1 Corinthians 11

Common English Bible CEB

1 Follow my example, just like I follow Christ's.

2 I praise you because you remember all my instructions, and you hold on to the traditions exactly as I handed them on to you.

3 Now I want you to 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.

4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered shames his head.

5 Every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered disgraces her head. It is the same thing as having her head shaved.

6 If a woman doesn't cover her head, then she should have her hair cut off. If it is disgraceful for a woman to have short hair or to be shaved, then she should keep her head covered.

7 A man shouldn't have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is man's glory.

8 Man didn't have his origin from woman, but woman from man;

9 and man wasn't created for the sake of the woman, but the woman for the sake of the man.

10 Because of this a woman should have authority over her head, because of the angels.

11 However, woman isn't independent from man, and man isn't independent from woman in the Lord.

12 As woman came from man so also man comes from woman. But everything comes from God.

13 Judge for yourselves: Is it appropriate for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

14 Doesn't nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him;

15 but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? This is because her long hair is given to her for a covering.

16 But if someone wants to argue about this, we don't have such a custom, nor do God's churches.

17 Now I don't praise you as I give the following instruction because when you meet together, it does more harm than good.

18 First of all, when you meet together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you, and I partly believe it.

19 It's necessary that there are groups among you, to make it clear who is genuine.

20 So when you get together in one place, it isn't to eat the Lord's meal.

21 Each of you goes ahead and eats a private meal. One person goes hungry while another is drunk.

22 Don't you have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you look down on God's churches and humiliate those who have nothing? What can I say to you? Will I praise you? No, I don't praise you in this.

23 I received a tradition from the Lord, which I also handed on to you: on the night on which he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took bread.

24 After giving thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this to remember me."

25 He did the same thing with the cup, after they had eaten, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Every time you drink it, do this to remember me."

26 Every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you broadcast the death of the Lord until he comes.

27 This is why those who eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord inappropriately will be guilty of the Lord's body and blood.

28 Each individual should test himself or herself, and eat from the bread and drink from the cup in that way.

29 Those who eat and drink without correctly understanding the body are eating and drinking their own judgment.

30 Because of this, many of you are weak and sick, and quite a few have died.

31 But if we had judged ourselves, we wouldn't be judged.

32 However, we are disciplined by the Lord when we are judged so that we won't be judged and condemned along with the whole world.

33 For these reasons, my brothers and sisters, when you get together to eat, wait for each other.

34 If some of you are hungry, they should eat at home so that getting together doesn't lead to judgment. I will give directions about the other things when I come.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Imitate me as I imitate Christ.

2 I praise you for always thinking about me and for carefully following the traditions that I handed down to you.

3 However, I want you to realize that Christ has authority over every man, a husband has authority over his wife, and God has authority over Christ.

4 Every man who covers his head when he prays or speaks what God has revealed dishonors the one who has authority over him.

5 Every woman who prays or speaks what God has revealed and has her head uncovered while she speaks dishonors the one who has authority over her. She is like the woman who has her head shaved.

6 So if a woman doesn't cover her head, she should cut off her hair. If it's a disgrace for a woman to cut off her hair or shave her head, she should cover her head.

7 A man should not cover his head. He is God's image and glory. The woman, however, is man's glory.

8 Clearly, man wasn't made from woman but woman from man.

9 Man wasn't created for woman but woman for man.

10 Therefore, a woman should wear something on her head to show she is under [someone's] authority, out of respect for the angels.

11 Yet, as believers in the Lord, women couldn't exist without men and men couldn't exist without women.

12 As a woman came into existence from a man, so men come into existence by women, but everything comes from God.

13 Judge your own situation. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

14 Doesn't nature itself teach you that it is disgraceful for a man to have long hair?

15 Doesn't it teach you that it is a woman's pride to wear her hair long? Her hair is given to her in place of a covering.

16 If anyone wants to argue about this [they can't, because] we don't have any custom like this--nor do any of the churches of God.

17 I have no praise for you as I instruct you in the following matter: When you gather, it results in more harm than good.

18 In the first place, I hear that when you gather as a church you split up into opposing groups. I believe some of what I hear.

19 Factions have to exist in order to make it clear who the genuine believers among you are.

20 When you gather in the same place, you can't possibly be eating the Lord's Supper.

21 Each of you eats his own supper [without waiting for each other]. So one person goes hungry and another gets drunk.

22 Don't you have homes in which to eat and drink? Do you despise God's church and embarrass people who don't have anything to eat? What can I say to you? Should I praise you? I won't praise you for this.

23 After all, I passed on to you what I had received from the Lord. On the night he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took bread

24 and spoke a prayer of thanksgiving. He broke the bread and said, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me."

25 When supper was over, he did the same with the cup. He said, "This cup is the new promise made with my blood. Every time you drink from it, do it to remember me."

26 Every time you eat this bread and drink from this cup, you tell about the Lord's death until he comes.

27 Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks from the Lord's cup in an improper way will be held responsible for the Lord's body and blood.

28 With this in mind, individuals must determine whether what they are doing is proper when they eat the bread and drink from the cup.

29 Anyone who eats and drinks is eating and drinking a judgment against himself when he doesn't recognize the Lord's body.

30 This is the reason why many of you are weak and sick and quite a number [of you] have died.

31 If we were judging ourselves correctly, we would not be judged.

32 But when the Lord judges us, he disciplines us so that we won't be condemned along with the rest of the world.

33 Therefore, brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, wait for each other.

34 Whoever is hungry should eat at home so that you don't have a gathering that brings judgment on you. I will give directions concerning the other matters when I come.
