1 Corinthians 11

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

Be ye imitators of me, as I am of the Messiah.

2 But I praise you because you remember me in all things, and hold fast the commandments, as I delivered them unto you.

Moreover I commend you, my Brethren, that in all things ye are mindful of me, and that ye hold fast the precepts as I delivered them to you.

3 But I wish you to know, that Christ is the head of every man; and the man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of Christ.

And I would have you know, that the head of every man is the Messiah, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of the Messiah is God.

4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.

Every man, who prayeth or prophesieth with his head covered, dishonoreth his head.

5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonors her head: for that is one and the same to her being shaven.

And every woman, who prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered, dishonoreth her head; for she is on a level with her whose head is shaven.

6 If a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it is a disgrace for a woman to be shorn or shaven; let her be covered.

For if a woman be not covered, let her also be shorn; but if it be shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

7 For a man ought not to cover his head, being the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man.

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

8 For the man is not from the woman; but the woman is from the man;

For the man was not from the woman, but the woman from the man.

9 for man indeed was not created on account of the woman; but the woman on account of the man.

Neither was the man created for the woman's sake, but the woman for the man's sake.

10 Therefore the woman ought to have authority on her head, on account of the angels.

For this cause ought the woman to have on her head the mark of authority, because of the angels.

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

Nevertheless, the man is not without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in our Lord.

12 For as the woman is from the man, so the man also is by the woman; and all things from God.

For as the woman was from the man, so the man is by the woman; and every thing is from God.

13 Judge ye among yourselves: is it becoming for a woman to pray to God uncovered?

Judge for yourselves, among yourselves; is it becoming, that a woman pray to God with her head uncovered?

14 Does not nature itself teach you, that, if a man may indeed have long hair, it is a dishonor to him?

Doth not nature teach you, that in a man, if his hair groweth long, it is a reproach to him?

15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory unto her: because the hair has been given to her for a covering.

But for a woman, if her hair is abundant, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering.

16 If any one seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.

But if any one is contentious about these things, we on our part have no such custom, nor hath the church of God.

17 And proclaiming this, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

This which I now enjoin, is not as praising you; for ye have not made progress, but have deteriorated.

18 For in the first place, indeed you coming together, I hear that there are schisms among you; and I in part believe it.

Because, first; when ye assemble in the church, there are, I hear, divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

19 For it behooves that heresies should indeed be among you, in order that the approved may be made manifest among you.

For there are to be contentions among you, that the approved among you may be known.

20 Therefore you coming together, it is not to eat the Lord's supper:

When therefore ye come together, ye eat and drink, not as is becoming on the day of our Lord.

21 for each one takes his own supper in eating; and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

But, one and another proceedeth to eat his own supper; and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

22 For have you not houses in which to eat and to drink? or do you cast contempt on the church of God, and shame those not having? What do I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.

What! have ye no houses in which ye can eat and drink? Or, despise ye the church of God, and shame them who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I praise you not.

23 For I received this from the Lord, which I have also delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the night in which he was betrayed, took bread,

For I have received from our Lord, that which I imparted to you; that our Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,

24 and having given thanks, broke it, and said; This is my body, which is for you: do this in remembrance of me.

and blessed, and brake it, and said: " Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for your sakes: thus do ye, in remembrance of me."

25 Likewise also the cup, after supper, saying; This cup is the new covenant in my blood: do this, as often as you may drink it, in remembrance of me.

So, after they had supped, he gave also the cup, and said: " This cup is the new testament in my blood: thus do ye, as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me."

26 For as often as you may eat this bread, and drink the cup, you do proclaim the death of the Lord, until he may come.

For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye commemorate the death of our Lord, until his advent.

27 So whosoever may eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

He therefore, who eateth of the bread of the Lord, and drinketh of his cup, and is not worthy of it, is guilty of the blood of the Lord, and of his body.

28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup;

For this reason, a man should examine himself, and then eat of this bread, and drink of this cup:

29 for the one eating and drinking, net discerning the body, eats and drinks condemnation to himself.

for, whoever eateth and drinketh of it, while he is unworthy, eateth and drinketh condemnation on himself, by not discerning the body of the Lord.

30 Therefore many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.

For this cause, many among you are diseased and sickly, and many sleep.

31 But if we judged ourselves, we would not be judged:

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

32 But being judged, by the Lord we are chastised, in order that we may not be condemned along with the world.

But when we are judged by our Lord, we are really chastised, that we may not be condemned with the world.

33 So, my brethren, coming together to eat, wait for one another.

Wherefore, my Brethren, when ye assemble to eat, wait ye one for another.

34 If one is hungry let him eat at home; in order that you may not come together unto condemnation. But I will set in order the remaining things when I may come.

And let him who is hungry, eat at home; that ye may assemble, not for condemnation. And as to other things, I will give you directions when I come.
