1 Corinthians 11:17

This (touto). Probably the preceding one about the head-dress of women, and transition to what follows.

I praise you not (ouk epainw). In contrast to the praise in I Corinthians 11:2.

For the better (eiv to kreisson). Neuter articular comparative of kratuv, but used as comparative of kalov, good. Attic form kreitton.

For the worse (eiv to hsson). Old comparative from hka, softly, used as comparative of kakov, bad. In N.T. only here and II Corinthians 12:15.
