LITV - I Corinthians - 11

11:1  Be imitators of me, as I also of Christ.

11:2  But I praise you, brothers, that in all things you have remembered me, and even as I delivered to you, you hold fast the doctrines.

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

11:4  Every man praying or prophesying, having anything down over his head shames his Head.

11:5  And every woman praying or prophesying with the head unveiled dishonors her head, for it is the same as being shaved.

11:6  For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn, or to be shaved, let her be veiled.

11:7  For truly a man ought not to have the head covered, being the image and glory of God. But woman is the glory of man;

11:8  for man is not of the woman, but woman of man;

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

11:10  because of this, the woman ought to have authority on the head, because of the angels.

11:11  However, man is not apart from woman, nor woman apart from man, in the Lord.

11:12  For as the woman is out of the man, so also the man through the woman; but all things from God.

11:13  You judge among yourselves: is it fitting for a woman to pray to God unveiled?

11:14  Or does not nature herself teach you that if a man indeed wears long hair, it is a dishonor to him?

11:15  But if a woman wears her hair long, it is a glory to her; because the hair has been given to her corresponding to a veil.

11:16  But if anyone thinks to be contentious, we do not have such a custom, nor the churches of God.

11:17  But enjoining this, I do not praise you , because you come together not for the better, but for the worse.

11:18  Indeed, first, I hear divisions to be among you when you come together in the church. And I believe some part.

11:19  For there must also be heresies among you, so that the approved ones may become revealed among you.

11:20  Then you coming together into one place, it is not to eat the Lord's supper.

11:21  For each one takes his own supper first in the eating; and one is hungry, and another drunken.

11:22  For do you not have houses to eat and to drink? Or do you despise the church of God, and shame those who have not? What do I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? I do not praise.

11:23  For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread;

11:24  and giving thanks, He broke and said, Take, eat; this is My body which is broken on behalf of you; this do in remembrance of Me.

11:25  In the same way the cup also, after supping, saying, This cup is the New Covenant in My blood; as often as you drink, do this in remembrance of Me. See Luke 22:19, 20

11:26  For as often as you may eat this bread, and drink this cup, you solemnly proclaim the death of the Lord, until He shall come.

11:27  So that whoever should eat this bread, or drink the cup of the Lord, unworthily, that one will be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.

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

11:29  for he eating and drinking unworthily eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.

11:30  For this reason many among you are weak and feeble, and many sleep.

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

11:32  But being judged, we are corrected by the Lord, that we not be condemned with the world.

11:33  So that, my brothers, coming together to eat, wait for one another.

11:34  But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, that you may not come together for judgment. And the other things I will set in order whenever I come.
