1 Corinthians 11

1 Be ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ.

Be ye followers of me, even as I also [am] of Christ.

2 Now I praise you, brethren, that in all things you are mindful of me: and keep my ordinances as I have delivered them to you.

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.

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 with his head covered, disgraceth his head.

Every man praying or prophesying, having [his] head covered, dishonoureth his head.

5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered, disgraceth her head: for it is all one as if she were shaven.

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 a woman be not covered, let her be shorn. But if it be a shame to a woman to be shorn or made bald, let her cover her head.

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 The man indeed ought not to cover his head, because he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man.

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.

For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.

9 For the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man.

Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

10 Therefore ought the woman to have a power over her head, because of the angels.

For this cause ought the woman to have power on [her] head because of the angels.

11 But yet neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in the Lord.

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, so also is the man by the woman: but all things of God.

For as the woman [is] of the man, even so [is] the man also by the woman; but all things of God.

13 You yourselves judge: doth it become a woman, to pray unto God uncovered?

Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?

14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that a man indeed, if he nourish his hair, it is a shame unto him?

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 nourish her hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering.

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, nor the church of God.

But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

17 Now this I ordain: not praising you, that you come together not for the better, but for the worse.

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 I hear that when you come together in the church, there are schisms among you; and in part I believe it.

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: that they also, who are approved, may be made manifest among you.

For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

20 When you come therefore together into one place, it is not now to eat the Lord’s supper.

When ye come together therefore into one place, [this] is not to eat the Lord’s supper.

21 For every one taketh before his own supper to eat. And one indeed is hungry and another is drunk.

For in eating every one taketh before [other] his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

22 What, have you not houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God; and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? Do I praise you? In this I praise you not.

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.

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 giving thanks, broke, and said: Take ye, and eat: this is my body, which shall be delivered for you: this do for the commemoration of me.

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 In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me.

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 you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come.

For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.

27 Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.

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 prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of the chalice.

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 judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.

For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.

30 Therefore are there many infirm and weak among you, and many sleep.

For this cause many [are] weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

31 But if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

32 But whilst we are judged, we are chastised by the Lord, that we be not condemned with this world.

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 you come together to eat, wait for one another.

Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.

34 If any man be hungry, let him eat at home; that you come not together unto judgment. And the rest I will set in order, when I come.

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.
