1 Corinthians 11:1-34 KJ21
[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? [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.
