1 Corinthians 11

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

Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Meshikha.

2 Now I commend you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.

Now I praise you, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.

3 But I would have you know that Christ is the head of every man; 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 Meshikha, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Meshikha is God.

4 Every man praying or prophesying, having a veil on his head, dishonoureth Him who is his head.

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

5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonoureth man her head; for it is even all one as if she were shaved.

But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.

6 For if a woman be not covered, she may as well be shorn: but if it be shameful to a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.

For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.

7 For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, he being the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.

8 For the man was not of the woman; but the woman was taken out of the man:

For man is not from woman, but woman from man;

9 nor was the man created for the sake of the woman, but the woman for the man.

for neither was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.

10 For this reason ought the woman to have power on her head, because of the angels.

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

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

Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord.

12 For as the woman was originally from the man, so also is the man by the woman: but all things are from God.

For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.

13 Judge in yourselves, Is it decent for a woman to pray to God uncovered?

Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?

14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man have long hair, it is a disgrace to him?

Doesn't even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?

15 but if a woman have long hair it is a glory to her; because the hair was given her as for a veil.

But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given to her for a covering.

16 But if any one is pleased to contend for the contrary, I answer, We have no such custom, nor any of the churches of God.

But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God's congregations.

17 But whilst I am declaring this, I do not commend you, that ye assemble together not for the better, but for the worse.

But in giving you this command, I do not praise you, that you come together not for the better but for the worse.

18 For first when ye come together in the church, I hear there are divisions among you, and I partly believe it.

For first of all, when you come together in the church, I hear that divisions exist among you, and I partly believe it.

19 For there must be even heresies among you, that they who are approved may be made manifest among you.

For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.

20 When therefore ye thus assemble together, this is not eating the Lord's supper:

When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat.

21 for in eating every one takes his own supper first; and one is hungry, and another is glutted.

For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunk.

22 What! have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or do ye despise the church of God, and shame those that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

What, do you not have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise God's church, and put them to shame who do not have? What shall I tell you? Shall I praise you? In this I do not praise you.

23 For I received from the Lord, that which I also delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed took bread:

For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Yeshua on the night in which he was betrayed took bread.

24 and gave thanks, and brake it, and said, "Take and eat; this is my body, which is going to be broken for you: this do in remembrance of me."

When he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body, which is for you. Do this in memory of me."

25 And in the same manner He took the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant ratified in my blood: this do, as often as ye drink of it, in remembrance of me."

In the same way he also took the cup, after the meal, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink, in memory of me."

26 As often then as ye eat of this bread, and drink of this cup, ye commemorate the Lord's death till he come.

For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

27 So that whosoever eateth this bread, or drinketh of the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord.

Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord's cup in a manner unworthy will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

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

But let a person examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

29 for he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgement against himself, not distinguishing the Lord's body.

For he who eats and drinks eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he does not discern the body.

30 For this many among you are weak and infirm, and several are fallen asleep.

For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.

31 If then we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged:

For if we discerned ourselves, we would not be judged.

32 but when judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

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

33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait for one another:

Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait one for another.

34 and if any one be hungry, let him eat at home, that ye may not come together to your condemnation. And as to other things, I will set them in order when I come.

But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.
