|
| 1 |
Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ. | |
| 2 |
I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you. | The Covering of Women's Heads 1Cor.11.2-16 |
| 3 |
But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. | |
| 4 |
Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonours his head, | |
| 5 |
but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonours her head - it is the same as if her head were shaven. | |
| 6 |
For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her wear a veil. | |
| 7 |
For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. | |
| 8 |
(For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. | |
| 9 |
Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.) | |
| 10 |
That is why a woman ought to have a veil on her head, because of the angels. | |
| 11 |
(Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman; | |
| 12 |
for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God.) | |
| 13 |
Judge for yourselves; is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? | |
| 14 |
Does not nature itself teach you that for a man to wear long hair is degrading to him, | |
| 15 |
but if a woman has long hair, it is her pride? For her hair is given to her for a covering. | |
| 16 |
If any one is disposed to be contentious, we recognize no other practice, nor do the churches of God. | |
| 17 |
But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse. | Abuses at the Lord's Supper 1Cor.11.17-22 |
| 18 |
For, in the first place, when you assemble as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it, | |
| 19 |
for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized. | |
| 20 |
When you meet together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat. | |
| 21 |
For in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal, and one is hungry and another is drunk. | |
| 22 |
What! Do you not have houses 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 commend you in this? No, I will not. | |
| 23 |
For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, | ← The Institution of the Lord's Supper 1Cor.11.23-25 |
| 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." | |
| 25 |
In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." | |
| 26 |
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. | |
| 27 |
Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. | Partaking of the Supper Unworthily 1Cor.11.27-34 |
| 28 |
Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. | |
| 29 |
For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself. | |
| 30 |
That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died. | |
| 31 |
But if we judged ourselves truly, we should not be judged. | |
| 32 |
But when we are judged by the Lord, we are chastened so that we may not be condemned along with the world. | |
| 33 |
So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another - | |
| 34 |
if any one is hungry, let him eat at home - lest you come together to be condemned. About the other things I will give directions when I come. | |
