1 Corinthians 11
11
1BE ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ.
2Now I praise you, brethren, that in all things you are mindful of me: and keep my ordinances as I have delivered them to you.
3But 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.
4Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered, disgraceth his head.
5But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered, disgraceth her head: for it is all one as if she were shaven.
6For if a woman be not covered, let her be shorn. But if it be a shame to a woman to be shorn or made bald, let her cover her head.
7The 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.
8For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man.
9For the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man.
10Therefore ought the woman to have a power over her head, because of the angels.
11But yet neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in the Lord.
12For as the woman is of the man, so also is the man by the woman: but all things of God.
13You yourselves judge: doth it become a woman, to pray unto God uncovered?
14Doth not even nature itself teach you, that a man indeed, if he nourish his hair, it is a shame unto him?
15But if a woman nourish her hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering.
16But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the church of God.
17Now this I ordain: not praising you, that you come together not for the better, but for the worse.
18For first of all I hear that when you come together in the church, there are schisms among you; and in part I believe it.
19For there must be also heresies: that they also, who are approved, may be made manifest among you.
20When you come therefore together into one place, it is not now to eat the Lord's supper.
21For every one taketh before his own supper to eat. And one indeed is hungry and another is drunk.
22What, have you 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? Do I praise you? In this I praise you not.
23For 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.
24And giving thanks, broke, and said: Take ye, and eat: this is my body, which shall be delivered for you: this do for the commemoration of me.
25In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me.
26For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come.
27Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.
28But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of the chalice.
29For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.
30Therefore are there many inform and weak among you, and many sleep.
31But if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
32But whilst we are judged, we are chastised by the Lord, that we be not condemned with this world.
33Wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
34If any man be hungry, let him eat at home; that you come not together unto judgment. And the rest I will set in order, when 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.
