Bible, King James Version
1_Corinthians
1Cor.11
[1] Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of
Christ.
[2] Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all
things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
[3] But 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.
[4] Every man praying or prophesying, having his head
covered, dishonoureth his head.
[5] But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her
head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as
if she were shaven.
[6] For if the woman be not covered, let her also be
shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven,
let her be covered.
[7] For a man indeed ought not to cover his head,
forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is
the glory of the man.
[8] For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the
man.
[9] Neither was the man created for the woman; but the
woman for the man.
[10] For this cause ought the woman to have power on her
head because of the angels.
[11] Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman,
neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
[12] For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man
also by the woman; but all things of god.
[13] Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray
unto God uncovered?
[14] Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man
have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
[15] But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her:
for her hair is given her for a covering.
[16] But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no
such custom, neither the churches of God.
[17] Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not,
that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.
[18] For first of all, when ye come together in the
church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly
believe it.
[19] For there must be also heresies among you, that they
which are approved may be made manifest among you.
[20] When ye come together therefore into one place, this
is not to eat the Lord's supper.
[21] For in eating every one taketh before other his own
supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
[22] What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or
despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What
shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you
not.
[23] For 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:
[24] And 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.
[25] After the same manner also he took the cup, when he
had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood:
this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
[26] For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this
cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
[27] Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink
this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and
blood of the Lord.
[28] But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of
that bread, and drink of that cup.
[29] For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth
and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's
body.
[30] For this cause many are weak and sickly among you,
and many sleep.
[31] For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be
judged.
[32] But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord,
that we should not be condemned with the world.
[33] Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat,
tarry one for another.
[34] And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye
come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in
order when I come.
