ACC ~ 1 Corinthians 11 v2

REMOLDING LOCAL TRADITIONS. AMBROSIASTER: Having attacked their morals and behavior, Paul now goes on to correct their traditions. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

THE TRADITION OF HEAD COVERINGS. CHRYSOSTOM: The Corinthian women used to pray and to prophesy (for in those days women also prophesied) with their heads bare. Meanwhile the men, who had spent a long time in philosophy, wore their hair long and covered their heads when praying, which was a Greek custom. Paul had already admonished them about these things. It seems that some had listened to him but that others disobeyed. Here he praises the obedient before going on to correct the others. HOMILIES ON THE EPISTLES OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS 26.2.
