1 Corinthians 11
11
1Become imitators of me as I also am an imitator of Moshiach.#11:1 see Ac 21:18-26
2Now, I commend you that in all things you have remembered me and you hold fast to the masoret torat haShlichim just as I transmitted and handed them over to you.#11:2 see Yd 1:3
3But I want you to have da'as that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach is the rosh (head) of every one of the Bnei Adam, and the rosh of an isha is the ben Adam (Man, Ba'al),#11:3 Gn 3:16 and the rosh of Moshiach is Hashem.#11:3 Gn 3:16
4Every ben Adam davening or speaking forth a nevu'ah (prophecy) having anything hanging down over his rosh brings bushah (shame) upon his rosh.
5But every isha davening or speaking forth a nevu'ah (prophecy) in shul, begile rosh (with head uncovered), brings bushah (shame) upon her rosh, for it is one and the same thing to uncover the rosh as it is for the rosh of the isha having been shaved.#11:5 Dt 21:12
6For, if an isha is not covered, also let her be shorn. But als (since) it is in fact a thing of bushah (shame) for an isha to be shorn or to be shaved, let her be covered.
7For a ben Adam indeed ought not to be covered on the rosh, being the demut HASHEM#11:7 Gn 1:26 and the kavod Hashem, and the Isha being the kavod (glory), the glorious reflection of Adam.#11:7 Gn 1:26; 5:1; 9:6
8For Adam is not out of the Isha but Isha out of Adam (Man).#11:8 Gn 2:21-23
9Indeed, Adam was not created because of the Isha, but the Isha because of Adam (Man).#11:9 Gn 2:18
10Because of this, the Isha ought to have a kesut rosh (head covering) of marut (authority, discipline) on her rosh because of the malachim.
11However, neither is Isha without Adam (Man) nor Adam (Man) without Isha in Hashem.
12For just as the Isha comes out of Adam (Man),#11:12 Gn 2:21-23 so also the ben Adam (Man) comes through the Isha#11:12 Gn 3:15-16 but all things are of Hashem.#11:12 Gn 1:1; Ps 24:1; 50:12; 89:11
13You yourselves be the dayan (judge): is it fitting for an isha to offer tefillos to Hashem#11:13 in shul begile rosh (with head uncovered)?
14Does not teva (nature) itself give you the shiur (lesson) that if a ben Adam wears a long hair-do of a ladyʼs coiffure, it is a dishonor to him?
15But if an isha wears a long hairdo of a ladyʼs coiffure, it is her kavod?#11:15 Song 4:1 Because the long hair has been given to her instead of the sterntichel (kerchief) or kesut rosh (head covering).
16But if anyone presumes in his thinking to be contentious, we have no such minhag, nor do the kehillot of Hashem.#11:16 throughout the world
17But in giving the divrei Torah that follows I give no commendation,#11:17 11:2 because when you assemble as the shul of Moshiach, it is not for the better that you assemble, but for the worse.
18Ershtins (first of all), indeed when you come together as the kehillah#11:18 Ex 12:6 I hear there exist machlokot#11:18 1C 1:10 (divisions) and schisms among you, and partly I believe it.
19For it is necessary also for kitot (sects) of minut (heresy), of kefirah (heresy, denial) to be among you that also the approved ones may become manifest among you.#11:19 Dt 13:3
20Therefore, your farbrengen gatherings in one kahal (community) are not for the purpose of having Moshiachʼs Tish.
21For each one rushes ahead with his own seudah (meal). One is hungerik (hungry), one has passed out in his schnapps.
22Hey, you people, do you not have houses in which to eat and to drink? Or do you despise the Kehillah (congregation) of G-d? And do you bring bushah (shame), even humiliation, on the ones having nothing? What should I say to you? Will I commend you? In this I do not commend you people!
23For I received from Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu that which also I transmitted and handed on to you, that Adoneinu Yehoshua, on the very lailah (night) in which he was betrayed, took the Pesach matzoh,
24And, having made the HaMotzi, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach offered the betzi'at halechem (breaking of the bread) and said, ZEH HU VESARI HANNIVTZA BA'ADCHEM; ZOT ASU L'ZIKRONI. (This is my flesh, which is broken on your behalf. Do this in memory of me.)
25In like manner, after eating the [Pesach] seudah, also [after the bracha over] the [Kiddush] Cup, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, This#11:25 Kiddush Kos (Cup) is the BRIT CHADASHA#11:25 Jer 31:31; 32:40 in my DAHM (blood).#11:25 Ex 24:6-8; Zech 9:11 This do, as often as you drink, in ZIKARON#11:25 Josh 4:7 (remembrance) of me.
26For as often as you eat this Pesach matzoh and drink from this Pesach Kiddush Cup, you do proclaim the mavet#11:26 Isa 53:8-9; Dan 9:26 of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu until the Bias HaMoshiach.
27Therefore, whoever eats the Pesach matzoh or drinks the Kiddush Cup of#11:27 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu unworthily will be guilty and answerable for the basar and the dahm of#11:27 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu.
28But let a ben Adam apply cheshbon hanefesh to himself and in that manner let him eat of the Pesach matzoh and let him drink of the Pesach Kiddush Cup.
29For the one eating and drinking is the one eating and drinking mishpat to himself when not discerning the basar (body).
30Because of this, many among you are weak and there are cholim (sick) and a number are sleeping the sleep of the mesim.
31But if we were judging ourselves,#11:31 in teshuva we would not be brought into mishpat (judgment).#11:31 Ps 32:5
32But, being brought into mishpat (judgment) by Hashem, we are being disciplined, that we may not be condemned#11:32 to Onesh Gehinnom with the Olam Hazeh.#11:32 Ps 115:5; 118:18; Prov 3:11,12
33Therefore, Achim b'Moshiach of mine, when you have your farbrengen gatherings and you gather for Tish, wait for one another.
34If anyone is so hungerik#11:34 1C 11:21 (hungry) [that he cannot wait], in his home let him eat, lest for mishpat you have kehillah. And as far as the hemshech (remaining part) is concerned, whenever I come I will set b'seder (in order).

1Imitate me as I imitate Christ.
Advice about Worship
2I praise you for always thinking about me and for carefully following the traditions that I handed down to you.
3However, I want you to realize that Christ has authority over every man, a husband has authority over his wife, and God has authority over Christ. 4Every man who covers his head when he prays or speaks what God has revealed dishonors the one who has authority over him. 5Every woman who prays or speaks what God has revealed and has her head uncovered while she speaks dishonors the one who has authority over her. She is like the woman who has her head shaved. 6So if a woman doesn’t cover her head, she should cut off her hair. If it’s a disgrace for a woman to cut off her hair or shave her head, she should cover her head. 7A man should not cover his head. He is God’s image and glory. The woman, however, is man’s glory. 8Clearly, man wasn’t made from woman but woman from man. 9Man wasn’t created for woman but woman for man. 10Therefore, a woman should wear something on her head to show she is under ⌞someone’s⌟ authority, out of respect for the angels.
11Yet, as believers in the Lord, women couldn’t exist without men and men couldn’t exist without women. 12As a woman came into existence from a man, so men come into existence by women, but everything comes from God.
13Judge your own situation. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14Doesn’t nature itself teach you that it is disgraceful for a man to have long hair? 15Doesn’t it teach you that it is a woman’s pride to wear her hair long? Her hair is given to her in place of a covering. 16If anyone wants to argue about this ⌞they can’t, because⌟ we don’t have any custom like this—nor do any of the churches of God.
17I have no praise for you as I instruct you in the following matter: When you gather, it results in more harm than good. 18In the first place, I hear that when you gather as a church you split up into opposing groups. I believe some of what I hear. 19Factions have to exist in order to make it clear who the genuine believers among you are.
20When you gather in the same place, you can’t possibly be eating the Lord’s Supper. 21Each of you eats his own supper ⌞without waiting for each other⌟. So one person goes hungry and another gets drunk. 22Don’t you have homes in which to eat and drink? Do you despise God’s church and embarrass people who don’t have anything to eat? What can I say to you? Should I praise you? I won’t praise you for this. 23After all, I passed on to you what I had received from the Lord.
On the night he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took bread 24and spoke a prayer of thanksgiving. He broke the bread and said, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me.” 25When supper was over, he did the same with the cup. He said, “This cup is the new promise #11:25 Or “testament,” or “covenant.” made with my blood. Every time you drink from it, do it to remember me.” 26Every time you eat this bread and drink from this cup, you tell about the Lord’s death until he comes.
27Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks from the Lord’s cup in an improper way will be held responsible for the Lord’s body and blood. 28With this in mind, individuals must determine whether what they are doing is proper when they eat the bread and drink from the cup. 29Anyone who eats and drinks is eating and drinking a judgment against himself when he doesn’t recognize the Lord’s body.
30This is the reason why many of you are weak and sick and quite a number ⌞of you⌟ have died. 31If we were judging ourselves correctly, we would not be judged. 32But when the Lord judges us, he disciplines us so that we won’t be condemned along with the rest of the world.
33Therefore, brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, wait for each other. 34Whoever is hungry should eat at home so that you don’t have a gathering that brings judgment on you.
I will give directions concerning the other matters when I come.
