1 Corinthians (1 Co) 11

1try to imitate me, even as I myself try to imitate the Messiah.
2Now I praise you because you have remembered everything I told you and observe the traditions just the way I passed them on to you. 3But I want you to understand that the head of every man is the Messiah, and the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of the Messiah is God. 4Every man who prays or prophesies wearing something down over his head brings shame to his head, 5but every woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled brings shame to her head — there is no difference between her and a woman who has had her head shaved. 6For if a woman is not veiled, let her also have her hair cut short; but if it is shameful for a woman to wear her hair cut short or to have her head shaved, then let her be veiled. 7For a man indeed should not have his head veiled, because he is the image and glory of God, and the woman is the glory of man. 8For man was not made from woman, but woman from man; 9and indeed man was not created for the sake of the woman but woman for the sake of the man. 10The reason a woman should show by veiling her head that she is under authority has to do with the angels. 11Nevertheless, in union with the Lord neither is woman independent of man nor is man independent of woman; 12for as the woman was made from the man, so also the man is now born through the woman. But everything is from God. 13Decide for yourselves: is it appropriate for a woman to pray to God when she is unveiled? 14Doesn’t the nature of things itself teach you that a man who wears his hair long degrades himself? 15But a woman who wears her hair long enhances her appearance, because her hair has been given to her as a covering. 16However, if anyone wants to argue about it, the fact remains that we have no such custom, nor do the Messianic communities of God.
17But in giving you this next instruction I do not praise you, because when you meet together it does more harm than good! 18For, in the first place, I hear that when you gather together as a congregation you divide up into cliques; and to a degree I believe it 19(granted that there must be some divisions among you in order to show who are the ones in the right). 20Thus, when you gather together, it is not to eat a meal of the Lord; 21because as you eat your meal, each one goes ahead on his own; so that one stays hungry while another is already drunk! 22Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? Or are you trying to show your contempt for God’s Messianic community and embarrass those who are poor? What am I supposed to say to you? Am I supposed to praise you? Well, for this I don’t praise you!
23For what I received from the Lord is just what I passed on to you — that the Lord Yeshua, on the night he was betrayed, took bread; 24and after he had made the b’rakhah he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this as a memorial to me”; 25likewise also the cup after the meal, saying, “This cup is the New Covenant effected by my blood; do this, as often as you drink it, as a memorial to me.” 26For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord, until he comes.
27Therefore, whoever eats the Lord’s bread or drinks the Lord’s cup in an unworthy manner will be guilty of desecrating the body and blood of the Lord! 28So let a person examine himself first, and then he may eat of the bread and drink from the cup; 29for a person who eats and drinks without recognizing the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself. 30This is why many among you are weak and sick, and some have died! 31If we would examine ourselves, we would not come under judgment. 32But when we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined, so that we will not be condemned along with the world.
33So then, my brothers, when you gather together to eat, wait for one another. 34If someone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you meet together it will not result in judgment.
As for the other matters, I will instruct you about them when I come.

1Followers of me become ye, as I also [am] of Christ.
2And I praise you, brethren, that in all things ye remember me, and according as I did deliver to you, the deliverances ye keep,
3and I wish you to know that of every man the head is the Christ, and the head of a woman is the husband, and the head of Christ is God.
4Every man praying or prophesying, having the head covered, doth dishonour his head,
5and every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered, doth dishonour her own head, for it is one and the same thing with her being shaven,
6for if a woman is not covered — then let her be shorn, and if [it is] a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven — let her be covered;
7for a man, indeed, ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God, and a woman is the glory of a man,
8for a man is not of a woman, but a woman [is] of a man,
9for a man also was not created because of the woman, but a woman because of the man;
10because of this the woman ought to have [a token of] authority upon the head, because of the messengers;
11but neither [is] a man apart from a woman, nor a woman apart from a man, in the Lord,
12for as the woman [is] of the man, so also the man [is] through the woman, and the all things [are] of God.
13In your own selves judge ye; is it seemly for a woman uncovered to pray to God?
14doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man indeed have long hair, a dishonour it is to him?
15and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her;
16and if any one doth think to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the assemblies of God.
17And this declaring, I give no praise, because not for the better, but for the worse ye come together;
18for first, indeed, ye coming together in an assembly, I hear of divisions being among you, and partly I believe [it],
19for it behoveth sects also to be among you, that those approved may become manifest among you;
20ye, then, coming together at the same place — it is not to eat the Lord's supper;
21for each his own supper doth take before in the eating, and one is hungry, and another is drunk;
22why, have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or the assembly of God do ye despise, and shame those not having? what may I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I do not praise!
23For I — I received from the Lord that which also I did deliver to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread,
24and having given thanks, he brake, and said, ‘Take ye, eat ye, this is my body, that for you is being broken; this do ye — to the remembrance of me.’
25In like manner also the cup after the supping, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood; this do ye, as often as ye may drink [it] — to the remembrance of me;’
26for as often as ye may eat this bread, and this cup may drink, the death of the Lord ye do shew forth — till he may come;
27so that whoever may eat this bread or may drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, guilty he shall be of the body and blood of the Lord:
28and let a man be proving himself, and so of the bread let him eat, and of the cup let him drink;
29for he who is eating and drinking unworthily, judgment to himself he doth eat and drink — not discerning the body of the Lord.
30Because of this, among you many [are] weak and sickly, and sleep do many;
31for if ourselves we were discerning, we would not be being judged,
32and being judged by the Lord, we are chastened, that with the world we may not be condemned;
33so then, my brethren, coming together to eat, for one another wait ye;
34and if any one is hungry, at home let him eat, that to judgment ye may not come together; and the rest, whenever I may come, I shall arrange.
