YLT - I Corinthians - 11

11:1  Followers of me become ye, as I also am of Christ.

11:2  And I praise you, brethren, that in all things ye remember me, and according as I did deliver to you, the deliverances ye keep,

11:3  and I wish you to know that of every man the head is the Christ, and the head of a woman is the husband, and the head of Christ is God.

11:4  Every man praying or prophesying, having the head covered, doth dishonour his head,

11:5  and every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered, doth dishonour her own head, for it is one and the same thing with her being shaven,

11:6  for if a woman is not covered--then let her be shorn, and if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven--let her be covered;

11:7  for a man, indeed, ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God, and a woman is the glory of a man,

11:8  for a man is not of a woman, but a woman is of a man,

11:9  for a man also was not created because of the woman, but a woman because of the man;

11:10  because of this the woman ought to have a token of authority upon the head, because of the messengers;

11:11  but neither is a man apart from a woman, nor a woman apart from a man, in the Lord,

11:12  for as the woman is of the man, so also the man is through the woman, and the all things are of God.

11:13  In your own selves judge ye; is it seemly for a woman uncovered to pray to God?

11:14  doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man indeed have long hair, a dishonour it is to him?

11:15  and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her;

11:16  and if any one doth think to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the assemblies of God.

11:17  And this declaring, I give no praise, because not for the better, but for the worse ye come together;

11:18  for first, indeed, ye coming together in an assembly, I hear of divisions being among you, and partly I believe it ,

11:19  for it behoveth sects also to be among you, that those approved may become manifest among you;

11:20  ye, then, coming together at the same place--it is not to eat the Lord's supper;

11:21  for each his own supper doth take before in the eating, and one is hungry, and another is drunk;

11:22  why, have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or the assembly of God do ye despise, and shame those not having? what may I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I do not praise!

11:23  For I--I received from the Lord that which also I did deliver to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread,

11:24  and having given thanks, he brake, and said, `Take ye, eat ye, this is my body, that for you is being broken; this do ye--to the remembrance of me.'

11:25  In like manner also the cup after the supping, saying, `This cup is the new covenant in my blood; this do ye, as often as ye may drink it --to the remembrance of me;'

11:26  for as often as ye may eat this bread, and this cup may drink, the death of the Lord ye do shew forth--till he may come;

11:27  so that whoever may eat this bread or may drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, guilty he shall be of the body and blood of the Lord:

11:28  and let a man be proving himself, and so of the bread let him eat, and of the cup let him drink;

11:29  for he who is eating and drinking unworthily, judgment to himself he doth eat and drink--not discerning the body of the Lord.

11:30  Because of this, among you many are weak and sickly, and sleep do many;

11:31  for if ourselves we were discerning, we would not be being judged,

11:32  and being judged by the Lord, we are chastened, that with the world we may not be condemned;

11:33  so then, my brethren, coming together to eat, for one another wait ye;

11:34  and if any one is hungry, at home let him eat, that to judgment ye may not come together; and the rest, whenever I may come, I shall arrange.
