UKJV - I Corinthians - 11

11:1  Be all of you followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

11:2  Now I praise you, brethren, that all of you remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.

11:3  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.

11:4  Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonours his head.

11:5  But every woman that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonours her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

11:6  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.

11:7  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.

11:8  For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.

11:9  Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

11:10  For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

11:11  Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

11:12  For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.

11:13  Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?

11:14  Does not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

11:15  But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

11:16  But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

11:17  Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that all of you come together not for the better, but for the worse.

11:18  For first of all, when all of you come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

11:19  For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

11:20  When all of you come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.

11:21  For in eating every one takes before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

11:22  What? have all of you not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise all of you 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.

11:23  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:

11:24  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.

11:25  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 all of you, as often as all of you drink it, in remembrance of me.

11:26  For as often as all of you eat this bread, and drink this cup, all of you do show the Lord's death till he comes.

11:27  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.

11:28  But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

11:29  For he that eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

11:30  For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

11:31  For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

11:32  But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

11:33  Wherefore, my brethren, when all of you come together to eat, tarry one for another.

11:34  And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that all of you come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
