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. |
