1 Cor. 11:1 - NIV, NAB - in Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians
Wherefore it behoves us also to live according to the will of God in Christ, and to imitate Him as Paul did. For, says he, "Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ."[30]
1 Cor. 11:1 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book II
" And openly and expressly the apostle, in the first Epistle to the Corinthians says, "Be ye followers of me, as also I am of Christ,"[268]
1 Cor. 11:1 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On Prayer
So far, however, as regards the dress of women, the variety of observance compels us-men of no consideration whatever-to treat, presumptuously indeed, after the most holy apostle,[112]
1 Cor. 11:1 - NIV, NAB - in Methodius From the Discourse on the Resurrection
if he who says so speaks the truth, let us ask him to explain what was the evil which the apostle hated and willed not to do, but did; and the good which he willed to do, but did not; and conversely, whether as often as he willed to do good, so often he did not do the good which he willed, but did the evil which he willed not? And how he can say, when exhorting us to shake off all manner of sin, "Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ? "[76]
1 Cor. 11:1 - NIV, NAB - in Lactantius Divine Institutes Book IV
And it makes the entire difference what you worship, not how you worship, or what prayer you offer.[385]

and in the stony hearts of the old man, so that by comparison of the letter and by exhibition of the spirit He may enrich the scribe who is made a disciple unto the kingdom of heaven, and make him like unto Himself; until the disciple shall be as the Master, imitating first the imitator of Christ, and after him Christ Himself, according to that which is said by Paul, "Be ye imitators of me even as I also of Christ."[90]
1 Cor. 11:2 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On the Apparel of Women Book II
In vain do you labour to seem adorned: in vain do you call in the aid of all the most skilful manufacturers of false hair. God bids you "be veiled."[66]
1 Cor. 11:2 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On Monogamy
sy; nor is there any other cause whence they find themselves compelled to deny the Paraclete more than the fact that they esteem Him to be the institutor of a novel discipline, and a discipline which they find most harsh: so that this is already the first ground on which we must join issue in a general handling (of the subject), whether there is room for maintaining that the Paraclete has taught any such thing as can either be charged with novelty, in opposition to catholic tradition,[5]
1 Cor. 11:2 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Epistle LXII
in sanctifying the cup of the Lord, and in ministering to the people, do not do that which Jesus Christ, our Lord and God, the founder and teacher of this sacrifice, did and taught, I have thought it as well a religious as a necessary thing to write to you this letter, that, if any one is still kept in this error, he may behold the light of truth, and return to the root and origin of the tradition of the Lord.[3]
1 Cor. 11:2 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Epistle LXII

1 Cor. 11:3 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book IV
"For I would have you know," says the apostle, "that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man: for the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man. For neither is the woman without the man, nor the man without the woman, in the Lord."[92]
1 Cor. 11:3 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book IV
And if "the Lord is head of the man, and the man is head of the woman," the man, "being the image and glory of God, is lord of the woman."[95]
1 Cor. 11:3 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book V

"The head of every man is Christ."[338]
1 Cor. 11:3 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Praxeas

, it is the custom of some to make prayer with cloaks doffed, for so do the nations approach their idols; which practice, of course, were its observance becoming, the apostles, who teach concerning the garb of prayer.[95]

1 Cor. 11:3 - NIV, NAB - in Victorinus Commentary on the Apocalypse of the Blessed John
"And His head and His hairs were white as it were white wool, and as it were snow."] On the head the whiteness is shown; "but the head of Christ is God."[5]
1 Cor. 11:3 - NIV, NAB - in Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book I
Let the wife be obedient to her own proper husband, because "the husband is the head of the wife."[32]
1 Cor. 11:3 - NIV, NAB - in Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book III
For, had it been necessary for women to teach, He Himself had first commanded these also to instruct the people with us. For "if the head of the wife be the man,"[21]
1 Cor. 11:3 - NIV, NAB - in Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book III

1 Cor. 11:4 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book III
We must conclude, moreover, that these men (the Montanists) can not admit the Apostle Paul either. For, in his Epistle to the Corinthians,[157]
1 Cor. 11:4 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On Prayer
."[125]
1 Cor. 11:5 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria The Instructor Book III
And she will never fall, who puts before her eyes modesty, and her shawl; nor will she invite another to fall into sin by uncovering her face. For this is the wish of the Word, since it is becoming for her to pray veiled.[151]
1 Cor. 11:5 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book V
(although that even they have the right of prophesying, he has already shown[380]
1 Cor. 11:5 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On Prayer
For they who allow to virgins immunity from head-covering, appear to rest on this; that the apostle has not defined "virgins" by name, but "women,"[114]
1 Cor. 11:5 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On Prayer

1 Cor. 11:5 - NIV, NAB - in Victorinus Commentary on the Apocalypse of the Blessed John

."[59]
1 Cor. 11:7 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On Idolatry
Therefore, too, the Lord demanded that the money should be shown Him, and inquired about the image, whose it was; and when He had heard it was Cµsar's, said, "Render to Cµsar what are Cµsar's, and what are God's to God; "that is, the image of Cµsar, which is on the coin, to Cµsar, and the image of God, which is on man,[117]

for He wishes His "image "-us-to become likewise His "likeness; "[4]
1 Cor. 11:7 - NIV, NAB - in Methodius From the Discourse on the Resurrection
And he asks what will be the appearance of the risen body, when this human form, as according to him useless, shall wholly disappear; since it is the most lovely of all things which are combined in living creatures, as being the form which the Deity Himself employs, as the most wise Paul explains: "For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God; "[108]
1 Cor. 11:9 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book V
If it is because "she was created for the man,"[342]
1 Cor. 11:10 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book I
Again, the coming of the Saviour with His attendants to Achamoth is declared in like manner by him in the same Epistle, when he says, "A woman ought to have a veil upon her head, because of the angels."[99]
1 Cor. 11:10 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian De Corona
She has the burden of her own humility to bear. If she ought not to appear with her head uncovered on account of the angels,[58]
1 Cor. 11:10 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book V
and adds: "Doth God take care of oxen? "Yes, of oxen, for the sake of men! For, says he, "it is written for our sakes."[324]
1 Cor. 11:10 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book V
), how can I possibly have another head but Him whose image I am? For if I am the image of the Creator there is no room in me for another head But wherefore "ought the woman to have power over her head, because of the angels? "[341]
1 Cor. 11:10 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book V
and taken out of the man, according to the Creator's purpose, then in this way too has the apostle maintained the discipline of that God from whose institution he explains the reasons of His discipline. He adds: "Because of the angels."[343]
1 Cor. 11:10 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On Prayer
Let "man" and "youth" be different, if "woman" and "virgin" are different. For indeed it is "on account of the angels"[127]
1 Cor. 11:10 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On the Veiling of Virgins
ought to have power upon the head,"[28]
1 Cor. 11:11 - NIV, NAB - in Epistle of Ignatius to Hero, a Deacon of Antioch
It is right, therefore, that we should honour those who have had a part in giving us birth. "Neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man,"[19]
1 Cor. 11:14 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria The Instructor Book III
The Word prohibits us from doing violence to nature[101]
1 Cor. 11:14 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On Prayer
by naming the sex generally, mingled "daughters" and species together in the genus. Again, while he says that "nature herself,"[133]
1 Cor. 11:14 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On the Veiling of Virgins
, because hair serves for a covering,[30]
1 Cor. 11:14 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On the Veiling of Virgins
If Scripture is uncertain, Nature is manifest; and concerning Nature's testimony Scripture cannot be uncertain.[56]
1 Cor. 11:16 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On the Veiling of Virgins
? ""If any," he says, "is contentious, we have not such a custom, nor (has) the Church of God."[33]
1 Cor. 11:16 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Epistle XXX
Nor is it now but lately that this counsel has been considered by us, nor have these sudden appliances against the wicked but recently occurred to us; but this is read of among us as the ancient severity, the ancient faith, the ancient discipline,[4]
1 Cor. 11:16 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Epistle LXXII
Hence it is in vain that some who are overcome by reason oppose to us custom, as if custom were greater than truth;[15]
1 Cor. 11:16 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Epistle LXXII
especially since the apostle says, "If any man, however, is thought to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the Church of God."[39]
1 Cor. 11:17 - NIV, NAB - in A Treatise Against the Heretic Novatian by an Anonymous Bishop
"Do I praise you? In this I praise you not; that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse."[51]
1 Cor. 11:18 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian The Prescription Against Heretics
For he shows us that it was owing to the prospect of the greater evil that he readily believed the existence of the lighter ones; and so far indeed was he from believing, in respect of evils (of such a kind), that heresies were good, that his object was to forewarn us that we ought not to be surprised at temptations of even a worse stamp, since (he said) they tended "to make manifest all such as were approved; "[43]
1 Cor. 11:18 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian The Prescription Against Heretics
These were the ingenious arts of "spiritual wickednesses,"[410]
1 Cor. 11:18 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book V
If, however, the angels of the rival god are referred to, what fear is there for them? for not even Marcion's disciples, (to say nothing of his angels, ) have any desire for women. We have often shown before now, that the apostle classes heresies as evil[345]
1 Cor. 11:19 - NIV, NAB - in Dialogue of Justin
And, `There shall be schisms and heresies.'[89]
1 Cor. 11:19 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book VII
Further, it is said that it is on account of "those that are approved that heresies exist."[154]
1 Cor. 11:19 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian The Prescription Against Heretics
nor the fact that they subvert the faith of some, for their final cause is, by affording a trial to faith, to give it also the opportunity of being "approved."[4]
1 Cor. 11:19 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian The Prescription Against Heretics
And therefore "heresies must needs be in order that they which are approved might be made manifest,[38]
1 Cor. 11:19 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian The Prescription Against Heretics
Now, that which he subjoins to evil things, he of course confesses to be itself an evil; and all the greater, indeed, because he tells us that his belief of their schisms and dissensions was grounded on his knowledge that "there must be heresies also."[42]
1 Cor. 11:19 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian The Prescription Against Heretics
necessary that there should be heresies;[311]
1 Cor. 11:19 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian The Prescription Against Heretics
that the very Scriptures were even arranged by the will of God in such a manner as to furnish materials for heretics, inasmuch as I read that "there must be heresies,[416]
1 Cor. 11:19 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against the Valentinians
Now if there are no heresies at all but what those who refute them are supposed to have fabricated, then the apostle who predicted them[61]
1 Cor. 11:19 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On the Resurrection of the Flesh
Now it is no matter of surprise if arguments are captiously taken from the writings of (the apostle) himself, inasmuch as there "must needs be heresies; "[260]
1 Cor. 11:19 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On the Resurrection of the Flesh
Now, since it was "needful that there should be heresies, in order that they which are approved might be made manifest; "[480]
1 Cor. 11:19 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Against Celsus Book III
Now, if these arguments hold good, why should we not defend, in the same way, the existence of heresies in Christianity? And respecting these, Paul appears to me to speak in a very striking manner when he says, "For there must be heresies among you, that they who are approved may be made manifest among you."[42]
1 Cor. 11:19 - NIV, NAB - in Hippolytus Refutation of All Heresies Book IX
, to furnish an account and refutation of those heresies that have sprung up in our own day, by which certain ignorant and presumptuous men have attempted to scatter abroad the Church, and have introduced the greatest confusion[3]
1 Cor. 11:19 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise I On the Unity of the Church
The Holy Spirit forewarns and says by the apostle, "It is needful also that there should be heresies, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you."[34]
1 Cor. 11:19 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise XII Three Books of Testimonies Against the Jews
In the first epistle of Paul to the Corinthians: "Heresies must needs be, in order that they which are approved may be made manifest among you."[758]
1 Cor. 11:19 - NIV, NAB - in Archelaus Acts of the Disputation with the Heresiarch Manes
But when Archelaus observed this, he raised his voice like a trumpet above the din, in his anxiety to restrain the multitude, and addressed them thus: "Stop, my beloved brethren, lest mayhap we be found to have the guilt of blood on us at the day of judgment; for it is written of men like this, that 'there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.'"[407]
1 Cor. 11:19 - NIV, NAB - in Lactantius Divine Institutes Book IV
Before all things, it is befitting that we should know both that He Himself and His ambassadors foretold that there must be numerous sects and heresies,[405]
1 Cor. 11:20 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria The Instructor Book II
But always must we conduct ourselves as in the Lord's presence, lest He say to us, as the apostle in indignation said to the Corinthians, "When ye come together, this is not to eat the Lord's supper."[83]
1 Cor. 11:20 - NIV, NAB - in Didache
1. But after ye are filled,[94]
1 Cor. 11:21 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria The Instructor Book II
Have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God, and shame those who have not? "[35]
1 Cor. 11:22 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria The Instructor Book III
Such ought those who are consecrated to Christ appear, and frame themselves in their whole life, as they fashion themselves in the church[152]
1 Cor. 11:23 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian Against Marcion Book V
we have proved from the sacrament of the bread and the cup[348]
1 Cor. 11:23 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Epistle LXII
For as often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup, ye shall show forth the Lord's death until He come."[22]
1 Cor. 11:23 - NIV, NAB - in Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book VIII
Being mindful, therefore, of those things that He endured for our sakes, we give Thee thanks, O God Almighty, not in such a manner as we ought, but as we are able, and fulfil His constitution: "For in the same night that He was betrayed, He took bread"[114]
1 Cor. 11:25 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian A Treatise on the Soul
and that the taste of the wine was different from that which He consecrated in memory of His blood.[127]
1 Cor. 11:26 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Epistle LXII
For Scripture says, "For as often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup, ye do show forth the Lord's death till He come."[40]
1 Cor. 11:26 - NIV, NAB - in Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book VII
We also, our Father, thank Thee for the precious blood of Jesus Christ, which was shed for us and for His precious body, whereof we celebrate this representation, as Himself appointed us, "to show forth His death."[114]
1 Cor. 11:27 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book I
"So that whosoever shall eat the bread and drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup."[11]
1 Cor. 11:27 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Epistle IX
till unfulfilled, while persecution is still raging, while the peace of the Church itself is not vet restored, they are admitted to communion, and their name is presented; and while the penitence is not yet performed, confession is not yet made, the hands Of the bishop and clergy are not yet laid upon them, the eucharist is given to them; although it is written, "Whosoever shall eat the bread and drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord."[7]
1 Cor. 11:27 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Epistle X
e Gospel law, contrary also to your respectful petition, before penitence was fulfilled, before confession even of the gravest and most heinous sin was made, before hands were placed upon the repentant by the bishops and clergy, dare to offer on their behalf, and to give them the eucharist, that is, to profane the sacred body of the Lord, although it is written, "Whosoever shall eat the bread and drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord."[4]
1 Cor. 11:27 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Epistle LXXIV
But what a crime is theirs on the one hand who receive, or on the other, theirs who are received, that their foulness not being washed away by the layer of the Church, nor their sins put away, communion being rashly seized, they touch the body and blood of the Lord, although it is written, "Whosoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord!"[39]
1 Cor. 11:27 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise III On the Lapsed
He threatens, moreover, the stubborn and froward, and denounces them, saying, "Whosoever eateth the bread or drinketh the cup of the Lord unworthily, is guilty of the body and blood of the Lord."[24]
1 Cor. 11:27 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise XII Three Books of Testimonies Against the Jews
Also in the first to the Corinthians: "Whosoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord."[761]
1 Cor. 11:28 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Commentary on Matthew Book X
But if any one, when he ought to listen to the precept, "But let each prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread," etc.,[176]
1 Cor. 11:30 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Commentary on Matthew Book X
The Apostle indeed says, writing to the Corinthians who had diverse sicknesses, "For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep."[171]
1 Cor. 11:31 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book I
"For there are certainly among us many weak and sickly, and many sleep. But if we judge ourselves, we shall not be judged."[23]
1 Cor. 11:32 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book I
"Being judged by the Lord," says the apostle, "we are chastened, that we may not be condemned with the world."[319]
1 Cor. 11:32 - NIV, NAB - in Hippolytus Refutation of All Heresies Book VI
Now the image is the Spirit that is wafted over the water; and whosoever is not fashioned into a figure of this, will perish with the world, inasmuch as he continues only potentially, and does exist actually. This, he says, is what has been spoken, "that we should not be condemned with the world."[18]
1 Cor. 11:33 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria The Instructor Book II
Necessarily, therefore, against those who have cast off shame and unsparingly abuse meals, the insatiable to whom nothing is sufficient, the apostle, in continuation, again breaks forth in a voice of displeasure: "So that, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait for one another. And if any one is hungry, let him eat at home, that ye come not together to condemnation."[36]
1 Cor. 11:33 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise XII Three Books of Testimonies Against the Jews
And again: "When ye come together to eat, wait one for another. If any is hungry, let him eat at home, that ye may not come together for judgment."[687]
1 Cor. 11:59 - NIV, NAB - in Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book VII
But if any one that is not initiated conceal himself, and partake of the same, "he eats eternal damnation; "[115]
