Lexham English Bible LEB
1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
1
Become imitators of me, just as I also [am] of Christ.
2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
2
Now I praise you that you remember me [in] all [things], and just as I handed over to you the traditions, you hold fast to [them].
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.
3
But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and the man [is the] head of the woman, and [the] head of Christ [is] God.
4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
4
Every man who prays or prophesies [while] having [something] on [his] head dishonors his head,
5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
5
but every woman who prays or prophesies with uncovered head dishonors her head, for she is one and the same with the one whose [head] is shaved.
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.
6
For if a woman does not cover herself, let her [hair] be shorn off. But if [it is] shameful for a woman to [have her head] shorn or shaved, let her cover her [head].
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.
7
For indeed a man ought not to cover his head, [because he] is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.
8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
8
For man is not from woman, but woman from man.
9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
9
For indeed man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake of the man.
10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
10
Because of this, the woman ought to have [a symbol of] authority on her head, on account of the angels.
11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
11
Nevertheless, neither [is] woman [anything] apart from man, nor [is] man [anything] apart from woman in the Lord.
12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
12
For just as the woman [is] from the man, thus also the man [is] through the woman. But all [things] [are] from God.
13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
13
You judge {for yourselves}: is it fitting for a woman to pray to God [with her head] uncovered?
14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
14
And does not nature itself teach you that a man, if he wears long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
15
But a woman, if she wears long hair, it is her glory, because her hair is given for a covering.
16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
16
But if anyone is disposed to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.
17 Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.
17
But in giving this instruction I do not praise [you], because you come together not for the better but for the worse.
18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
18
For in the first place, [when you] come together as a church, I hear there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.
19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
19
For indeed it is necessary that there be factions among you, in order that those who are approved may become evident among you.
20 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.
20
Therefore, [when] you come together in the same [place], it is not to eat the Lord's supper.
21 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
21
For [when you] eat [it], each one of you goes ahead to take his own supper, and one is hungry and another is drunk.
22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye 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.
22
For do you not have houses for eating and drinking? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who do not have [anything]? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise [you]!
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:
23
For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night in which he was betrayed, took bread,
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.
24
and [after he] had given thanks, he broke [it] and said, "This is my body which [is] for you. Do this in remembrance of me."
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 ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
25
Likewise also the cup, after they had eaten, 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 ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
26
For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
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.
27
So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
28
But let a person examine himself, and in this way let him eat from the bread and let him drink from the cup.
29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
29
For the one who eats and drinks, [if he] does not recognize the body, eats and drinks judgment against himself.
30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
30
Because of this, many [are] weak and sick among you, and quite a few {have died}.
31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
31
But if we were evaluating ourselves, we would not be judged.
32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
32
But [if we] are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined, in order that we will not be condemned with the world.
33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.
33
So then, my brothers, [when you] come together in order to eat [the Lord's supper], wait for one another.
34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
34
If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And I will give directions about the remaining [matters] whenever I come.
