1 Corinthians 11:3
_ _ The Corinthian women, on the ground of the abolition of distinction of sexes in Christ, claimed equality with the male sex, and, overstepping the bounds of propriety, came forward to pray and prophesy without the customary head-covering of females. The Gospel, doubtless, did raise women from the degradation in which they had been sunk, especially in the East. Yet, while on a level with males as to the offer of, and standing in grace (Galatians 3:28), their subjection in point of order, modesty, and seemliness, is to be maintained. Paul reproves here their unseemliness as to dress: in 1 Corinthians 14:34, as to the retiring modesty in public which becomes them. He grounds his reproof here on the subjection of woman to man in the order of creation.
_ _ the head — an appropriate expression, when he is about to treat of woman’s appropriate headdress in public.
_ _ of every man ... Christ — (Ephesians 5:23).
_ _ of ... woman ... man — (1 Corinthians 11:8; Genesis 3:16; 1 Timothy 2:11, 1 Timothy 2:12; 1 Peter 3:1, 1 Peter 3:5, 1 Peter 3:6).
_ _ head of Christ is God — (1 Corinthians 3:23; 1 Corinthians 15:27, 1 Corinthians 15:28; Luke 3:22, Luke 3:38; John 14:28; John 20:17; Ephesians 3:9). “Jesus, therefore, must be of the same essence as God: for, since the man is the head of the woman, and since the head is of the same essence as the body, and God is the head of the Son, it follows the Son is of the same essence as the Father” [Chrysostom]. “The woman is of the essence of the man, and not made by the man; so, too, the Son is not made by the Father, but of the essence of the Father” [Theodoret, t. 3, p. 171]. |
1 Corinthians 11:3
I would have you know — He does not seem to have given them any order before concerning this. The head of every man — Particularly every believer. Is Christ, and the head of Christ is God — Christ, as he is Mediator, acts in all things subordinately to his Father. But we can no more infer that they are not of the same divine nature, because God is said to be the head of Christ, than that man and woman are not of the same human nature, because the man is said to be the head of the woman. |
1 Corinthians 11:3
(2) 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 (a) head of Christ [is] God.
(2) He sets down God, in Christ our mediator, as the end and mark not only of doctrine, but also of ecclesiastical comeliness. Then applying it to the question proposed, touching the comely apparel both of men and women in public assemblies, he declares that the woman is one degree beneath the man by the ordinance of God, and that the man is so subject to Christ, that the glory of God ought to appear in him for the preeminence of the sex.
(a) In that Christ is our mediator. |
