AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 11:10 Therefore the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, for the sake of the angels [so as not to offend them]. |
Subject: What does "because of the angels" mean ? |
Bible Note: Hi GeneZ, I stand corrected on the gender of the angels. What I had in mind when I wrote that is that the angels serve God alone. They don't have to worry about doing things for their spouses like we in the flesh do. They aren't concerned about pleasing anyone but the Lord. 1 Corinthians 7:32, "But I want you to be free from concern. One who is unmarried is concerned about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord; but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife, and his interests are divided." Thank you for the correction. From the heart, Ray |
