1 Corinthians 11

1 Be ye imitators of me, as I am of the Messiah.

Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Messiah.

2 Moreover I commend you, my Brethren, that in all things ye are mindful of me, and that ye hold fast the precepts as I delivered them to you.

Now I praise you, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.

3 And I would have you know, that the head of every man is the Messiah, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of the Messiah is God.

But I would have you know that the head of every man is Messiah, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Messiah is God.

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

Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.

5 And every woman, who prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered, dishonoreth her head; for she is on a level with her whose head is shaven.

But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.

6 For if a woman be not covered, let her also be shorn; but if it be shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.

7 The man, indeed, ought not to cover his head, because he is the likeness and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.

8 For the man was not from the woman, but the woman from the man.

For man is not from woman, but woman from man;

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

for neither was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.

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

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

11 Nevertheless, the man is not without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in our Lord.

Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord.

12 For as the woman was from the man, so the man is by the woman; and every thing is from God.

For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.

13 Judge for yourselves, among yourselves; is it becoming, that a woman pray to God with her head uncovered?

Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?

14 Doth not nature teach you, that in a man, if his hair groweth long, it is a reproach to him?

Doesn't even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?

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

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

16 But if any one is contentious about these things, we on our part have no such custom, nor hath the church of God.

But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God's congregations.

17 This which I now enjoin, is not as praising you; for ye have not made progress, but have deteriorated.

But in giving you this command, I do not praise you, that you come together not for the better but for the worse.

18 Because, first; when ye assemble in the church, there are, I hear, divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

For first of all, when you come together in the congregation, I hear that divisions exist among you, and I partly believe it.

19 For there are to be contentions among you, that the approved among you may be known.

For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.

20 When therefore ye come together, ye eat and drink, not as is becoming on the day of our Lord.

When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat.

21 But, one and another proceedeth to eat his own supper; and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunk.

22 What! have ye no houses in which ye can eat and drink? Or, despise ye the church of God, and shame them who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I praise you not.

What, do you not have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise God's congregation, and put them to shame who do not have? What shall I tell you? Shall I praise you? In this I do not praise you.

23 For I have received from our Lord, that which I imparted to you; that our Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,

For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Yeshua on the night in which he was betrayed took bread.

24 and blessed, and brake it, and said: " Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for your sakes: thus do ye, in remembrance of me."

When he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body, which is for you. Do this in memory of me."

25 So, after they had supped, he gave also the cup, and said: " This cup is the new testament in my blood: thus do ye, as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me."

In the same way he also took the cup, after the meal, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink, in memory of me."

26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye commemorate the death of our Lord, until his advent.

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

27 He therefore, who eateth of the bread of the Lord, and drinketh of his cup, and is not worthy of it, is guilty of the blood of the Lord, and of his body.

Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord's cup in a manner unworthy will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

28 For this reason, a man should examine himself, and then eat of this bread, and drink of this cup:

But let a person examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

29 for, whoever eateth and drinketh of it, while he is unworthy, eateth and drinketh condemnation on himself, by not discerning the body of the Lord.

For he who eats and drinks eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he does not discern the body.

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

For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.

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

For if we discerned ourselves, we would not be judged.

32 But when we are judged by our Lord, we are really chastised, that we may not be condemned with the world.

But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

33 Wherefore, my Brethren, when ye assemble to eat, wait ye one for another.

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

34 And let him who is hungry, eat at home; that ye may assemble, not for condemnation. And as to other things, I will give you directions when I come.

But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.
