1 Corinthians 11

1 Be imitators of me, as I am of the Meshiha.

Be my imitators, even as I also [am] of Christ.

2 But I commend you, my brethren, that in every thing you remember me; and that as I have delivered to you precepts, you hold them.

Now I praise you, that in all things ye are mindful of me; and that as I have directed you, ye keep the directions.

3 But I would that you know that the Meshiha is the head of every man; and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of the Meshiha is Aloha.

But I wish you to know that the Christ is the head of every man, but woman's head [is] the man, and the Christ's head God.

4 Every man who prayeth or prophesieth having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.

Every man praying or prophesying, having [anything] on his head, puts his head to shame.

5 And every woman who prayeth or prophesieth having her head uncovered, dishonoureth her head, for she is similar to one whose head is shaven.

But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered puts her own head to shame; for it is one and the same as a shaved [woman].

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

For if a woman be not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if [it be] shameful to a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, let her be covered.

7 For a man is not obligated to cover his head, because he is the likeness and the glory of Aloha; but woman is the glory of man.

For man indeed ought not to have his head covered, being God's image and glory; but woman is man's glory.

8 For the man is not from woman, but the woman is from man.

For man is not of woman, but woman of man.

9 Neither was the man created for the sake of woman, but woman for the sake of man.

For also man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake of the man.

10 Because of this the woman is a debtor, that the power shall be upon her head, on account of the angels.

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

11 Nevertheless man is not without woman, neither is woman without man, in our Lord.

However, neither [is] woman without man, nor man without woman, in [the] Lord.

12 For as a woman is from man, so is man by woman; but every thing is from Aloha.

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

13 Judge among yourselves, Is it comely for a woman with her head revealed to pray to Aloha?

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

14 Does not nature itself teach you, that when a man's hair standeth, it is a disgrace to him?

Does not even nature itself teach you, that man, if he have long hair, it is a dishonour to him?

15 But when a woman increaseth her hair, it is a glory to her; because her hair for a covering was given to her.

But woman, if she have long hair, [it is] glory to her; for the long hair is given [to her] in lieu of a veil.

16 But if any man contendeth about these things, we have no such usage as this, neither the church of Aloha.

But if any one think to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the assemblies of God.

17 But this I prescribe not as praising you, because you go not forward, but to the less you descend.

But [in] prescribing [to you on] this [which I now enter on], I do not praise, [namely, ] that ye come together, not for the better, but for the worse.

18 For, first, when you are assembled in the church, there are divisions, (as) I hear, among you, and in some measure I believe.

For first, when ye come together in assembly, I hear there exist divisions among you, and I partly give credit [to it].

19 For it is to be that contentions be among you, that they who are approved with you may be known.

For there must also be sects among you, that the approved may become manifest among you.

20 When then you are assembled, not as befitteth the day of the Lord you eat and drink,

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

21 but each man his own supper before eateth, and one is hungry, and one drunken.

For each one in eating takes his own supper before [others], and one is hungry and another drinks to excess.

22 What? have you not houses (in) which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of Aloha, and shame those who have nothing to eat? What do I say to you? Do I praise you in this? I praise you not.

Have ye not then houses for eating and drinking? or do ye despise the assembly of God, and put to shame them who have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this [point] I do not praise.

23 FOR I received from our Lord that which I have delivered unto you: that our Lord Jeshu in that night when he was betrayed took bread;

For I received from the Lord, that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread,

24 and he blessed and brake, and said, Take, eat, this (is) my body which for you is broken: so do to my remembrance.

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

25 Likewise after they had supped he gave also the cup, and said, This cup is the new covenant in my blood; so do, whensoever you shall drink (it) to my remembrance.

In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye shall drink [it], in remembrance of me.

26 For whensoever you eat this bread, and drink this cup, the death of our Lord you commemorate until his advent.

For as often as ye shall eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye announce the death of the Lord, until he come.

27 Whoever then 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.

So that whosoever shall eat the bread, or drink the cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty in respect of the body and of the blood of the Lord.

28 On this account a man should prove himself, and then eat of this bread, and drink of this cup.

But let a man prove himself, and thus eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

29 For whoever eateth and drinketh of it while not worthy, condemnation to himself he eateth and drinketh, because he hath not distinguished the body of the Lord.

For [the] eater and drinker eats and drinks judgment to himself, not distinguishing the body.

30 On this account many among you are sick and infirm, and many who sleep.

On this account many among you [are] weak and infirm, and a good many are fallen asleep.

31 For if we judge ourselves, we shall not be judged.

But if we judged ourselves, so were we not judged.

32 But when we are judged of our Lord, we are chastised, that not with the world we might be condemned.

But being judged, we are disciplined of [the] Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

33 Wherefore, my brethren, when you assemble to eat, wait for one another.

So that, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait for one another.

34 But whoever hungereth, in his (own) house let him feed; that you may not assemble unto condemnation. Concerning the rest, when I come I will direct you.

If any one be hungry, let him eat at home, that ye may not come together for judgment. But the other things, whenever I come, I will set in order.
