1 Corinthians 11:16, No Such Custom

1 Corinthians 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

When the Apostle Paul urges the Corinthian Christians to honour and adhere to the biblical principles of headship and subordination in the church between the men and the women.

William MacDonald said well here, “Paul was not trying to foist a new behavioural pattern on the Corinthians but simply to hold the line against self-indulgent individual excess in the name of freedom. As in the case of food offered to idols (8:1-11:1), Paul dealt with the immediate issue but also put his finger on the root of the problem, the Corinthian pursuit of self-interest which was unwilling to subordinate itself to the needs of others (cf. 10:24) or the glory of God (10:31). Throwing off the head covering was an act of insubordination which discredited God.”

The Lord strengthen His body as the principles for church order is observed. Amen.
