AICNT 1COR Chapter 11

◄ 1COR 11 ► ║ ═ ©

11 Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.

2 Now I praise you [[brothers]][fn] because you remember me in everything and hold fast to the traditions just as I delivered them to you.

3 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.

4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. 5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors {her own}[fn] head, for it is one and the same as if she were shaved. 6 For if a woman does not cover her head, let her also have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her cover her head.

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

8 For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man; 9 for indeed man was not created for the woman's sake, but woman for the man's sake. 10 Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.[fn]

11 However, in the Lord, neither is {woman independent of man, nor is man independent of woman}.[fn] 12 For as the woman originates from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman; and all things originate from God.

13 Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him, 15 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 one is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, nor do the churches of God.

17 But in giving this instruction, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

18 For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and in part I believe it. 19 For there must [also][fn] be factions [among you],[fn] so that those who are approved may become evident [among you].[fn]

20 Therefore when you meet together, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper, 21 for in your eating each one takes his own supper first; and one is hungry and another is drunk.

22 What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise [you]?[fn] In this I will not praise you.

23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord [Jesus][fn] in the night in which he was betrayed took bread; 24 And having given thanks, he broke it and said, [[“Take, eat]][fn] this is my body which is [[broken]][fn] for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way he took the cup also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”[fn] 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink {the}[fn] cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

27 Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks {the}[fn] cup of the Lord in an manner unworthy [[of the Lord]],[fn] shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

28 But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For the one eating and drinking [[in an unworthy manner]][fn] brings judgment upon oneself, eating and drinking without discerning the body [[of the Lord]].[fn]

30 For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep. 31 But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world.

33 So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. 34 If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment. The remaining matters I will arrange when I come.
