Charles Spurgeon Commentary 1 Corinthians 11:8

"For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man:" — 1 Corinthians 11:8 (ASV)

For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom;

He is prudent—an experienced man—fit to lead the young, and the feeble, and those who are less instructed than he himself is.

To another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

He has a wide range of practical acquaintance with God's Word; and though he may not be so judicious as the brother who was just mentioned, yet he is a man of knowledge.
