1 Corinthians 11

1 I commende you

Be ye my foleweris, as Y am of Crist.

2 brethren that ye remeber me in all thinges and kepe the ordinaunces even as I delyvered them to you.

And, britheren, Y preise you, that bi alle thingis ye ben myndeful of me; and as Y bitook to you my comaundementis, ye holden.

3 I wolde ye knew that Christ is the heed of every man. And the man is the womans heed. And God is Christes heed.

But Y wole that ye wite, that Crist is heed of ech man; but the heed of the womman is the man; and the heed of Crist is God.

4 Eevery ma prayinge or prophesyinge havynge eny thynge on his heed shameth his heed.

Ech man preiynge, or profeciynge, whanne his heed is hilid, defoulith his heed.

5 Every woman that prayeth or prophisieth bare hedded dishonesteth hyr heed. For it is even all one and the very same thinge even as though she were shaven.

But ech womman preiynge, or profeciynge, whanne hir heed is not hilid, defoulith hir heed; for it is oon, as if sche were pollid.

6 If the woman be not covered lett her also be shoren. If it be shame for a woma to be shorne or shave let her cover her heed.

And if a womman be not keuered, be sche pollid; and if it is foul thing to a womman to be pollid, or to be maad ballid, hile sche hir heed.

7 A man ought not to cover his heed for as moche as he is the image and glory of God. The woman is the glory of the man.

But a man schal not hile his heed, for he is the ymage and the glorie of God; but a womman is the glorie of man.

8 For the man is not of the woman but the woman of the ma.

For a man is not of the womman, but the womman of the man.

9 Nether was the man created for ye womas sake: but the woma for the mannes sake

And the man is not maad for the womman, but the womman for the man.

10 For this cause ought the woma to have power on her heed for the angels sakes.

Therfor the womman schal haue an hilyng on hir heed, also for aungelis.

11 Neverthelesse nether is the ma with oute the woma nether the woma with out the man in the lorde.

Netheles nether the man is with outen womman, nether the womman is with oute man, in the Lord.

12 For as the woman is of the man eve so is the man by the woman: but all is of God.

Forwhi as the womman is of man, so the man is bi the womman; but alle thingis ben of God.

13 Iudge in youre selves whether it be coly yt a woman praye vnto god bare heeded.

Deme ye you silf; bisemeth it a womman not hilid on the heed to preye God?

14 Or els doth not nature teach you that it is a shame for a man

Nether the kynde it silf techith vs, for if a man nursche longe heer, it is schenschipe to hym;

15 if he have longe heere: and a prayse to a woman yf she have longe heere? For her heere is geven her to cover her with all.

but if a womman nurische longe heer, it is glorie to hir, for heeris ben youun to hir for keueryng.

16 If there be eny man amonge you yt lusteth to stryve let him knowe that we have no soche custome nether the congregacions of God.

But if ony man is seyn to be ful of strijf, we han noon siche custom, nethir the chirche of God.

17 This I warne you of and commende not that ye come to gedder: not after a better maner but after a worsse.

But this thing Y comaunde, not preisynge, that ye comen togidere not in to the betere, but in to the worse.

18 Fyrst of all when ye come togedder in the cogregacion I heare that ther is dissencion amonge you: and I partly beleve it.

First for whanne ye comen togidere in to the chirche, Y here that discenciouns ben, and in parti Y bileue.

19 For ther must be sectes amonge you that they which are perfecte amonge you myght be knowen.

For it bihoueth eresies to be, that thei that ben prouyd, ben opynli knowun in you.

20 When ye come to gedder a man cannot eate the lordes supper. For every man begynneth a fore to eate his awne supper.

Therfor whanne ye comen togidere in to oon, now it is not to ete the Lordis soper;

21 And one is hongrye and another is dronken. Have ye not houses to eate and to drinke in?

for whi ech man bifor takith his soper to ete, and oon is hungry, and another is drunkun.

22 Or els despyse ye the congregacion of god and shame them that have not? What shall I saye vnto you? shall I prayse you: In this prayse I you not.

Whether ye han not housis to ete and drynke, or ye dispisen the chirche of God, and confounden hem that han noon? What schal Y seie to you? Y preise you, but here yn Y preise you not.

23 That which I delyvered vnto you I receaved of ye lorde. For ye lorde Iesus the same nyght in which he was betrayed toke breed:

For Y haue takun of the Lord that thing, which Y haue bitakun to you. For the Lord Jhesu, in what niyt he was bitraied,

24 and thanked and brake and sayde. Take ye and eate ye: this is my body which is broken for you. This do ye in the remembraunce of me.

took breed, and dide thankyngis, and brak, and seide, Take ye, and ete ye; this is my bodi, which schal be bitraied for you; do ye this thing in to my mynde.

25 After the same maner he toke the cup when sopper was done sayinge. This cup is the newe testament in my bloude. This do as oft as ye drynke it in the remebraunce of me.

Also the cuppe, aftir that he hadde soupid, and seide, This cuppe is the newe testament in my blood; do ye this thing, as ofte as ye schulen drynke, in to my mynde.

26 For as often as ye shall eate this breed and drynke this cup ye shall shewe the lordes deeth tyll he come.

For as ofte as ye schulen ete this breed, and schulen drynke the cuppe, ye schulen telle the deth of the Lord, til that he come.

27 Wherfore whosoevere shall eate of this bred or drynke of the cup vnworthely shalbe giltie of the body and bloud of the Lorde

Therfor who euere etith the breed, or drynkith the cuppe of the Lord vnworthili, he schal be gilti of the bodi and of the blood of the Lord.

28 Let a ma therfore examen him silfe and so let hi eate of the breed and drynke of the cup.

But preue a man hym silf, and so ete he of `the ilke breed, and drynke of the cuppe.

29 For he yt eateth or drinketh vnworthely eateth and drynketh his awne damnacion because he maketh no difference of the lordis body.

For he that etith and drinkith vnworthili, etith and drinkith doom to hym, not wiseli demyng the bodi of the Lord.

30 For this cause many are weake and sicke amoge you and many slepe.

Therfor among you many ben sijke and feble, and manye slepen.

31 Yf we had truly iudged oure selves we shuld not have bene iudged.

And if we demyden wiseli vs silf, we schulden not be demyd;

32 But when we are iudged of the lorde we are chastened because we shuld not be daned with the worlde.

but while we ben demyd of the Lord, we ben chastisid, that we be not dampnyd with this world.

33 Wherfore my brethren when ye come to gedder to eate tary one for another.

Therfor, my britheren, whanne ye comen togidere to ete, abide ye togidere.

34 Yf eny ma hoger let hi eate at home yt ye come not togedder vnto condenacio. Other thinges will I set in order whe I come.

If ony man hungrith, ete he at home, that ye come not togidere in to doom. And Y schal dispose othere thingis, whanne Y come.
