1 Corinthians 11

English Standard Version ESV

1 Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.

2 Now I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I delivered them to you.

3 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.

4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head,

5 but every wife who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since it is the same as if her head were shaven.

6 For if a wife will not cover her head, then she should cut her hair short. But since it is disgraceful for a wife to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her head.

7 For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man.

8 For man was not made from woman, but woman from man.

9 Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.

10 That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

11 Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman;

12 for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God.

13 Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a wife to pray to God with her head uncovered?

14 Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for him,

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

16 If anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, nor do the churches of God.

17 But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.

18 For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you. And I believe it in part,

19 for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized.

20 When you come together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat.

21 For in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal. One goes hungry, another gets drunk.

22 What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you in this? No, I will not.

23 For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread,

24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me. ”

25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me. ”

26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

27 Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord.

28 Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.

30 That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.

31 But if we judged ourselves truly, we would not be judged.

32 But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world.

33 So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another—

34 if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home—so that when you come together it will not be for judgment. About the other things I will give directions when I come.

The Darby Translation DBY

1 Be my imitators, even as *I* also [am] of Christ.

2 Now I praise you, that in all things ye are mindful of me; and that as I have directed you, ye keep the directions.

3 But I wish you to know that the Christ is the head of every man, but woman's head [is] the man, and the Christ's head God.

4 Every man praying or prophesying, having [anything] on his head, puts his head to shame.

5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered puts her own head to shame; for it is one and the same as a shaved [woman].

6 For if a woman be not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if [it be] shameful to a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, let her be covered.

7 For man indeed ought not to have his head covered, being God's image and glory; but woman is man's glory.

8 For man is not of woman, but woman of man.

9 For also man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake of the man.

10 Therefore ought the woman to have authority on her head, on account of the angels.

11 However, neither [is] woman without man, nor man without woman, in [the] Lord.

12 For as the woman [is] of the man, so also [is] the man by the woman, but all things of God.

13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman should pray to God uncovered?

14 Does not even nature itself teach you, that man, if he have long hair, it is a dishonour to him?

15 But woman, if she have long hair, [it is] glory to her; for the long hair is given [to her] in lieu of a veil.

16 But if any one think to be contentious, *we* have no such custom, nor the assemblies of God.

17 But [in] prescribing [to you on] this [which I now enter on], I do not praise, [namely,] that ye come together, not for the better, but for the worse.

18 For first, when ye come together in assembly, I hear there exist divisions among you, and I partly give credit [to it].

19 For there must also be sects among you, that the approved may become manifest among you.

20 When ye come therefore together into one place, it is not to eat [the] Lord's supper.

21 For each one in eating takes his *own* supper before [others], and one is hungry and another drinks to excess.

22 Have ye not then houses for eating and drinking? or do ye despise the assembly of God, and put to shame them who have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this [point] I do not praise.

23 For *I* received from the Lord, that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread,

24 and having given thanks broke [it], and said, This is my body, which [is] for you: this do in remembrance of me.

25 In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye shall drink [it], in remembrance of me.

26 For as often as ye shall eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye announce the death of the Lord, until he come.

27 So that whosoever shall eat the bread, or drink the cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty in respect of the body and of the blood of the Lord.

28 But let a man prove himself, and thus eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

29 For [the] eater and drinker eats and drinks judgment to himself, not distinguishing the body.

30 On this account many among you [are] weak and infirm, and a good many are fallen asleep.

31 But if we judged ourselves, so were we not judged.

32 But being judged, we are disciplined of [the] Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

33 So that, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait for one another.

34 If any one be hungry, let him eat at home, that ye may not come together for judgment. But the other things, whenever I come, I will set in order.
