1 Corinthians 11
11
1 Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Messiah.
2 Now I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you. 3But I would have you know that the head#11:3 or, origin of every man is Messiah, and the head#11:3 or, origin of the woman is man, and the head#11:3 or, origin of Messiah is God. 4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonours his head. 5But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonours her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved. 6For if a woman is not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or be shaved, let her be covered. 7For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man. 8For man is not from woman, but woman from man; 9for man wasn’t created for the woman, but woman for the man. 10For this cause the woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels.
11 Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord. 12For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God. 13Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled? 14Doesn’t even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonour to him? 15But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given to her for a covering. 16But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God’s assemblies.
17 But in giving you this command I don’t praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse. 18For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist amongst you, and I partly believe it. 19For there also must be factions amongst you, that those who are approved may be revealed amongst you. 20When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat. 21For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunken. 22What, don’t you have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise God’s assembly and put them to shame who don’t have enough? What shall I tell you? Shall I praise you? In this I don’t praise you.
23 For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Yeshua on the night in which he was betrayed took bread. 24When he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “Take, eat. This is my body, which is broken for you. Do this in memory of me.” 25In the same way he also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink, in memory of me.” 26For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord’s cup in a way unworthy of the Lord will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. 28But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy way eats and drinks judgement to himself if he doesn’t discern the Lord’s body. 30For this cause many amongst you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep. 31For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn’t be judged. 32But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world. 33Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. 34But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgement. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.

1 Corinthians 11
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.
