I must apologize in advance because I'm sure I'm about to ask a redundant question. I've been up a ladder painting the eaves all afternoon and my brain isn't firing on all four cylinders. 
 
1Co11:2 EPAINW DE UMAS OTI PANTA MOU MEMNHSQE...
 
1Co11:17 TOUTO DE PARAGGELLWN OUK EPAINW OTI OUK EIS TO KREISSON ALLA EIS TO HSSON SUNERCESQE
 
I'd read TOUTO DE PARAGGELLWN as meaning "now in this [new] subject I don't praise you.... And I seem to be supported by the brackets in the Elberfelder "In dem ich aber dieses (d. h. das was folgt) vorschreibe.." = (i.e. that which follows)
 
But I've just bumped into p.155 of Leon Morris' 1Corinthians where he is somewhat assertive that : "'commanding you this'...would naturally refer to the preceding (cf. NEB in 'giving these injunctions')"
 
?
