1 Corinthians 11

New Revised Standard NRS

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

2 I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions just as I handed them on to you.

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

4 Any man who prays or prophesies with something on his head disgraces his head,

5 but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled disgraces her head—it is one and the same thing as having her head shaved.

6 For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, she should wear a veil.

7 For a man ought not to have his head veiled, since he is the image and reflection of God; but woman is the reflection of man.

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

9 Neither was man created for the sake of woman, but woman for the sake of man.

10 For this reason a woman 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 or man independent of woman.

12 For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman; but all things come from God.

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

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

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

16 But if anyone is disposed to be contentious—we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.

17 Now 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, to begin with, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and to some extent I believe it.

19 Indeed, there have to be factions among you, for only so will it become clear who among you are genuine.

20 When you come together, it is not really to eat the Lord's supper.

21 For when the time comes to eat, each of you goes ahead with your own supper, and one goes hungry and another becomes drunk.

22 What! Do you not have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you show contempt for the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What should I say to you? Should I commend you? In this matter I do not commend you!

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

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

25 In the same way he took the cup also, 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 answerable for the body and blood of the Lord.

28 Examine yourselves, and only then eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

29 For all who eat and drink without discerning the body, eat and drink judgment against themselves.

30 For this reason many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.

31 But if we judged ourselves, 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 and sisters, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

34 If you are hungry, eat at home, so that when you come together, it will not be for your condemnation. About the other things I will give instructions when I come.

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.
