- I Corinthians 11:4-5 – Some argue that the rules for head coverings were in force only during the time of spiritual gifts because prophesying is mentioned. However, praying is also mentioned, which certainly still applies today. Women’s roles are still the same as they were in Paul’s day, thus the rules are the same.
- I Corinthians 11:15 – Some argue that this passage is talking about artificial head coverings. This verse dispels that idea by stating that women were given long hair for a covering. The Greek word translated “covering” here specifically means an artificial covering.

30 min - 1 Corinthians, Part 18
- I Corinthians 10:17-33
- I Corinthians 10:21 – “Cup” here is a figure of speech indicating service to either the Lord or demons. You cannot serve both the Lord and demons. See Luke 22:29. “Table” here is the equivalent of the “cup” in this verse.
- I Corinthians 10:23 – Similar wording was used in I Corinthians 6:12. The word “all” here is necessarily limited. Paul is not saying that absolutely everything was lawful for him.

If, however, someone else told them the meat had been sacrificed to idols, they were not to eat it for the sake of the conscience of the person who told them. It may be that the other person had less understanding and would think ill of a Christian eating meat sacrificed to idols.
- I Corinthians 10:31-33 – We must be careful to not cause others to violate their conscience. Our goal should be to help all men to be saved. See I Corinthians 9:19-23.

- 1 Corinthians, Part 17
- I Corinthians 10:5-17
- I Corinthians 10:8 – See Numbers 25:9. There have been many explanations given for the apparent discrepancy here (23,000 vs. 24, 000). It may simple be that the Jews counted in whole numbers (for example, Jesus is described as being in the grave three days when it was less than 72 hours). The actual number of those who died was probably between 23,000 and 24,000.

- I Corinthians 10:16 – The Lord’s Supper is a memorial of Jesus’ death. The bread and the cup do not represent His body and blood – they are a memorial.
