1 Corinthians 11

1 Imitators of me do be even as I myself also [am] I myself also [am] of Christ.

You are to imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.

2 I commend now you (brothers *k) that in all things me you have remembered, and even as I delivered to you the teachings you are keeping.

Now I commend you for remembering me in everything and for maintaining the traditions, just as I passed them on to you.

3 I want however you to know that of every man the head Christ is, [the] head now of [the] woman [is] the man; [the] head now of Christ God.

But I want you to understand 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 praying or prophesying [anything] on [his] head having he dishonors the head of him.

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

5 Every now woman praying or prophesying uncovered with the head dishonors the head (of her; *N+kO) one for it is and the same with which shaven.

And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for it is just as if her head were shaved.

6 If for not covers her head a woman, also she should be shorn; If [it is] now disgraceful to a woman to be shorn or to be shaven, she should cover her head.

If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off. And if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.

7 A man indeed for not ought to cover the head image and glory of God being; (the *no) woman however [the] glory of man is;

A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

8 Not for is man of woman but woman of man;

For man did not come from woman, but woman from man.

9 Truly for not was created man on account of the woman but woman on account of the man;

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

10 Because of this ought the woman authority to have on the head on account of the angels.

For this reason a woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.

11 However neither [is] woman without man nor man without woman in [the] Lord;

In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.

12 Just as for the woman of the man [is] so also the man through the woman [is], the however all things of God.

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

13 In you yourselves do judge: Becoming is it for a woman revealed to God to pray?

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

14 (or *K) Not even nature itself does teach you that a man indeed if he shall have long hair, a dishonor to him it is,

Doesn’t nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,

15 a woman however if she shall have long hair, glory to her it is? For the long hair instead of a covering has been given to her;

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

16 If now anyone is inclined contentious to be, we ourselves such custom no [other] have nor the churches of God.

If anyone is inclined to dispute this, we have no other practice, nor do the churches of God.

17 In this now (instructing *NK+o) not I do praise because not for the better but for the (worse *N+kO) you come together.

In the following instructions I have no praise to offer, because your gatherings do more harm than good.

18 First indeed for coming together you in an assembly I hear divisions among you there to be, and in part it I believe;

First of all, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.

19 It behooves for also factions among you there to be, so that (also *no) the approved evident may become among you.

And indeed, there must be differences among you to show which of you are approved.

20 Coming therefore of you together in one place not it is [the] Lord’s supper to eat;

Now then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat.

21 One for [their] own supper takes first in eating, and this [one] indeed is hungry, that [one] however is drunken.

For as you eat, each of you goes ahead without sharing his meal. While one remains hungry, another gets drunk.

22 Surely not indeed houses surely you have in which to eat and to drink? Or the church of God do you despise and put to shame those nothing having? What shall I say to you shall I praise you in this? Not I praise [you]!

Don’t you have your own homes in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What can I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? No, I will not!

23 I myself for received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread,

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 having given thanks He broke [it] and said (do take *KO) (do eat: *K) This of Me is the body which [is] for you (being broken; *K) this do perform in of Me remembrance.

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 Likewise also the cup after having supped saying; This cup the new covenant is in My blood; this do perform, as often as (when *N+kO) you shall drink [it], in of Me remembrance.

In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

26 As often as for (when *N+kO) you shall eat bread this and cup (this *K) may drink, the death of the Lord you proclaim until that (when *k) He may come.

For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.

27 Therefore who[ever] maybe may eat bread (this *K) or may drink the cup of the Lord unworthily (of the-Lord *O) guilty will be of the body and of the blood of the Lord.

Therefore, 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 should examine however a man himself, and in this manner of the bread he should eat and of the cup he should drink;

Each one must examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup.

29 The [one] for eating and drinking (unworthily *K) judgment on himself he eats and he drinks not discerning the body (of the *k) (Lord. *K)

For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.

30 Because of this among you many [are] weak and sick, and are fallen asleep many.

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

31 If (for *N+kO) ourselves we were judging, not then would we were come under judgment;

Now if we judged ourselves properly, we would not come under judgment.

32 Being judged however by (the *no) Lord we are disciplined, so that not with the world we may be condemned.

But when we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world.

33 So then, brothers of mine, coming together in order to eat one another do wait for;

So, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

34 If (now *k) anyone is hungry, at home he should eat, so that not for judgment you may come together. And the other things as soon as when I may come I will set in order.

If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you come together it will not result in judgment. And when I come, I will give instructions about the remaining matters.
