1 Cor 11 discusses the proper attitude of submission in worship and secondly the proper attitude for participation in communion. Paul seems to be giving specific guiding instructions for the current circumstances in the Corinthian church, which likely does not have the same application today. However, the submissive attitude described by Paul probably is applicable to our relationships with one another in the church (and in marriage) today. Paul's idea of submission in this discussion seems to emphasize humility, commitment, cooperation, and unity more than supremacy or inferiority. As for communion, Paul says we should not have an indifferent attitude when eating the bread and drinking from the cup of the Lord. He says, "you should examine yourself" , since we are remembering that Christ died for our sins. Without acknowledging the meaning of communion, one participating is "guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord". There should be an attitude of reverence before God and respectful consideration of the unity of the body of Christ.
