Now I praise you, brethren, because you remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 11:2 Go To 1 Corinthians 11
John Chrysostom
AD 407
The Corinthian women used to pray and to prophesy (for in those days women also prophesied) with their heads bare. Meanwhile the men, who had spent a long time in philosophy, wore their hair long and covered their heads when praying, which was a Greek custom. Paul had already admonished them about these things. It seems that some had listened to him but that others disobeyed. Here he praises the obedient before going on to correct the others.
