1 Corinthians 11:1 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Be ye followers of me, &c.— This verse seems to belong to the preceding chapter, where the Apostle had proposed himself as an example, and therefore it should not be separated from it. From what St. Paul says in this and the preceding verse, taken together, we may collect that he makes some reflection on the false Apostle; at least it is no small proof of St. Paul's integrity and humility, that he proposes himself to be followed no further, than as he sought the good of others, and not his own, and as he had Christ for his pattern. See ch. 1 Corinthians 4:16 and Romans 15.

1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
