Gill's Notes on the Bible
Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. c] These words more properly close the preceding chapter, than begin a new one, and refer to the rules therein laid down, and which the apostle would have the Corinthians follow him in, as he did Christ: that as he sought, both in private and public, and more especially in his ministerial service, to do all things to the glory of God, and not for his own popular applause, in which he imitated Christ, who sought not his own glory, but the glory of him that sent him so he would have them do all they did in the name of Christ, and to the glory of God by him: and that as he studied to exercise a conscience void of offence to God and man, in doing which he was a follower of Christ, who was holy in his nature, and harmless and inoffensive in his conversation; so he was desirous that they should likewise be blameless, harmless, and without offence until the day of Christ: and that whereas he endeavoured to please men in all things lawful and indifferent, wherein he copied after Christ, who by his affable and courteous behaviour, and humble deportment, sought to please and gratify all with whom he conversed; so he would have them not to mind high things, but condescend to men of low estates, and become all things to all, that they might gain some as he did: and once more, that as he sought not his own pleasure and advantage, but the salvation of others, in imitation of Christ, who pleased not himself, but took upon him, and bore cheerfully, the reproaches of men, that he might procure good for them; so the apostle suggests, that it would be right in them not to seek to have their own wills in every thing, but rather to please their neighbour for good to edification.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Be ye followers of me - Imitate my example in the matter now under discussion. As I deny myself; as I seek to give no offence to anyone; as I endeavor not to alarm the prejudices of others, but in all things to seek their salvation, so do you. This verse belongs to the previous chapter, and should not have been separated from it. It is the close of the discussion there.
Even as I also am of Christ - I make Christ my example. He is my model in all things; and if you follow him, and follow me as far as I follow him, you will not err. This is the only safe example; and if we follow this, we can never go astray.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XI.
The apostle reprehends the Corinthians for several
irregularities in their manner of conducting public worship;
the men praying or prophesying with their heads covered, and
the women with their heads uncovered, contrary to custom,
propriety, and decency, 1-6.
Reasons why they should act differently, 7-16.
They are also reproved for their divisions and heresies, 17-19.
And for the irregular manner in which they celebrated the Lord's
Supper, 20-22.
The proper manner of celebrating this holy rite laid down by
the apostle, 23-26.
Directions for a profitable receiving of the Lord's Supper,
and avoiding the dangerous consequences of communicating
unworthily, 27-34.
NOTES ON CHAP. XI.
Verse 1 Corinthians 11:1. Be ye followers of me — This verse certainly belongs to the preceding chapter, and is here out of all proper place and connection.
