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