1 Corinthians 11
11
1Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Messiah.
Headship and Coverings
2Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firm the traditions just as I passed them on to you.
3But I want you to know that the head of every man is Messiah, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Messiah is God.
4Every man praying or prophesying with 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 as having been shaved.
6For if a woman does not cover her head, let her cut off her hair. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, let her cover her head.
7For surely a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of man.
8For man is not from woman, but woman from man.
9Neither was man created for the woman’s sake, but woman for the man’s sake.
10For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.
11In any case—in the Lord—woman is not independent of man and man is not independent of woman.
12For just as the woman came from the man, so also the man comes through the woman—but all things are from God.
13Judge for yourselves—is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
14Doesn’t the natural order of things teach you—if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace for him;
15but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory, for her hair was given to her as a covering.
16But if anyone intends to be contentious, we have no such custom—nor do God’s communities.
Unity at the Lord’s Table
17But in giving you this instruction I do not praise you, for when you meet together it does more harm than good.
18For first of all, when you come together as Messiah’s community, I hear that there are divisions among you; and to some extent I believe it—
19for there must be factions among you, so that those among you who are tried and true may be evident.
20Therefore, when you meet together in the same place, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper—
21for each one takes his own supper beforehand, and one goes hungry while another gets drunk.
22What! It is certainly not that you do not have houses, is it? Don’t you have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise God’s community and try to humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? I don’t praise you for this!
23For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you—that the Lord Yeshua, on the night He was betrayed, took matzah ;
24and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is 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 it, 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 the bread or drinks the Lord’s cup in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
28But a man must examine himself, and then let him eat of the bread and drink from the cup.
29For the one who eats and drinks without recognizing the body, eats and drinks judgment on himself.
30For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and quite a few have died.
31For if we were judging ourselves thoroughly, we wouldn’t be coming under judgment.
32But when we are judged, we are being disciplined by the Lord so that we might not be condemned along with the world.
33So then, my brothers and sisters, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
34If anyone is hungry let him eat at home, so that when you meet it doesn’t lead to judgment. And the rest I will put in order when I come.

1 Corinthians 11
11
1Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
Christian Worship
2Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, 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, dishonoureth his head. 5But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. 6For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. 7For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as 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 cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels. 11Nevertheless 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 comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? 14Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto 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 contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
The Lord's Supper
17Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse. 18For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. 19For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. 20When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper. 21For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken. 22What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. 23For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: 24and when he had given thanks, he brake 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: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 26For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. 27Wherefore whosoever 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 that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to 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 chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. 33Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. 34And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
