1 Corinthians 11

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

Be ye followers of me, even as I also [am] of Christ.

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, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, 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 Christ; and the head of the woman [is] the man; and the head of Christ [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, dishonoreth 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 that prayeth or prophesieth with [her] head uncovered, dishonoreth her head: for that is even all one 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 the woman is not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame 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 cover [his] head, forasmuch as 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 the man is not from the woman, but the woman from the man.

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

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

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

For this cause ought the woman to have power 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 man without the woman, neither the woman without the man 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 the woman [is] from the man, even so [is] the man also by the woman; but all things from God.

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

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

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

Doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man hath long hair, it is a shame 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 hath long hair, it is a glory to her: for [her] hair is given 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 any man seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

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

Now in this that I declare [to you], I praise [you] not, that ye 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 ye come together in the church, I hear that there are divisions 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 must be also heresies among you, that they who are approved may be made manifest among you.

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

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

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

For in eating every one taketh before [another] his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

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? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise [you] not.

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 have received from the Lord, that which also I delivered to you, That the Lord Jesus, the [same] 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."

And when he had given thanks, he broke [it], and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance 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."

After the same manner also [he took] the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as often as ye drink [it], in remembrance 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 ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he shall come.

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.

Wherefore, whoever shall eat this bread, and drink [this] cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and 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 man examine himself, and so let him eat of [that] bread, and drink of [that] cup.

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

For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh condemnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

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

For this cause many [are] weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

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

For if we would judge ourselves, we should 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 chastened by the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

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

Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry 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.

And if any man hungereth, let him eat at home; that ye come not together to condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
