11:1 |
Followers of me become ye, as I also [am] of Christ.
|
11:2 |
And I praise you, brethren, that in all things ye remember me, and according as I did deliver to you, the deliverances ye keep,
|
11:3 |
and I wish you to know that of every man the head is the Christ, and the head of a woman is the husband, and the head of Christ is God.
|
11:4 |
Every man praying or prophesying, having the head covered, doth dishonour his head,
|
11:5 |
and every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered, doth dishonour her own head, for it is one and the same thing with her being shaven,
|
11:6 |
for if a woman is not covered -- then let her be shorn, and if [it is] a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven -- let her be covered;
|
11:7 |
for a man, indeed, ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God, and a woman is the glory of a man,
|
11:8 |
for a man is not of a woman, but a woman [is] of a man,
|
11:9 |
for a man also was not created because of the woman, but a woman because of the man;
|
11:10 |
because of this the woman ought to have [a token of] authority upon the head, because of the messengers;
|
11:11 |
but neither [is] a man apart from a woman, nor a woman apart from a man, in the Lord,
|
11:12 |
for as the woman [is] of the man, so also the man [is] through the woman, and the all things [are] of God.
|
11:13 |
In your own selves judge ye; is it seemly for a woman uncovered to pray to God?
|
11:14 |
doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man indeed have long hair, a dishonour it is to him?
|
11:15 |
and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her;
|
11:16 |
and if any one doth think to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the assemblies of God.
|
11:17 |
And this declaring, I give no praise, because not for the better, but for the worse ye come together;
|
11:18 |
for first, indeed, ye coming together in an assembly, I hear of divisions being among you, and partly I believe [it],
|
11:19 |
for it behoveth sects also to be among you, that those approved may become manifest among you;
|
11:20 |
ye, then, coming together at the same place -- it is not to eat the Lord's supper;
|
11:21 |
for each his own supper doth take before in the eating, and one is hungry, and another is drunk;
|
11:22 |
why, have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or the assembly of God do ye despise, and shame those not having? what may I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I do not praise!
|
11:23 |
For I -- I received from the Lord that which also I did deliver to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread,
|
11:24 |
and having given thanks, he brake, and said, `Take ye, eat ye, this is my body, that for you is being broken; this do ye -- to the remembrance of me.'
|
11:25 |
In like manner also the cup after the supping, saying, `This cup is the new covenant in my blood; this do ye, as often as ye may drink [it] -- to the remembrance of me;'
|
11:26 |
for as often as ye may eat this bread, and this cup may drink, the death of the Lord ye do shew forth -- till he may come;
|
11:27 |
so that whoever may eat this bread or may drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, guilty he shall be of the body and blood of the Lord:
|
11:28 |
and let a man be proving himself, and so of the bread let him eat, and of the cup let him drink;
|
11:29 |
for he who is eating and drinking unworthily, judgment to himself he doth eat and drink -- not discerning the body of the Lord.
|
11:30 |
Because of this, among you many [are] weak and sickly, and sleep do many;
|
11:31 |
for if ourselves we were discerning, we would not be being judged,
|
11:32 |
and being judged by the Lord, we are chastened, that with the world we may not be condemned;
|
11:33 |
so then, my brethren, coming together to eat, for one another wait ye;
|
11:34 |
and if any one is hungry, at home let him eat, that to judgment ye may not come together; and the rest, whenever I may come, I shall arrange.
