< 1 Corinthians 11 >
1 Imitators of me do be even as I myself also [am] I myself also [am] of Christ.
So take me for your example, even as I take Christ for mine.
2 I commend now you (brothers *k*) that in all things me you have remembered, and even as I delivered to you the teachings you are keeping.
Now I am pleased to see that you keep me in memory in all things, and that you give attention to the teaching which was handed down from me to you.
3 I want however you to know that of every man the head Christ is, [the] head now of [the] woman [is] the man; [the] head now (*no*) of Christ God.
But it is important for you to keep this fact in mind, 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 [anything] on [his] head having he dishonors the head of him.
Every man who takes part in prayer, or gives teaching as a prophet, with his head covered, puts shame on his head.
5 Every now woman praying or prophesying uncovered with the head dishonors the head (of her; *N(k)O*) one for it is and the same with which shaven.
But every woman who does so with her head unveiled, puts shame on her head: for it is the same as if her hair was cut off.
6 If for not covers her head a woman, also she should be shorn; If [it is] now disgraceful to a woman to be shorn or to be shaven, she should cover her head.
For if a woman is not veiled, let her hair be cut off; but if it is a shame to a woman to have her hair cut off, let her be veiled.
7 A man indeed for not ought to cover the head image and glory of God being; (the *no*) woman however [the] glory of man is;
For it is not right for a man to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
8 Not for is man of woman but woman of man;
For the man did not come from the woman, but the woman from the man.
9 Truly for not was created man on account of the woman but woman on account of the man;
And the man was not made for the woman, but the woman for the man.
10 Because of this ought the woman authority to have on the head on account of the angels.
For this reason it is right for the woman to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.
11 However neither [is] woman without man nor man without woman in [the] Lord;
But the woman is not separate from the man, and the man is not separate from the woman in the Lord.
12 Just as for the woman of the man [is] so also the man through the woman [is], the however all things of God.
For as the woman is from the man, so the man is through the woman; but all things are from God.
13 In you yourselves do judge: Becoming is it for a woman revealed to God to pray?
Be judges yourselves of the question: does it seem right for a woman to take part in prayer unveiled?
14 (or *K*) Not even nature itself does teach you that a man indeed if he shall have long hair, a dishonor to him it is,
Does it not seem natural to you that if a man has long hair, it is a cause of shame to him?
15 a woman however if she shall have long hair, glory to her it is? For the long hair instead of a covering has been given to her;
But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given to her for a covering.
16 If now anyone is inclined contentious to be, we ourselves such custom no [other] have nor the churches of God.
But if any man will not be ruled in this question, this is not our way of doing things, and it is not done in the churches of God.
17 In this now (instructing *NK(o)*) not I do praise because not for the better but for the (worse *N(k)O*) you come together.
But in giving you this order, there is one thing about which I am not pleased: it is that when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.
18 First indeed for coming together you in (*k*) an assembly I hear divisions among you there to be, and in part it I believe;
For first of all, it has come to my ears that when you come together in the church, there are divisions among you, and I take the statement to be true in part.
19 It behooves for also factions among you there to be, so that (also *no*) the approved evident may become among you.
For divisions are necessary among you, in order that those who have God's approval may be clearly seen among you.
20 Coming therefore of you together in one place not it is [the] Lord’s supper to eat;
But now, when you come together, it is not possible to take the holy meal of the Lord:
21 One for [their] own supper takes first in eating, and this [one] indeed is hungry, that [one] however is drunken.
For when you take your food, everyone takes his meal before the other; and one has not enough food, and another is the worse for drink.
22 Surely not indeed houses surely you have in which to eat and to drink? Or the church of God do you despise and put to shame those nothing having? What shall I say to you shall I praise you in this? Not I praise [you]!
What? have you not houses to take your meals in? or have you no respect for the church of God, putting the poor to shame? What am I to say to you? am I to give you praise? certainly not.
23 I myself for received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread,
For it was handed down to me from the Lord, as I gave it to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night when Judas was false to him, took bread,
24 and having given thanks He broke [it] and said (do take *KO*) (do eat: *K*) This of Me is the body which [is] for you (being broken; *K*) this do perform in of Me remembrance.
And when it had been broken with an act of praise, he said, This is my body which is for you: do this in memory of me.
25 Likewise also the cup after having supped saying; This cup the new covenant is in My blood; this do perform, as often as (when *N(k)O*) you shall drink [it], in of Me remembrance.
In the same way, with the cup, after the meal, he said, This cup is the new testament in my blood: do this, whenever you take it, in memory of me.
26 As often as for (when *N(k)O*) you shall eat bread this and cup (this *K*) may drink, the death of the Lord you proclaim until that (when *k*) He may come.
For whenever you take the bread and the cup you give witness to the Lord's death till he comes.
27 Therefore who[ever] maybe may eat bread (this *K*) or may drink the cup of the Lord unworthily (of the-Lord *O*) guilty will be of the body and of the blood of the Lord.
If, then, anyone takes the bread or the cup of the Lord in the wrong spirit, he will be responsible for the body and blood of the Lord.
28 should examine however a man himself, and in this manner of the bread he should eat and of the cup he should drink;
But let no man take of the bread and the cup without testing himself.
29 The [one] for eating and drinking (unworthily *K*) judgment on himself he eats and he drinks not discerning the body (of the *k*) (Lord. *K*)
For a man puts himself in danger, if he takes part in the holy meal without being conscious that it is the Lord's body.
30 Because of this among you many [are] weak and sick, and are fallen asleep many.
For this cause a number of you are feeble and ill, and a number are dead.
31 If (for *N(k)O*) ourselves we were judging, not then would we were come under judgment;
But if we were true judges of ourselves, punishment would not come on us.
32 Being judged however by (the *no*) Lord we are disciplined, so that not with the world we may be condemned.
But if punishment does come, it is sent by the Lord, so that we may be safe when the world is judged.
33 So then, brothers of mine, coming together in order to eat one another do wait for;
So then, my brothers, when you come together to the holy meal of the Lord, let there be waiting for one another.
34 If (now *k*) anyone is hungry, at home he should eat, so that not for judgment you may come together. And the other things as soon as when I may come I will set in order.
If any man is in need of food, let him take his meal in his house; so that you may not come together to your damage. And the rest I will put in order when I come.
