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 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.
