| 11:1 |
Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
|
| 11:2 |
I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the teachings, just as I passed them on to you.
|
| 11:3 |
Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
|
| 11:4 |
Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.
|
| 11:5 |
And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head--it is just as though her head were shaved.
|
| 11:6 |
If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.
|
| 11:7 |
A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.
|
| 11:8 |
For man did not come from woman, but woman from man;
|
| 11:9 |
neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.
|
| 11:10 |
For this reason, and because of the angels, the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head.
|
| 11:11 |
In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.
|
| 11:12 |
For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.
|
| 11:13 |
Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
|
| 11:14 |
Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,
|
| 11:15 |
but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering.
|
| 11:16 |
If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice--nor do the churches of God.
|
| 11:17 |
In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good.
|
| 11:18 |
In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it.
|
| 11:19 |
No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God's approval.
|
| 11:20 |
When you come together, it is not the Lord's Supper you eat,
|
| 11:21 |
for as you eat, each of you goes ahead without waiting for anybody else. One remains hungry, another gets drunk.
|
| 11:22 |
Don't you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? Certainly not!
|
| 11:23 |
For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,
|
| 11:24 |
and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me."
|
| 11:25 |
In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me."
|
| 11:26 |
For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
|
| 11:27 |
Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.
|
| 11:28 |
A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup.
|
| 11:29 |
For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself.
|
| 11:30 |
That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.
|
| 11:31 |
But if we judged ourselves, we would not come under judgment.
|
| 11:32 |
When we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world.
|
| 11:33 |
So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for each other.
|
| 11:34 |
If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment. And when I come I will give further directions.
