1 Corinthians Chapter 11 (Index)

001  Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

002  Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.

003  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.

004  Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.

005  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.

006  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.

007  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.

008  For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.

009  Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

010  For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

011  Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

012  For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.

013  Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?

014  Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

015  But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

016  But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

017  Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.

018  For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

019  For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

020  When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.

021  For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

022  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.

023  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:

024  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.

025  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.

026  For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he come.

027  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.

028  But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

029  For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

030  For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

031  For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

032  But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

033  Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.

034  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.
