1 Corinthians 11

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 Be ye followers of me, even 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 have delivered them to you.

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.

4 Every man who prayeth or prophesieth, having his head covered, dishonoreth his head.

5 But every woman who prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoreth her head, for that is one and the same as if she were shaven.

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.

7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, inasmuch as 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.

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

10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head, because of the angels.

11 Nevertheless, neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in the Lord.

12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things are of God.

13 Judge for yourselves: Is it comely that a woman should pray unto God uncovered?Œ

14 Doth not even nature itself teach you that if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given her for a covering.

16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

17 Now in this I declare unto you that I praise you not: that ye 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 are divisions among you, and I partly believe it.

19 For there must be also heresies among you, that those who are approved may be made manifest among you.

20 When ye therefore come together into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's Supper.

21 For in eating, every one taketh his own supper ahead of another, and one is hungry and another is drunken.

22 What? Have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God, and shame those who have not? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I praise you not!

23 For I have received from the Lord that which also I delivered unto you: that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which He was betrayed, took bread;

24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of Me."

25 In 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."

26 For as often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death until He come.

27 Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread and drink this cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

28 But let a man examine himself, and then let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup.

29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

32 But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

33 Therefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for 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.

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.
