| 11:1 |
Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
|
| 11:2 |
I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you.
|
| 11:3 |
But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.
|
| 11:4 |
Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head,
|
| 11:5 |
but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head -- it is the same as if her head were shaven.
|
| 11:6 |
For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair;but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her wear a veil.
|
| 11:7 |
For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God;but woman is the glory of man.
|
| 11:8 |
(For man was not made from woman, but woman from man.
|
| 11:9 |
Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.)
|
| 11:10 |
That is why a woman ought to have a veil on her head, because of the angels.
|
| 11:11 |
(Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman;
|
| 11:12 |
for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God.)
|
| 11:13 |
Judge for yourselves;is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
|
| 11:14 |
Does not nature itself teach you that for a man to wear long hair is degrading to him,
|
| 11:15 |
but if a woman has long hair, it is her pride? For her hair is given to her for a covering.
|
| 11:16 |
If any one is disposed to be contentious, we recognize no other practice, nor do the churches of God.
|
| 11:17 |
But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.
|
| 11:18 |
For, in the first place, when you assemble as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you;and I partly believe it,
|
| 11:19 |
for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized.
|
| 11:20 |
When you meet together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat.
|
| 11:21 |
For in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal, and one is hungry and another is drunk.
|
| 11:22 |
What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you in this? No, I will not.
|
| 11:23 |
For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread,
|
| 11:24 |
and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, 'This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.'
|
| 11:25 |
In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.'
|
| 11:26 |
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
|
| 11:27 |
Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord.
|
| 11:28 |
Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
|
| 11:29 |
For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself.
|
| 11:30 |
That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.
|
| 11:31 |
But if we judged ourselves truly, we should not be judged.
|
| 11:32 |
But when we are judged by the Lord, we are chastened so that we may not be condemned along with the world.
|
| 11:33 |
So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another --
|
| 11:34 |
if any one is hungry, let him eat at home -- lest you come together to be condemned. About the other things I will give directions when I come.
