The First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians 11

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

2 Now I praise you, because you remember me in all things and you hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you. 3 Now I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ. 4 Every man praying or prophesying, having something on his head, dishonors his head. 5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as having been shaved. 6 For if a woman does not cover her head, let her hair also be cut off. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, let her cover her head. 7 For a man ought not to cover his head, being the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of man. 8 For man is not from woman, but woman is from man. 9 For indeed man was not created for the woman, but woman for the man. 10 Because of this the woman ought to have authority on the head, because of the angels. 11 Nevertheless, in the Lord, woman is not independent from man, nor is man independent from woman. 12 For even as the woman is from the man, so also the man is through the woman, but all things are from God. 13 Judge for your own selves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God uncovered? 14 Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man might have long hair, it is a disgrace for him, 15 but if a woman might have long hair, it is glory for her? For the long hair has been given to her as a covering. 16 But if anyone thinks to be contentious about this, we do not have any such practice, nor the churches of God.

17 But in commanding this, I do not praise you, for you come together not for the better but for the worse. 18 For first, I hear that in your coming together in the church, there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it. 19 For it is necessary indeed for there to be factions among you, so that also the ones approved may become evident among you. 20 So then, your coming together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper. 21 For when eating, each one takes his own supper first; and one is indeed hungry, but one is drunk. 22 For do you certainly not have houses in which to eat and to drink? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate the ones having nothing? What should I say to you? Should I praise you for this? I do not praise you! 23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night in which he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and having given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in the remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way also the cup after the supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in the remembrance of me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he would come. 27 Whoever, therefore, might eat the bread or might drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and in this way let him eat from the bread, and let him drink from the cup. 29 For the one eating and drinking without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment to himself. 30 Because of this many among you are weak and sick, and many are fallen asleep. 31 But if we were examining ourselves, we would not be judged. 32 But being judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we might not be condemned along with the world. 33 Therefore, my brothers, coming together to eat, wait for one another. 34 If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you might not come together for judgment. Now about the remaining things, I will give directions when I come.
