1Be ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ.Select 1 Corinthians 11:1
2Now I praise you, brethren, that in all things you are mindful of me and keep my ordinances as I have delivered them to you.Select 1 Corinthians 11:2
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.Select 1 Corinthians 11:3
4Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered disgraceth his head.Select 1 Corinthians 11:4
5But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered disgraceth her head: for it is all one as if she were shaven.Select 1 Corinthians 11:5
6For if a woman be not covered, let her be shorn. But if it be a shame to a woman to be shorn or made bald, let her cover her head.Select 1 Corinthians 11:6
7The man indeed ought not to cover his head: because he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.Select 1 Corinthians 11:7
8For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.Select 1 Corinthians 11:8
9For the man was not created for the woman: but the woman for the man.Select 1 Corinthians 11:9
10Therefore ought the woman to have a power over her head, because of the angels.Select 1 Corinthians 11:10
11But yet neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in the Lord.Select 1 Corinthians 11:11
12For as the woman is of the man, so also is the man by the woman: but all things of God.Select 1 Corinthians 11:12
13You yourselves judge. Doth it become a woman to pray unto God uncovered?Select 1 Corinthians 11:13
14Doth not even nature itself teach you that a man indeed, if he nourish his hair, it is a shame unto him?Select 1 Corinthians 11:14
15But if a woman nourish her hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering.Select 1 Corinthians 11:15
16But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the Church of God.Select 1 Corinthians 11:16
17Now this I ordain: not praising you, that you come together, not for the better, but for the worse.Select 1 Corinthians 11:17
18For first of all I hear that when you come together in the church, there are schisms among you. And in part I believe it.Select 1 Corinthians 11:18
19For there must be also heresies: that they also, who are approved may be made manifest among you.Select 1 Corinthians 11:19
20When you come therefore together into one place, it is not now to eat the Lord's supper.Select 1 Corinthians 11:20
21For every one taketh before his own supper to eat. And one indeed is hungry and another is drunk.Select 1 Corinthians 11:21
22What, have you no houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? Do I praise you? In this I praise you not.Select 1 Corinthians 11:22
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,Select 1 Corinthians 11:23
24And giving thanks, broke and said: Take ye and eat: This is my body, which shall be delivered for you. This do for the commemoration of me.Select 1 Corinthians 11:24
25In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood. This do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me.Select 1 Corinthians 11:25
26For as often as you shall eat this bread and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come.Select 1 Corinthians 11:26
27Therefore, whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.Select 1 Corinthians 11:27
28But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread and drink of the chalice.Select 1 Corinthians 11:28
29For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.Select 1 Corinthians 11:29
30Therefore are there many infirm and weak among you: and many sleep.Select 1 Corinthians 11:30
31But if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.Select 1 Corinthians 11:31
32But whilst we are judged, we are chastised by the Lord, that we be not condemned with this world.Select 1 Corinthians 11:32
33Wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.Select 1 Corinthians 11:33
34If any man be hungry, let him eat at home; that you come not together unto judgment. And the rest I will set in order, when I come.Select 1 Corinthians 11:34
