11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also [am] of Christ. 11:2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered [them] to you. 11:3 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. 11:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having [his] head covered, dishonoreth his head. 11:5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with [her] 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 [his] 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 [her] 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 [is] from the man, even so [is] 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 [her] 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 [to you], I praise [you] 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, [this] is not to eat the Lord's supper. 11:21 For in eating every one taketh before [another] 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 [you] not. 11:23 For I have received from the Lord, that which also I delivered to you, That the Lord Jesus, the [same] night in which he was betrayed, took bread: 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he broke [it], 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 [he took] the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as often as ye drink [it], 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 [this] 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 [that] bread, and drink of [that] 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 [are] 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.
