Chapter 11 | |
1 |
Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
|
2 | 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 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 his head covered, dishonoureth his head. |
5 | But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered
dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
|
6 | For if the woman be not covered,
let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven,
let her be covered.
|
7 | 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 is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. |
9 | Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. |
10 | 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, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. |
12 | For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God. |
13 | Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? |
14 | Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? |
15 | But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. |
16 | But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God. |
17 | Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse. |
18 |
For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be
divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
|
19 | For there must be also heresies among you, that they
which are approved may be made manifest among you.
|
20 | When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper. |
21 | For in eating every one taketh before other his own
supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
|
22 | 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 have received of the Lord that
which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he
was betrayed took bread:
|
24 |
And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. |
25 | 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 oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
|
26 | For as often as ye eat this bread, and
drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
|
27 | Wherefore whosoever 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 that bread, and drink
of that cup.
|
29 | For he
that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself,
not discerning the Lord's body.
|
30 | For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. |
31 | For if we
would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
|
32 | But when we are judged, we are chastened of the
Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
|
33 | Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. |
34 | And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye
come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I
come.
