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
1Follow my example, just as I follow the example of Christ.
The Report About Head Coverings
2I commend you for remembering what I taught you and for staying true to exactly what I passed on to you. 3But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God. 4Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. 5But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head. It’s the same as having her head shaved. 6If a woman doesn’t cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off. But if it’s a disgrace for her to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.
7A man shouldn’t cover his head, since he’s the likeness and glory of God. But woman is the glory of man. 8Man didn’t come from woman, but woman came from man. 9Also, man wasn’t created for woman, but woman was created for man. 10That’s why a woman should have authority over her own head, because of the angels. 11But here’s how things are for those who belong to the Lord. Woman isn’t independent of man, and man isn’t independent of woman. 12Though woman first came from man, now man is born from woman. And everything comes from God.
13You be the judge. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God without covering her head? 14Doesn’t the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, that’s disgraceful to him, 15but that if a woman has long hair, that’s her glory? Long hair is given to her as a covering. 16If anyone wants to argue about this, let me simply say that we don’t have any other practice, and none of God’s churches do either.
The Report About Selfishness at the Lord’s Supper
17In the following matters, I don’t commend you, because your meetings are doing more harm than good. 18First, here’s what people are telling me. When you get together as a church, you split up into opposing groups. And in some ways, I believe that, 19because those of you who are genuine are bound to stand out as different! 20But when you come together, it’s not the Lord’s Supper that you’re eating. 21As you eat, some of you go ahead and eat your own private meals. Because of this, one person doesn’t get enough to eat, while another gets drunk. 22Don’t you have your own homes to eat and drink in? Or do you think so little of God’s church that you’re prepared to humiliate those who have nothing? What should I say to you? Should I praise you? Certainly not about this!
23I passed on to you what I received from the Lord. On the night the Lord Jesus was handed over to his enemies, he took bread, 24and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, given for you. Every time you eat it, do this in memory of me.” 25In the same way, he took the cup after supper and said, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Every time you drink it, do this in memory of me.” 26Whenever you eat the bread and drink the cup, you’re announcing the Lord’s death until he comes again.
27So eat the bread and drink the cup of the Lord in the right way. Don’t do it in a way that isn’t worthy of him. If you do, you’ll be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28Everyone should examine themselves carefully before they eat the bread and drink from the cup. 29Whoever eats and drinks must recognize the body of Christ. If they don’t, they’ll bring judgment upon themselves. 30That’s why many of you are weak and sick, and a number of you have died. 31We should think more carefully about what we’re doing. Then we wouldn’t be found guilty for this. 32Still, when the Lord judges us in this way, he’s correcting us so that we won’t be judged in the end along with the rest of the world.
33My brothers and sisters, when you meet for the Lord’s Supper, you should all eat together. 34Anyone who’s hungry should eat something at home first. That way, when you meet together, you won’t be judged.
When I come, I’ll give you more directions.
