1st Corinthians Chapter 11 - American Standard Version
- 1
- Be ye imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.
- 2
- Now I praise you that ye remember me in all things, and hold fast the traditions, even 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, dishonoreth his head.
- 5
- But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonoreth her head; for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven.
- 6
- For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.
- 7
- For a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled, 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
- for neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man:
- 10
- for this cause ought the woman to have [a sign of] authority on her head, because of the angels.
- 11
- Nevertheless, neither is the woman without the man, nor the man without the woman, in the Lord.
- 12
- For as the woman is of the man, so is the man also by the woman; but all things are of God.
- 13
- Judge ye in yourselves: is it seemly that a woman pray unto God unveiled?
- 14
- Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a dishonor to 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 seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
- 17
- But in giving you this charge, 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 divisions exist among you; and I partly believe it.
- 19
- For there must be also factions among you, that they that are approved may be made manifest among you.
- 20
- When therefore ye assemble yourselves together, it is not possible to eat the Lord`s supper:
- 21
- for in your eating each 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 put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this I praise you not.
- 23
- For I received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread;
- 24
- and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, This is my body, which is for you: this do in remembrance of me.
- 25
- In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye drink [it], in remembrance of me.
- 26
- For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye proclaim the Lord`s death till he come.
- 27
- Wherefore whosoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
- 28
- But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.
- 29
- For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body.
- 30
- For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.
- 31
- But if we discerned ourselves, we should not be judged.
- 32
- But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
- 33
- Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait one for another.
- 34
- If any man is hungry, let him eat at home; that your coming together be not unto judgment. And the rest will I set in order whensoever I come.
