1 Corinthians 11
- 1Be followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
- 2Now I praise you, brothers and sisters, that you remember me in all things, and keep the rules, as I delivered them to you.
- 3But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.
- 4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.
- 5But every woman that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head. For that is even all one as if she were shaven.
- 6For if the woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
- 7For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.
- 8For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man.
- 9Neither was the man created for the woman, but the woman for the man.
- 10For this reason the woman ought to have authority on her head because of the angels.
- 11But neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
- 12For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman, but all things of God.
- 13Judge in yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God uncovered?
- 14Does not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame to him?
- 15But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her. For her hair is given her for a covering.
- 16But if any man seem to be quarrelsome, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
- 17Now in this that I declare to you I do not praise you, that you come together not for the better, but for the worse.
- 18For first of all, when you come together in the church, I hear that there are divisions among you, and I partly believe it.
- 19For there must be also factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.
- 20When you come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.
- 21For in eating every one takes before other his own supper. And one is hungry, and another is drunken.
- 22What? Have you not houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise you the church of God, and shame those who have not? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.
- 23For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread.
- 24And when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, Take, eat. This is my body, which is broken for you. This do in remembrance of me.
- 25After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.
- 26For as often as you eat this bread, and drink this cup, you do show the Lord's death till he come.
- 27Therefore whoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
- 28But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
- 29For he who eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks judgment on himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
- 30For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
- 31For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
- 32But when we are judged, we are disciplined of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
- 33Therefore, my brothers and sisters, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
- 34And if any man hunger, let him eat at home, that you do not come together to condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
