1 Corinthians 11:10 Philip Payne 1 Corinthians 11:10 exousia

Payne on verse 10: the woman has authority (exousia), not under authority

Mike presents Payne's egalitarian reading of the authority verse.

1 Corinthians 11:10 Craig Keener 1 Corinthians 11:10 exousia

Keener on verse 10: the authority belongs to the woman, not someone over her

Mike presents Keener's strongest egalitarian claim about verse 10.

1 Corinthians 11:10 Tom Schreiner Craig Keener 1 Corinthians 11:10

Question 11: Does the woman have a symbol of authority on her head, or authority over her own head? (exousia debate)

Mike addresses one of the most debated verses in the passage.

1 Corinthians 11:10-11 Tom Schreiner opheilei 1 Corinthians 11:10-11

Schreiner points 2-4: 'ought' implies obligation not freedom; vv.3-9 clearly about male headship; v.11 is a contrast

Mike presents additional arguments against the egalitarian reading of exousia.

Tom Schreiner BDAG exousia

Exousia CAN be used symbolically: BDAG, Greek fathers, and Diodorus of Sicily support this

Mike counters Keener's claim that symbolic exousia is 'unnatural Greek.'

1 Corinthians 11:10 1 Corinthians 11:10 exousia kalumma

Early textual variant substitutes 'covering' (kalumma) for 'authority' (exousia) in verse 10

Mike provides additional evidence from manuscript tradition.
