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, just as I imitate Christ.
2I praise and appreciate you because you remember me in everything and you firmly hold to the #The following discourse covers appropriate conduct and relationships within the church, as well as within church-related activities.traditions [the substance of my instructions], just as I have passed them on to you. 3But I want you to understand that Christ is the head (authority over) of every man, and man is the head of woman, and God is the head of Christ. 4Every man who prays or #The references to men or women prophesying (here and v 5) indicate that Paul has church meetings in mind, where the speaker is leading the congregation in prayer or addressing them.prophesies with something on his head dishonors his head [and the One who is his head]. 5And every woman who prays or prophesies when she has her #In public, respectable women wore their hair done up in a modest style.

In one of Aristophanes’ comedies, for example, head shaving is recommended for a woman whose son is cowardly or otherwise worthless.woman whose head is shaved [in disgrace]. 6If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and #There is little doubt that this would appear disgraceful and embarrassing, but Paul is essentially providing his readers a simple way to determine for themselves if a woman should cover her head while prophesying or leading prayer in church.if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, she should cover her head. 7A man ought not have his head covered [during worship], since he is the image and [reflected] glory of God; but the woman is [the expression of] man’s glory. 8For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man; 9for indeed man was not created for the sake of woman, but woman for the sake of man. 10Therefore the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, #This may be an indication that angels are present at gatherings of believers.for the sake of the angels [so as not to offend them]. 11Nevertheless, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. 12For as the woman originates from the man, so also man is born through the woman; and all things [whether male or female] originate from God [as their Creator]. 13#This verse acknowledges custom as another, separate argument for a woman’s head covering (v 5).Judge for yourselves; is it proper for a woman to offer prayer to God [publicly] with her head uncovered? 14Does not common sense itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him, 15but if a woman has long hair, it is her ornament and glory? For her long hair is given to her as a covering. 16Now if anyone is inclined to be contentious [about this], we have no other practice [in worship than this], nor do the churches of God [in general].
17But in giving this next instruction, I do not praise you, because when you meet together it is not for the better but for the worse. 18For, in the first place, when you meet together in church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and in part I believe it, 19for [doubtless] there have to be factions among you, so that those who are of approved character may be clearly recognized among you. 20So when you meet together, it is not to eat the #When Christ instituted the Lord’s Supper (or the Lord’s Table), it was the Passover meal with the special rituals and explanations that He introduced (Matt 26:26 ff; Luke 22:15 ff). The description given here indicates that the early church celebrated the Lord’s Supper in similar fashion by having a full meal (the so-called agape “love” feast) that included the special rites with the bread and wine (see v 21).Lord’s Supper, 21for when you eat, each one hurries to get his own supper first [not waiting for others or the poor]. So one goes hungry while another gets drunk. 22What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you show contempt for the church of God and humiliate those [impoverished believers] who have nothing? What will I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? In this I will not praise you!
The Lord’s Supper
23 # Many scholars believe this may be the first written description of the Lord’s Supper since this letter from Paul is dated earlier than any of the Gospels. For I received from the Lord Himself that [instruction] which I passed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is (represents) My body, which is [offered as a sacrifice] for you. Do this in [affectionate] remembrance of Me.” 25In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant [ratified and established] in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in [affectionate] remembrance of Me.” 26For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are [symbolically] proclaiming [the fact of] the Lord’s death until He comes [again].
27So then whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in a way that is unworthy [of Him] will be guilty of [profaning and sinning against] the body and blood of the Lord. 28But a person must [prayerfully] examine himself [and his relationship to Christ], and only when he has done so should he eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29For anyone who eats and drinks [without solemn reverence and heartfelt gratitude for the sacrifice of Christ], eats and drinks a judgment on himself if he does not #I.e. respect Christ’s sacrifice and his fellow believers for whom Christ also died.recognize the body [of Christ]. 30That [careless and unworthy participation] is the reason why many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep [in death]. 31But if we evaluated and judged ourselves honestly [recognizing our shortcomings and correcting our behavior], we would not be judged. 32But when we [fall short and] are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined [by undergoing His correction] so that we will not be condemned [to eternal punishment] along with the world.
33So then, my brothers and sisters, when you come together to eat [the Lord’s Supper], wait for one another [and see to it that no one is left out]. 34If anyone is too hungry [to wait], let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment [on yourselves]. About the remaining matters [of which I was informed], I will take care of them when I come.
