1 Corinthians 4:16 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Be ye followers of me.— This he presses again, ch. 1 Corinthians 11:1 and it is not likely that he would have proposed himself over and again to them to be followed by them, had the question and contest among them been only whose name they should have borne, his,or their new teacher's. His proposing himself therefore thus to be followed, must be understood in direct opposition to the false Apostle who misled them, and who was not to be suffered to have any credit or followers among them. See Locke.
