Sha'ul�s First Letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 11
{11:1} Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Messiah. {11:2} Now
I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and hold
firm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you. {11:3} But I
would have you know, that the head of every man is Messiah, and the
head of the woman is the man, and the head of Messiah is God. {11:4}
Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors
his head. {11:5} But every woman praying or prophesying with her head
unveiled dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if
she were shaved. {11:6} For if a woman is not covered, let her also be
shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let
her be covered. {11:7} For a man indeed ought not to have his head
covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is
the glory of the man. {11:8} For man is not from woman, but woman from
man; {11:9} for neither was man created for the woman, but woman for
the man. {11:10} For this cause the woman ought to have authority on
her head, because of the angels. {11:11} Nevertheless, neither is the
woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in
the Lord. {11:12} For as the woman is from the man, so is the man also
by the woman; but all things are from God. {11:13} Judge for
yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?
{11:14} Doesn't even nature itself teach you that if a man has long
hair, it is a dishonor to him? {11:15} But if a woman has long hair,
it is a glory to her, for her hair is given to her for a covering.
{11:16} But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such
custom, neither do God's assemblies.
{11:17} But in giving you this command, I don't praise you, that you
come together not for the better but for the worse. {11:18} For first
of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions
exist among you, and I partly believe it. {11:19} For there must be
also factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed
among you. {11:20} When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it
is not possible to eat the Lord's supper. {11:21} For in your eating
each one takes his own supper before others. One is hungry, and
another is drunken. {11:22} What, don't you have houses to eat and to
drink in? Or do you despise God's assembly, and put them to shame who
don't have? What will I tell you? Will I praise you? In this I don't
praise you.
{11:23} For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to
you, that the Lord Yeshua on the night in which he was betrayed took
bread. {11:24} When he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "Take,
eat. This is my body, which is broken for you. Do this in memory of
me." {11:25} In the same way he also took the cup, after supper,
saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often
as you drink, in memory of me." {11:26} For as often as you eat this
bread, and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he
comes. {11:27} Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord's
cup in an unworthy manner, will be guilty of the body and the blood of
the Lord. {11:28} But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of
the bread, and drink of the cup. {11:29} For he who eats and drinks in
an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he doesn't
discern the Lord's body. {11:30} For this cause many among you are
weak and sickly, and not a few sleep. {11:31} For if we discerned
ourselves, we wouldn't be judged. {11:32} But when we are judged, we
are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
{11:33} Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait
one for another. {11:34} But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home,
that your coming together may not be to judgment. The rest I will set
in order whenever I come.
