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.

Qorintiyim Aleph (1 Corinthians) 11
11
1Become imitators of me, as I also am of Messiah.
2And I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in every way and keep the traditions as I delivered them to you.
3And I wish you to know that the head of every man is the Messiah,#See Eph. 1:22; Eph. 4:15; Eph. 5:23 and the head of woman is the man,#See Gen. 3:16 and the head of Messiah is Elohim.#See 1Cor. 3:23; John 14:28
4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, brings shame to his Head.
5And every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered brings shame to her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved.
6For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.#See Num. 5:18
7For a man indeed should not cover his head, since he is the likeness and esteem of Elohim, but woman is the esteem of man.
8For man is not from woman, but woman from man.
9For man also was not created for the woman, but woman for the man.
10Because of this the woman ought to have authority#Some say “a symbol of authority.” on her head, because of the messengers.
11However, man is not independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Master.
12For as the woman was from the man, even so the man also is through the woman. But all are from Elohim.
13Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to Elohim with her head uncovered?
14Does not nature itself teach you that if a man indeed has long hair, it is a disrespect to him?
15And if a woman has long hair, it is an esteem to her, because the long hair has been given to her over against a veil.
16If, however, anyone seems to be contentious, we do not have such a habit, nor do the assemblies of Elohim.
17And in declaring this I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse.
18For in the first place, I hear that when you come together as an assembly, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it.
19For there have to be factions even among you, so that the approved ones might be revealed among you.
20So when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Master’s supper.
21For, when you eat, each one takes his own supper first, and one is hungry and another is drunk.
22Have you not houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the assembly of Elohim and shame those who have not? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise!
23For I received from the Master that which I also delivered to you: that the Master יהושע in the night in which He was delivered up took bread,
24and having given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat, this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
25In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the renewed covenant in My blood. As often as you drink it, do this in remembrance of Me.”
26For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the death of the Master until He comes.
27So that whoever should eat this bread or drink this cup of the Master unworthily shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Master.
28But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup.
29For the one who is eating and drinking unworthily, eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Master.
30Because of this many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.
31For if we were to examine ourselves, we would not be judged.
32But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Master, that we should not be condemned with the world.
33So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
34And if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And the rest I shall set in order when I come.
