1 Corinthians 11

New International Version NIV

1 Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.

2 I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you.

3 But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

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

5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved.

6 For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.

7 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 did not come from woman, but woman from man;

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

10 It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels.

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

12 For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.

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

14 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,

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

16 If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.

17 In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good.

18 In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it.

19 No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God’s approval.

20 So then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat,

21 for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers. As a result, one person remains hungry and another gets drunk.

22 Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God by humiliating those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? Certainly not in this matter!

23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night 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, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”

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

27 So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.

28 Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup.

29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.

30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.

31 But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment.

32 Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be finally condemned with the world.

33 So then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, you should all eat together.

34 Anyone who is hungry should eat something at home, so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment. And when I come I will give further directions.

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.
