111 Corinthians 11

1Followers of me become ye, as I also am of Christ.Select 1 Corinthians 11:1

2And I praise you, brethren, that in all things ye remember me, and according as I did deliver to you, the deliverances ye keep,Select 1 Corinthians 11:2

3and I wish you to know that of every man the head is the Christ, and the head of a woman is the husband, and the head of Christ is God.Select 1 Corinthians 11:3

4Every man praying or prophesying, having the head covered, doth dishonour his head,Select 1 Corinthians 11:4

5and every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered, doth dishonour her own head, for it is one and the same thing with her being shaven,Select 1 Corinthians 11:5

6for if a woman is not covered--then let her be shorn, and if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven--let her be covered;Select 1 Corinthians 11:6

7for a man, indeed, ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God, and a woman is the glory of a man,Select 1 Corinthians 11:7

8for a man is not of a woman, but a woman is of a man,Select 1 Corinthians 11:8

9for a man also was not created because of the woman, but a woman because of the man;Select 1 Corinthians 11:9

10because of this the woman ought to have a token of authority upon the head, because of the messengers;Select 1 Corinthians 11:10

11but neither is a man apart from a woman, nor a woman apart from a man, in the Lord,Select 1 Corinthians 11:11

12for as the woman is of the man, so also the man is through the woman, and the all things are of God.Select 1 Corinthians 11:12

13In your own selves judge ye; is it seemly for a woman uncovered to pray to God?Select 1 Corinthians 11:13

14doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man indeed have long hair, a dishonour it is to him?Select 1 Corinthians 11:14

15and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her;Select 1 Corinthians 11:15

16and if any one doth think to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the assemblies of God.Select 1 Corinthians 11:16

17And this declaring, I give no praise, because not for the better, but for the worse ye come together;Select 1 Corinthians 11:17

18for first, indeed, ye coming together in an assembly, I hear of divisions being among you, and partly I believe it ,Select 1 Corinthians 11:18

19for it behoveth sects also to be among you, that those approved may become manifest among you;Select 1 Corinthians 11:19

20ye, then, coming together at the same place--it is not to eat the Lord's supper;Select 1 Corinthians 11:20

21for each his own supper doth take before in the eating, and one is hungry, and another is drunk;Select 1 Corinthians 11:21

22why, have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or the assembly of God do ye despise, and shame those not having? what may I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I do not praise!Select 1 Corinthians 11:22

23For I--I received from the Lord that which also I did deliver to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread,Select 1 Corinthians 11:23

24and having given thanks, he brake, and said, `Take ye, eat ye, this is my body, that for you is being broken; this do ye--to the remembrance of me.'Select 1 Corinthians 11:24

25In like manner also the cup after the supping, saying, `This cup is the new covenant in my blood; this do ye, as often as ye may drink it --to the remembrance of me;'Select 1 Corinthians 11:25

26for as often as ye may eat this bread, and this cup may drink, the death of the Lord ye do shew forth--till he may come;Select 1 Corinthians 11:26

27so that whoever may eat this bread or may drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, guilty he shall be of the body and blood of the Lord:Select 1 Corinthians 11:27

28and let a man be proving himself, and so of the bread let him eat, and of the cup let him drink;Select 1 Corinthians 11:28

29for he who is eating and drinking unworthily, judgment to himself he doth eat and drink--not discerning the body of the Lord.Select 1 Corinthians 11:29

30Because of this, among you many are weak and sickly, and sleep do many;Select 1 Corinthians 11:30

31for if ourselves we were discerning, we would not be being judged,Select 1 Corinthians 11:31

32and being judged by the Lord, we are chastened, that with the world we may not be condemned;Select 1 Corinthians 11:32

33so then, my brethren, coming together to eat, for one another wait ye;Select 1 Corinthians 11:33

34and if any one is hungry, at home let him eat, that to judgment ye may not come together; and the rest, whenever I may come, I shall arrange.Select 1 Corinthians 11:34
