Chapter 11 |
| 1 | Be ye
followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. |
| 2 | Now I praise
you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I
delivered them to you. |
| 3 | But I would have you know, that the head of
every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of
Christ is God. |
|
4 | Every man praying or prophesying, having his head
covered, dishonoureth his head. |
| 5 | But every woman that prayeth or
prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all
one as if she were shaven. |
|
6 | For if the woman be not covered, let
her also 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 his 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 her 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 is of the man, even so is 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 is a shame unto him? |
|
15 | But if a woman have long
hair, it is a glory to her: for her 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 unto you I praise
you 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 I partly believe it. |
| 19 | For there
must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made
manifest among you. |
| 20 | When ye come together therefore into one
place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper. |
|
21 | For in eating every one
taketh before other 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 you not. |
| 23 | For I have
received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus
the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: |
| 24 | And when he
had given thanks, he brake it, 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 he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the
new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, 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 this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the
body and blood of the Lord. |
|
28 | But let a man examine himself, and so
let him eat of that bread, and drink of that 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 are weak and
sickly among you, and many sleep. |
| 31 | For if we would judge
ourselves, we should not be judged. |
| 32 | But when we are judged, we
are chastened of the Lord, that we should not 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 not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order
when I come. |
