- 11:1Be imitators of me, as I also am of Christ.
- 11:2But I praise you because in all things you have remembered me and hold fast the things that I have handed down even as I handed them down to you.
- 11:3But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of Christ.
- 11:4Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered disgraces his head.
- 11:5But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered disgraces her head; for it is one and the same as she who is shaved.
- 11:6For 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 to be shaved, let her be covered.
- 11:7For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is God's image and glory; but the woman is the glory of the man.
- 11:8For man is not out of woman, but woman out of man;
- 11:9For also man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake of the man.
- 11:10Therefore the woman ought to have a sign of submission to authority on her head for the sake of the angels.
- 11:11However neither is woman without man, nor man without woman, in the Lord.
- 11:12For just as the woman is out from the man, so also is the man through the woman; but all things are out from God.
- 11:13Judge this in your own selves: Is it fitting for a woman to pray uncovered to God?
- 11:14Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him,
- 11:15But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, because her long hair has been given to her for a covering.
- 11:16But if anyone seems to be contentious, we do not have such a custom of being so, neither the churches of God.
- 11:17But I give you this charge and do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.
- 11:18For first of all, when you come together in the church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and some part of it I believe.
- 11:19For there must even be parties among you, that those who are approved may become manifest among you.
- 11:20When therefore you come together in the same place, it is not to eat the Lord's supper;
- 11:21For in your eating, each one takes his own supper first, and one is hungry and the other is drunk.
- 11:22Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and put those to shame who have not? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I do not praise you.
- 11:23For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread,
- 11:24And having given thanks, He broke it and said, This is My body, which is given for you; this do unto the remembrance of Me.
- 11:25Similarly also the cup after they had dined, saying, This cup is the new covenant established in My blood; this do, as often as you drink it, unto the remembrance of Me.
- 11:26For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you declare the Lord's death until He comes.
- 11:27So then whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.
- 11:28But let a man prove himself, and in this way let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
- 11:29For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not discern the body.
- 11:30Because of this many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep.
- 11:31But if we discerned ourselves, we would not be judged.
- 11:32But being judged by the Lord, we are disciplined that we may not be condemned with the world.
- 11:33So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
- 11:34If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, that you may not come together for judgment. And the rest I will set in order when I come.
