11:1
Be my imitators, even as *I* also [am] of Christ.
11:2
Now I praise you, that in all things ye are mindful of me; and that as I have directed you, ye keep the directions.
11:3
But I wish you to know that the Christ is the head of every man, but woman's head [is] the man, and the Christ's head God.
11:4
Every man praying or prophesying, having [anything] on his head, puts his head to shame.
11:5
But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered puts her own head to shame; for it is one and the same as a shaved [woman].
11:6
For if a woman be not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if [it be] shameful to a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, let her be covered.
11:7
For man indeed ought not to have his head covered, being God's image and glory; but woman is man's glory.
11:8
For man is not of woman, but woman of man.
11:9
For also man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake of the man.
11:10
Therefore ought the woman to have authority on her head, on account of the angels.
11:11
However, neither [is] woman without man, nor man without woman, in [the] Lord.
11:12
For as the woman [is] of the man, so also [is] the man by the woman, but all things of God.
11:13
Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman should pray to God uncovered?
11:14
Does not even nature itself teach you, that man, if he have long hair, it is a dishonour to him?
11:15
But woman, if she have long hair, [it is] glory to her; for the long hair is given [to her] in lieu of a veil.
11:16
But if any one think to be contentious, *we* have no such custom, nor the assemblies of God.
11:17
But [in] prescribing [to you on] this [which I now enter on], I do not praise, [namely,] that ye come together, not for the better, but for the worse.
11:18
For first, when ye come together in assembly, I hear there exist divisions among you, and I partly give credit [to it].
11:19
For there must also be sects among you, that the approved may become manifest among you.
11:20
When ye come therefore together into one place, it is not to eat [the] Lord's supper.
11:21
For each one in eating takes his *own* supper before [others], and one is hungry and another drinks to excess.
11:22
Have ye not then houses for eating and drinking? or do ye despise the assembly of God, and put to shame them who have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this [point] I do not praise.
11:23
For *I* received from the Lord, that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread,
11:24
and having given thanks broke [it], and said, This is my body, which [is] for you: this do in remembrance of me.
11:25
In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye shall drink [it], in remembrance of me.
11:26
For as often as ye shall eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye announce the death of the Lord, until he come.
11:27
So that whosoever shall eat the bread, or drink the cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty in respect of the body and of the blood of the Lord.
11:28
But let a man prove himself, and thus eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.
11:29
For [the] eater and drinker eats and drinks judgment to himself, not distinguishing the body.
11:30
On this account many among you [are] weak and infirm, and a good many are fallen asleep.
11:31
But if we judged ourselves, so were we not judged.
11:32
But being judged, we are disciplined of [the] Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
11:33
So that, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait for one another.
11:34
If any one be hungry, let him eat at home, that ye may not come together for judgment. But the other things, whenever I come, I will set in order.
