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
1Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.
2Now I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you. 3But I would have you know that the head#11:3 or, origin of every man is Christ, and the head#11:3 or, origin of the woman is man, and the head#11:3 or, origin of Christ is God. 4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head. 5But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved. 6For if a woman is not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or be shaved, let her be covered. 7For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man. 8For man is not from woman, but woman from man; 9for man wasn’t created for the woman, but woman for the man. 10For this cause the woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels.
11Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord. 12For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God. 13Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled? 14Doesn’t even nature 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 a glory to her, for her hair is given to her for a covering. 16But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God’s assemblies.
17But in giving you this command I don’t praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse. 18For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist among you, and I partly believe it. 19For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you. 20When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat. 21For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunken. 22What, don’t you have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise God’s assembly and put them to shame who don’t have enough? What shall I tell you? Shall I praise you? In this I don’t praise you.
23For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread. 24When he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “Take, eat. This is my body, which is broken for you. Do this in memory of me.” 25In the same way he also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink, in memory of me.” 26For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
27Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord’s cup in a way unworthy of the Lord will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. 28But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy way eats and drinks judgment to himself if he doesn’t discern the Lord’s body. 30For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep. 31For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn’t be judged. 32But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world. 33Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. 34But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.
