111 Corinthians 11

CHAP. XI. / 1 He reprooueth them, because in holy assemblies, 4 their men prayed with their heads couered, and 6 women with their heads vncouered, 17 and because generally their meetings were not for

1Be yee followers of mee, euen as I also am of Christ.Select 1 Corinthians 11:1

2Now I prayse you brethren, that you remember me in all things, and keepe the ordinances, as I deliuered them to you.Select 1 Corinthians 11:2

3But I would haue you knowe, that the head of euery man is Christ: and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.Select 1 Corinthians 11:3

4Euery man praying or prophecying, hauing his head couered, dishonoureth his head.Select 1 Corinthians 11:4

5But euery woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head vncouered, dishonoureth her head: for that is euen all one as if she were shauen.Select 1 Corinthians 11:5

6For if the woman be not couered, let her also bee shorne: but if it bee a shame for a woman to be shorne or shauen, let her be couered.Select 1 Corinthians 11:6

7For a man in deede ought not to couer his head, forasmuch as hee 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

9Neither was the man created for he woman: but the woman for the man.Select 1 Corinthians 11:9

10For this cause ought the woman to haue power on her head, because of the Angels.Select 1 Corinthians 11:10

11Neuerthelesse, neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man in the Lord.Select 1 Corinthians 11:11

12For as the woman is of the man: euen so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.Select 1 Corinthians 11:12

13Iudge in your selues, is it comely that a woman pray vnto God vncouered?Select 1 Corinthians 11:13

14Doeth not euen nature it selfe teach you, that if a man haue long haire, it is a shame vnto him?Select 1 Corinthians 11:14

15But if a woman haue long haire, it is a glory to her: for her haire is giuen her for a couering.Select 1 Corinthians 11:15

16But if any man seeme to be contentious, we haue no such custome, neither the Churches of God.Select 1 Corinthians 11:16

17Now in this that I declare vnto you, I praise you not, that you come together not for the better, but for the worse.Select 1 Corinthians 11:17

18For first of all when yee come together in the Church, I heare that there be diuisions among you, and I partly beleeue it.Select 1 Corinthians 11:18

19For there must bee also heresies among you, that they which are approucd may be made manifest among you.Select 1 Corinthians 11:19

20When yee come together therefore into one place, this is not to eate the Lords Supper.Select 1 Corinthians 11:20

21For in eating, euery one taketh before other, his owne supper: and one is hungry, and an other is drunken.Select 1 Corinthians 11:21

22What, haue ye not houses to eate and to drinke in? Or despise yee the Church of God, and shame them that haue not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I prayse you not.Select 1 Corinthians 11:22

23For I haue receiued of the Lord that which also I deliuered vnto you, that the Lord Iesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, tooke bread:Select 1 Corinthians 11:23

24And when he had giuen thanks, he brake it, and sayd, Take, eate, this is my body, which is broken for you: this doe in remembrance of mee.Select 1 Corinthians 11:24

25After the same manner also hee tooke the cup when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new Testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drinke it, in remembrance of me.Select 1 Corinthians 11:25

26For as often as ye eate this bread, and drinke this cup, yee doe shew the Lords death till he come.Select 1 Corinthians 11:26

27Wherefore, whosoeuer shall eate this bread, and drinke this cup of the Lord vnworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.Select 1 Corinthians 11:27

28But let a man examine himselfe, and so let him eate of that bread, and drinke of that cup.Select 1 Corinthians 11:28

29For hee that eateth and drinketh vnworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himselfe, not discerning the Lords body.Select 1 Corinthians 11:29

30For this cause many are weake and sickly among you, and many sleepe.Select 1 Corinthians 11:30

31For if we would iudge our selues, we should not be iudged.Select 1 Corinthians 11:31

32But when we are iudged, we are chastened of the Lord, that wee should not be condemned with the world.Select 1 Corinthians 11:32

33Wherefore my brethren, when ye come together to eate, tary one for another.Select 1 Corinthians 11:33

34And if any man hunger, let him eate at home, that ye come not together vnto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order, when I come.Select 1 Corinthians 11:34
