Matthew Henry Commentary 1 Corinthians 11:1

"Be ye imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ." — 1 Corinthians 11:1 (ASV)

The first verse of this chapter seems to be the proper conclusion to the previous one. The apostle not only preached doctrine that they ought to believe, but also led a life that they ought to live. Yet, Christ being our perfect example, the actions and conduct of people, as related in the Scriptures, should be followed only insofar as they are like His.
