1st Corinthians 11
11
CHAPTER 11
1Be ye my followers, as I am of Christ.
2And, brethren, I praise you, that by all things ye be mindful of me; and as I betook to you my commandments, ye hold [or ye keep].
3But I will that ye know, that Christ is [the] head of each man; but the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
4Each man praying, or prophesying, when his head is covered, defouleth his head.
5But each woman praying, or prophesying, when her head is not covered, defouleth her head; for it is one, as if she were polled, [or were made bald, or clipped].
6And if a woman be not covered [or veiled], be she polled; and if it is foul thing to a woman to be polled, or to be made bald, cover she her head.
7But a man shall not cover his head, for he is the image and glory of God; but a woman is the glory of man.
8For a man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man.
9And the man is not made for the woman, but the woman for the man.
10Therefore the woman shall have a covering on her head, also for angels.
11Nevertheless neither the man is without the woman, neither the woman is without [the] man, in the Lord.
12For why as the woman is of the man, so the man is by the woman; but all things be of God.
13Deem ye yourselves; beseemeth [or becometh] it a woman not covered on the head to pray to God?
14Neither the kind itself teacheth us [that], for if a man nourish long hair, it is shame to him;
15but if a woman nourish long hair, it is glory to her, for hairs be given to her for covering.
16But if any man is seen to be full of strife, we have none such custom, neither the church of God.
17But this thing I command, not praising, that ye come together not into the better, but into the worse.
18First for when ye come together into the church, I hear that dissensions, either partings, be, and in part I believe.
19For it behooveth heresies to be, that they that be approved, be openly known in you.
20Therefore when ye come together into one, now it is not to eat the Lord’s supper;
21for why each man before taketh his supper to eat, and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
22Whether ye have not houses to eat and drink, or ye despise the church of God, and confound, [or shame], them that have none? [or that have not?] What shall I say to you? I praise you, but herein [or in this thing] I praise you not.
23For I have taken of the Lord that thing, which I have betaken to you. For the Lord Jesus, in what night he was betrayed, took bread,
24and did thankings [or graces], and brake, and said, Take ye, and eat ye; this is my body, which shall be betrayed for you; do ye this thing into my mind.
25Also [he took] the cup, after that he had supped, and said, This cup is the new testament in my blood; do ye this thing, as oft as ye shall drink [it], into my mind.
26For as oft as ye shall eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye shall tell [or show] the death of the Lord, till that he come [or till he come].
27Therefore whoever eateth the bread, or drinketh the cup of the Lord unworthily, he shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.
28But prove a man himself, and so eat he of that bread, and drink he of the cup.
29For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh doom, [or damnation], to him[self], not wisely deeming the body of the Lord.
30Therefore among you many be sick and feeble [or unstrong], and many sleep, [or die].
31And if we deemed wisely us-selves, we should not be deemed;
32but while we be deemed of the Lord, we be chastised, that we be not condemned with this world.
33Therefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, abide ye together.
34If any man hungereth, eat he at home, that ye come not together into doom. And I shall dispose other things, when I come.

1 Corinthians 11
11
1Imitate me, as I also imitate Christ. # Php 2:5; 1Pt 2:21
Instructions about Head Coverings
2Now I praise you # Other mss add brothers, because you always remember me and keep the traditions # 2Th 2:15; 3:6 just as I delivered # Jd 3 them to you. 3But I want you to know that Christ is the head # Eph 1:22; 4:15; Col 1:18; 2:10,19 of every man, and the man is the head of the woman, # Or the husband is the head of the wife # Gn 3:16; Eph 5:23 and God is the head of Christ. # 1Co 3:23 4Every man who prays or prophesies with something on his head dishonors # 1Pt 3:16 his head. 5But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since that is one and the same as having her head shaved. # Dt 21:11-12 6So if a woman’s head # Lit a woman is not covered, her hair should be cut off. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, she should be covered.
7A man, in fact, should not cover his head, because he is God’s image # Gn 1:27 and glory, # Mk 10:37; Lk 9:32; Jn 17:24; 2Co 3:18; 2Pt 3:18 but woman is man’s glory. 8For man did not come from woman, but woman came from man. # Gn 2:21-23; 1Tm 2:13 9And man was not created for woman, but woman for man. 10This is why a woman should have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. 11In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, and man is not independent of woman. 12For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman, and all things come from God. # Ps 104:24; Rv 3:14
13Judge # Jn 5:22-30 for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14Does not even nature itself teach # Mt 28:20; Ac 4:2; 2Tm 4:11 you that if a man has long hair it is a disgrace # 2Co 6:8 to him, 15but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? # Php 3:19 For her hair is given to her # Other mss omit to her as a covering. 16But if anyone wants to argue about this, we have no other # Or no such custom, nor do the churches of God.
The Lord’s Supper
17Now in giving the following instruction I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse. 18For to begin with, I hear that when you come together as a church there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it. 19There must, indeed, be factions # 2Pt 2:1 among you, so that those who are approved may be recognized among you. 20Therefore, when you come together, it is not really to eat the Lord’s Supper. # Mt 26:26-29; Mk 14:22-25; Lk 22:14-20; 1Co 10:14-22 21For at the meal, each one eats his own supper ahead of others. So one person is hungry while another gets drunk! 22Don’t you have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you look down on the church of God and embarrass those who have nothing? What should I say to you? Should I praise you? I do not praise you for this!
23For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: # Jd 3 On the night when He was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took bread, 24gave thanks, broke it, and said, # Other mss add “Take, eat. “This is My body, which is # Other mss add broken for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.” # Lk 22:19
25In the same way, after supper He also took the cup and said, “This cup is the new covenant # Lk 22:20 established by My blood. # Jn 6:54 Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” 26For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death # Php 2:8; 3:10 until He comes. # Mk 8:38
Self-Examination
27Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy way will be guilty of sin against the body # Lit be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28So a man should examine himself; in this way he should eat the bread and drink from the cup. 29For whoever eats and drinks without recognizing the body, # Other mss read drinks unworthily, not discerning the Lord’s body eats and drinks judgment # Mk 12:40; 1Jn 5:16 on himself. 30This is why many are sick and ill among you, and many have fallen asleep. # Jn 11:11; Ac 7:60; 1Th 4:13-15 31If we were properly evaluating ourselves, we would not be judged, 32but when we are judged, # Jn 5:22-30 we are disciplined by the Lord, so that we may not be condemned # Mt 12:41; Jn 5:22 with the world.
33Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. 34If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you gather together you will not come under judgment. And I will give instructions about the other matters whenever I come. # 1Co 4:19
