1 Corinthians 11

1 Be yee followers of mee, euen as I am of Christ.

Be ye followers of me, even as I also [am] of Christ.

2 Now brethren, I commend you, that ye remember all my things, and keepe the ordinances, as I deliuered them to you.

Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered [them] to you.

3 But I wil that ye know, that Christ is the head of euery man: and the man is the womans head: and God is Christs head.

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 Euery man praying or prophecying hauing any thing on his head, dishonoureth his head.

Every man praying or prophesying, having [his] head covered, dishonoureth his head.

5 But euery woman that prayeth or prophecieth bare headed, dishonoureth her head: for it is euen one very thing, as though she were shauen.

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.

6 Therefore if the woman be not couered, let her also be shorne: and if it be shame for a woman to be shorne or shauen, let her be couered.

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 ought not to couer his head: for as much as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

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.

8 For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man.

For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.

9 For the man was not created for the womans sake: but the woman for the mans sake.

Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

10 Therefore ought the woman to haue power on her head, because of the Angels.

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

11 Neuertheles, neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man in the Lord.

Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

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

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

13 Iudge in your selues, Is it comely that a woman pray vnto God vncouered?

Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?

14 Doeth not nature it selfe teach you, that if a man haue long heare, it is a shame vnto him?

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 haue long heare, it is a prayse vnto her: for her heare is giuen her for a couering.

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 lust to be contentious, we haue no such custome, neither the Churches of God.

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

17 Nowe in this that I declare, I prayse you not, that ye come together, not with profite, but with hurt.

Now in this that I declare [unto you] 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 heare that there are dissentions among you: and I beleeue it to be true in some part.

For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

19 For there must be heresies euen among you, that they which are approoued among you, might be knowen.

For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

20 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eate the Lords Supper.

When ye come together therefore into one place, [this] is not to eat the Lord’s supper.

21 For euery man when they should eate, taketh his owne supper afore, and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

For in eating every one taketh before [other] his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

22 Haue ye not houses to eate and to drinke in? despise ye the Church of God, and shame them that haue not? what shall I say to you? shall I prayse you in this? I prayse you not.

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.

23 For I haue receiued of the Lord that which I also haue deliuered vnto you, to wit, That the Lord Iesus in the night when he was betrayed, tooke bread:

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:

24 And when hee had giuen thankes, hee brake it, and sayde, Take, eate: this is my body, which is broken for you: this doe ye in remembrance of me.

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.

25 After the same maner also he tooke the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the Newe Testament in my blood: this doe as oft as ye drinke it, in remembrance of me.

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.

26 For as often as ye shall eate this bread, and drinke this cup, ye shewe the Lords death till hee come.

For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.

27 Wherefore, whosoeuer shall eate this bread, and drinke the cup of the Lord vnworthily, shall be guiltie of the body and blood of the Lord.

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.

28 Let euery man therefore examine himselfe, and so let him eate of this bread, and drinke of this cup.

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of [that] bread, and drink of [that] cup.

29 For he that eateth and drinketh vnworthily, eateth and drinketh his owne damnation, because he discerneth not the Lords body.

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 weake, and sicke among you, and many sleepe.

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

31 For if we would iudge our selues, we should not be iudged.

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

32 But when we are iudged, we are chastened of the Lord, because we should not be condemned with the world.

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

33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eate, tary one for another.

Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.

34 And if any man be hungry, let him eate at home, that ye come not together vnto condemnation. Other things will I set in order when I come.

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.
