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. |
