# 1 Corinthians 11 [[1 Corinthians 10|←]] • [[1 Corinthians 12|→]] --- ### 1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also of Christ. ### 2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered to you. ### 3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman the man; and the head of Christ God. ### 4 Every man praying or prophesying, having head covered, dishonoureth his head. ### 5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. ### 6 For if the woman not be covered, also let her be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. ### 7 For a man indeed ought not to cover head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. ### 8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. ### 9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. ### 10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on head because of the angels. ### 11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. ### 12 For as the woman of the man, even so the man also by the woman; but all things of God. ### 13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? ### 14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it unto is a shame him? ### 15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for hair is given her for a covering. ### 16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God. ### 17 Now in this that I declare I praise not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse. ### 18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and partly I it. believe ### 19 For must there be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. ### 20 When come ye together therefore into one place, is not to eat the Lord's supper. ### 21 For in eating every one taketh before his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken. ### 22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise not. ### 23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the night in which he was betrayed took bread: ### 24 And when he had given thanks, he brake and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. ### 25 After the same manner also the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink in remembrance of me. ### 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. ### 27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink cup the of Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood the of Lord. ### 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of bread, and drink of cup. ### 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. ### 30 For this cause many weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. ### 31 For if we would judge ourselves, not we should be judged. ### 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that not we should be condemned with the world. ### 33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. ### 34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come together not unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
