  Paul is stressing that, with diversity, there is the call to work together for the common good. In the Body of Christ, gifts are given not for the private edification of the recipients but for the common good. To act as a Lone Ranger may be credible political philosophy in some circles, but it is bad theology and has little to do with the Gospel.

  http://www.sojourners.com/soj0003/000349.html
  An article by Katrina Poetker, who teaches biblical and religious studies and anthropology at Fresno Pacific University in California. She says Paul used four primary metaphors that reveal how he envisioned the church and why divisions were inappropriate within it-- kinship, the human body, the church as God's building, and the field-- all of which contribute to his organic vision of connectedness and mutual dependence within the Christian community.

  http://www.religion-online.org/cgi-bin/relsearchd.dll?id=345&action=showitem

From the information presented in 2 Cor 10:10 and 11:6, it appears that Paul was deemed ineffective in some form of public speech that jeopardized his claim to apostolic authority at Corinth. At the time this was written, the author was Clement-Muehl Associate Professor of Communication Arts at Yale Divinity School.

This model represents that type of house where Corinthian Christians would have met. It is much bigger than most house churches would have been, however.

Sermons and Commentaries on Paul's Letters

  Tertullian (160-223)

• On the Apparel of Women, Christian Classics Ethereal Library
  http://www.ccel.org/fathers2/ANF-04/anf04-06.htm
  In the opening words before telling women what they should wear, Tertullian makes the following infamous remarks: "And do you not know that you are (each) an Eve? The sentence of God on this sex of yours lives in this age: the guilt must of necessity live too. You are the devil's gateway: you are the unsealer of that (forbidden) tree: you are the first deserter of the divine law: you are she who persuaded him whom the devil was not valiant enough to attack. You destroyed so easily God's image, man. On account of your desert-that is, death-even the Son of God had to die."
