• This is the order of power, ascending to Him who is supreme. (“1 Corinthians 11” by J.N. Darby)
• Here on earth there is a relative order established of God; and as the man is woman's head, so the Christ is the head of every man, and God is the Christ's head. It were still more perilously false to use these words to disparage Christ than to turn aside their force to deny the subjection of woman to man. (“Notes on 1 Corinthians 11:2-16” by W. Kelly)
