Transcript Why I Believe In Jesus

The Corinthians wanted the praises of God.

There were exceptions in the church.
(2 Cor 10:12, 18)
The Corinthians wanted the praises of God.

2 Corinthians 10:12 (NKJV) - For we dare
not class ourselves or compare ourselves
with those who commend themselves. But
they, measuring themselves by themselves,
and comparing themselves among
themselves, are not wise.
The Corinthians wanted the praises of God.

2 Corinthians 10:18 (NKJV) - For not he
who commends himself is approved, but
whom the Lord commends.
The Corinthians wanted the praises of God.

The praise of an apostle was equivalent to
the praise of God. (1 Jn 4:1, 6)
The Corinthians wanted the praises of God.

1 John 4:1 (NKJV) - Beloved, do not
believe every spirit, but test the spirits,
whether they are of God; because many
false prophets have gone out into the world.
The Corinthians wanted the praises of God.

1 John 4:6 (NKJV) - We are of God. He
who knows God hears us; he who is not of
God does not hear us. By this we know the
spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
The Corinthians wanted the praises of God.

The church as a whole was interested in
Paul’s instruction as evidenced by their
letter that Paul is continuing to answer. (1
Cor 7:1, 1 Cor 11:2)
The Corinthians wanted the praises of God.

1 Corinthians 7:1 (NKJV)- Now
concerning the things of which you wrote to
me: It is good for a man not to touch a
woman.
The Corinthians wanted the praises of God.

1 Corinthians 11:2 (NKJV) - Now I praise
you, brethren, that you remember me in all
things and keep the traditions just as I
delivered them to you.
The Corinthians wanted the praises of God.

Who were the Corinthians going to seek
answers from, men or God?

Who were the Corinthians going to seek
answers from, men or God?
 Sadly, many Christians today are seeking
answers to these same questions from the
books of men. (Ex. Meeting of preachers in

 Sadly, many Christians today are seeking
answers to these same questions from the
books of men. (Ex. Meeting of preachers in
Birmingham)
 There are two questions answered in this
chapter.

The Corinthians wanted the praises of God.

One was an area of praise (vv2-16) and one
was an area where no praise could be given
(vv17-34). (1 Cor 11:2, 17)
The Corinthians wanted the praises of God.

1 Corinthians 11:2 (NKJV) - Now I praise
you, brethren, that you remember me in all
things and keep the traditions just as I
delivered them to you.
The Corinthians wanted the praises of God.

1 Corinthians 11:17 (NKJV) - Now in
giving these instructions I do not praise you,
since you come together not for the better
but for the worse.
The Corinthians wanted the praises of God.

Lets follow the good example and learn
from the bad example.
“Now I praise you...” - A Symbol of Subjection
Observed. (vv2-16)

1 Corinthians 11:2-16 (NKJV) - Now I
praise you, brethren, that you remember me
in all things and keep the traditions just as I
delivered them to you. 3 But I want you to
know that the head of every man is Christ,
the head of woman is man, and the head of
Christ is God. 4 Every man praying or
prophesying, having his head covered,
dishonors his head.
“Now I praise you...” - A Symbol of Subjection
Observed. (vv2-16)

5 But every woman who prays or prophesies
with her head uncovered dishonors her head,
for that is one and the same as if her head were
shaved. 6 For if a woman is not covered, let
her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a
woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be
covered. 7 For a man indeed ought not to cover
his head, since he is the image and glory of
God; but woman is the glory of man.
“Now I praise you...” - A Symbol of Subjection
Observed. (vv2-16)

8 For man is not from woman, but woman
from man. 9 Nor was man created for the
woman, but woman for the man. 10 For this
reason the woman ought to have a symbol
of authority on her head, because of the
angels. 1 1Nevertheless, neither is man
independent of woman, nor woman
independent of man, in the Lord.
“Now I praise you...” - A Symbol of Subjection
Observed. (vv2-16)

12 For as woman came from man, even so
man also comes through woman; but all
things are from God. 13 Judge among
yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray
to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does
not even nature itself teach you that if a man
has long hair, it is a dishonor to him? 15 But
if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her;
for her hair is given to her for a covering.

16 But if anyone seems to be contentious,
we have no such custom, nor do the
churches of God.

to be submissive, as the law also says. 35

(vv17-34)

1 Corinthians 11:17-34 (NKJV) - Now in
giving these instructions I do not praise you,
since you come together not for the better
but for the worse. 18 For first of all, when
you come together as a church, I hear that
there are divisions among you, and in part I
believe it. 19 For there must also be factions
among you, that those who are approved
may be recognized among you.
“Now in giving these instructions I do not praise
you....” - The Observance of the Lord’s Supper.
(vv17-34)

20 Therefore when you come together in one
place, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper. 21 For
in eating, each one takes his own supper ahead
of others; and one is hungry and another is
drunk. 22 What! Do you not have houses to eat
and drink in? Or do you despise the church of
God and shame those who have nothing? What
shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I
do not praise you.
“Now in giving these instructions I do not praise
you....” - The Observance of the Lord’s Supper.
(vv17-34)

23 For I received from the Lord that which I
also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on
the same night in which He was betrayed
took bread; 24 and when He had given
thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this
is My body which is broken for you; do this
in remembrance of Me.”
“Now in giving these instructions I do not praise
you....” - The Observance of the Lord’s Supper.
(vv17-34)

25 In the same manner He also took the cup
after supper, saying, “This cup is the new
covenant in My blood. This do, as often as
you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” 26
For as often as you eat this bread and drink
this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till
He comes.
“Now in giving these instructions I do not praise
you....” - The Observance of the Lord’s Supper.
(vv17-34)

27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or
drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy
manner will be guilty of the body and blood
of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine
himself, and so let him eat of the bread and
drink of the cup. 29 For he who eats and
drinks in an unworthy manner eats and
drinks judgment to himself, not discerning
the Lord’s body.
“Now in giving these instructions I do not praise
you....” - The Observance of the Lord’s Supper.
(vv17-34)

30 For this reason many are weak and sick
among you, and many sleep. 31 For if we
would judge ourselves, we would not be
judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are
chastened by the Lord, that we may not be
condemned with the world. 33 Therefore,
my brethren, when you come together to
eat, wait for one another.

you....” - The Observance of the Lord’s Supper.

34 But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at
home, lest you come together for judgment.
And the rest I will set in order when I come.
