1 Corinthians 16:16 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth. That ye submit yourselves unto such - That ye have due regard to them, and consider them as especial instruments in the hand of God for countenancing and carrying on his great work. The submission here recommended does not imply obedience, but kind and courteous demeanour. Kypke vindicates this sense of the word from Ephesians 5:21; 1 Peter 5:5.
