1 Corinthians 11 — ASVBT
11Verse 1Be ye imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.Verse 2Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and hold fast the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.Verse 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.Verse 4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoreth his head.Verse 5But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonoreth her own head; for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven.Verse 6For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.Verse 7For a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but a woman is the glory of a man.Verse 8For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man:Verse 9for neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man:Verse 10for this cause ought the woman to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.Verse 11Nevertheless, neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in the Lord.Verse 12For as the woman is of the man, so is the man also by the woman; but all things are of God.Verse 13Judge ye in yourselves: is it seemly that a woman pray unto God unveiled?Verse 14Or doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a dishonor to him?Verse 15But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given for a covering.Verse 16But if any man seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.Verse 17But in giving you this charge, I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better but for the worse.Verse 18For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and I partly believe it.Verse 19For there must be also factions among you, that they that are approved may be made manifest among you.Verse 20When therefore ye assemble yourselves together, it is not possible to eat the Lord’s supper:Verse 21for in your eating each one taketh before other his own supper; and one is hungry, and another is drunken.Verse 22What, have ye 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? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.Verse 23For I received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread;Verse 24and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take; eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.Verse 25In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.Verse 26For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye proclaim the Lord’s death till he come.Verse 27Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread or drink the cup of the Lord in a manner unworthy of the Lord, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.Verse 28But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.Verse 29For he that eateth and drinketh in an unworthy manner, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, since he discerneth not the body of the Lord.Verse 30For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.Verse 31For if we discerned ourselves, we should not be judged.Verse 32But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.Verse 33Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait one for another.Verse 34And if any man is hungry, let him eat at home; that your coming together be not unto judgment. And the rest will I set in order whensoever I come.
