1 Corinthians
Chapter 11

11:1 Become* imitators of me, just-as I also am of Christ.


11:2 Now I praise you* brethren that you* have been reminded of me in all things and are holding-onto the traditions, just-as I gave them to you*.

11:3 But I wish you* to know, that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of the Christ is God.

11:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having something on his head, shames his head.

11:5 But every woman praying or prophesying with the head unveiled shames her head; for* it is one and the same thing, as if she had been shaved.

11:6 For* if a woman is not veiling herself, let her hair also be sheared, but if it is shameful to a woman to be sheared or shaved, let her be veiled.

11:7 For* a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled, being* that he is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of the man.

11:8 For* the man is not from the woman, but the woman is from the man;

11:9 for* neither was the man created because of the woman, but the woman because of the man.

11:10 The woman ought to have a sign of authority upon her head because of this and because of the messengers.

11:11 However, neither is the man separate from the woman, nor the woman separate from the man, in the Lord.

11:12 For* just-like the woman is from the man, so the man is also through the woman, but all things are from God.

11:13 Judge* among you* yourselves. Is it suitable that a woman pray to God unveiled?

11:14 Or is not even nature itself teaching you*, that, if a man indeed has long-hair, it is a dishonor to him?

11:15 But if a woman has long-hair, it is a glory to her, because her hair has been given to her instead of a head dressing.

11:16 But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the congregations* of God.

11:17 But in commanding this, I am not praising you*, because you* are not coming together *for the best but *for the worst.

11:18 For* indeed, first of all, when you* are coming together in the congregation*, I am hearing that splits exist in you*, and I believe some part of it.

11:19 For* it is essential for sects to be also among you*, in order that those who are the approved ones may become apparent among you*.

11:20 Therefore, while coming together in the same place, it is not possible to eat the Lord's supper;

11:21 for* while you* ate, each one is taking his own supper before others can, and one is hungry and another is drunken.

11:22 For* do you* not have houses *that* you* should eat and drink in? Or do you* despise the congregation* of God and are shaming those who have nothing? What should I say to you*? Should I praise you*? I should not praise you* in this.

{Mar 14:22-25 & Mat 26:26-29 & Luk 22:19-20, 1Co 11:23-26.}

11:23 For* I received from the Lord what I also gave to you*, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was being given up, took bread;

11:24 and having given-thanks, he broke it and said, Take*, eat*. This is my body, which is being broken on your* behalf. Practice* this in my remembrance.

11:25 Likewise* also the cup, after the supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant* in my blood. Practice* this in my remembrance whenever you* drink it.

11:26 For* whenever you* eat this bread and drink this cup, you* are proclaiming the Lord's death till the time he should come.


11:27 So-then whoever eats this bread or drinks the cup of the Lord, unworthily of the Lord, will be liable to the body and of the blood of the Lord.

11:28 But let a man test himself and so let him eat from the bread and let him drink out of the cup.

11:29 For* he who unworthily eats and drinks, is eating and drinking condemnation to himself, if he is not discerning the body of the Lord.

11:30 Because of this, many among you* are weak and sick and a considerable number are falling-asleep {i.e. are dead} .

11:31 For* if we were discerning ourselves, we would not be judged.

11:32 But being judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, in order that we should not be condemned together with the world.

11:33 So-then my brethren, after you* come together *that* you should eat, wait* for one another.

11:34 But if anyone is hungry, let him eat in his own house; in order that you* may not come together *for condemnation. Now I will be commanding accordingly the rest as I may come.
