if any man be ignorant—wilfully; not wishing to recognize these ordinances and my apostolic authority in enjoining them.
let him be ignorant—I leave him to his ignorance: it will be at his own peril; I feel it a waste of words to speak anything further to convince him. An argument likely to have weight with the Corinthians, who admired "knowledge" so much.
