper, 1Cor 11:20-22. The proper manner of celebrating this holy rite laid down by the apostle, 1Cor 11:23-26. Directions for a profitable receiving of the Lord's Supper, and avoiding the dangerous consequences of communicating unworthily, 1Cor 11:27-34. Verse 1 Be ye followers of me - This verse certainly belongs to the preceding chapter, and is here out of all proper place and connection.
