1 Corinthians 11

1#1Co 4:16; Php 3:17Follow me as I follow Christ.
Covering the Head in Worship
2#2Th 2:15; 1Co 4:17; 11:17I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions as I delivered them to you. 3#Ge 3:16; 1Co 3:23; Eph 4:15But I would have you know that the head of the woman is the man, the head of every man is Christ, and the head of Christ is God. 4Every man praying or prophesying having his head covered dishonors his head, 5#Dt 21:12; Ac 21:9but every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is the same as if she were shaved. 6For if the woman is not covered, let her also cut off her hair. But if it is a shame for a woman to have her hair cut off or shaved, let her be covered.
7#Jas 3:9; Ge 5:1For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, because he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man. 8#1Ti 2:13; Ge 2:21–23The man is not from the woman, but the woman from the man. 9#Ge 2:18The man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man. 10For this reason the woman ought to have a veil of authority over her head, because of the angels. 11#Gal 3:28Nevertheless, neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man in the Lord. 12#Ro 11:36For just as the woman came from the man, so the man comes through the woman, but all things come from God.
13#Lk 12:57Judge for yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God uncovered? 14Does even nature itself not teach you that if a man has long hair it is a shame to him? 15But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given her for a covering. 16#1Co 7:17; 1Th 2:14But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor have the churches of God.
Abuses at the Lord’s Supper
17#1Co 11:2; 11:22Now in what I have to say to you, I do not praise you. You have come together not for the better, but for the worse. 18#1Co 3:3; 1:10–12First of all, when you come together as the church, I hear that there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it. 19#1Jn 2:19; Dt 13:3For there must also be factions among you so that those who are genuine may become evident among you. 20Therefore when you come together into one place, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper. 21#Jude 1:12; 2Pe 2:13For in eating, each one eats his own supper ahead of others. One goes hungry, and another becomes drunk. 22#1Co 10:32; Pr 17:5What? Do you not have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.
The Lord’s Supper
Mt 26:26–29; Mk 14:22–25; Lk 22:14–20
23#1Co 15:3; Mt 26:26–28; Mk 14:22–24I have received of the Lord that which I delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus, on the night in which He was betrayed, took bread. 24When He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take and eat. This is My body which is broken for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.”#Mt 26:26; Mk 14:22; Lk 22:19. 25#Lk 22:20; 2Co 3:6In the same manner He took the cup after He had supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”#Mt 26:27–28; Mk 14:24; Lk 22:20. 26#Jn 21:22; 1Co 4:5As often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.
Partaking of the Supper Unworthily
27#Nu 9:10; 9:13Therefore whoever eats this bread and drinks this cup of the Lord unworthily will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28#2Co 13:5; Gal 6:4Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29For he who eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. 30For this reason many are weak and unhealthy among you, and many die. 31#1Jn 1:9If we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. 32But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, so that we would not be condemned with the world.
33So, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. 34#1Co 4:19; 11:21–22If anyone hungers, let him eat at home, so that you may not come together into condemnation.
I will set the rest in order when I come.

11
1 Be imitators of me, as I also am of Christ.
2 Now I praise you, brothers, because you are mindful of me in everything, in such a way as to hold to my precepts as I have handed them down to you.
3 So I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ. But the head of woman is man. Yet truly, the head of Christ is God.
4 Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered disgraces his head.
5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered disgraces her head. For it is the same as if her head were shaven.
6 So if a woman is not veiled, let her hair be cut off. Truly then, if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off, or to have her head shaven, then she should cover her head.
7 Certainly, a man ought not to cover his head, for he is the image and glory of God. But woman is the glory of man.
8 For man is not of woman, but woman is of man.
9 And indeed, man was not created for woman, but woman was created for man.
10 Therefore, a woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the Angels.
11 Yet truly, man would not exist without woman, nor would woman exist without man, in the Lord.
12 For just as woman came into existence from man, so also does man exist through woman. But all things are from God.
13 Judge for yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God unveiled?
14 Does not even nature herself teach you that, indeed, if a man grows his hair long, it is a disgrace for him?
15 Yet truly, if a woman grows her hair long, it is a glory for her, because her hair has been given to her as a covering.
16 But if anyone has a mind to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor does the Church of God.
17 Now I caution you, without praising, about this: that you assemble together, and not for better, but for worse.
18 First of all, indeed, I hear that when you assemble together in the church, there are schisms among you. And I believe this, in part.
19 For there must also be heresies, so that those who have been tested may be made manifest among you.
20 And so, when you assemble together as one, it is no longer in order to eat the Lord's supper.
21 For each one first takes his own supper to eat. And as a result, one person is hungry, while another is inebriated.
22 Do you not have houses, in which to eat and drink? Or do you have such contempt for the Church of God that you would confound those who do not have such contempt? What should I say to you? Should I praise you? I am not praising you in this.
23 For I have received from the Lord what I have also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus, on the same night that he was handed over, took bread,
24 and giving thanks, he broke it, and said: "Take and eat. This is my body, which shall be given up for you. Do this in remembrance of me."
25 Similarly also, the cup, after he had eaten supper, saying: "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."
26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord, until he returns.
27 And so, whoever eats this bread, or drinks from the cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be liable of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself, and, in this way, let him eat from that bread, and drink from that cup.
29 For whoever eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks a sentence against himself, not discerning it to be the body of the Lord.
30 As a result, many are weak and sick among you, and many have fallen asleep.
31 But if we ourselves were discerning, then certainly we would not be judged.
32 Yet when we are judged, we are being corrected by the Lord, so that we might not be condemned along with this world.
33 And so, my brothers, when you assemble together to eat, be attentive to one another.
34 If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you may not assemble together unto judgment. As for the rest, I will set it in order when I arrive.
