1 Corinthians 11
11
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.

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.
