FOLLOW MY EXAMPLE, AS I FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE OF CHRIST.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:2
I PRAISE YOU FOR REMEMBERING ME IN EVERYTHING AND FOR HOLDING TO THE TRADITIONS JUST AS I PASSED THEM ON TO YOU.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:3
BUT I WANT YOU TO REALIZE THAT THE HEAD OF EVERY MAN IS CHRIST, AND THE HEAD OF THE WOMAN IS MAN, AND THE HEAD OF CHRIST IS GOD.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:4
EVERY MAN WHO PRAYS OR PROPHESIES WITH HIS HEAD COVERED DISHONORS HIS HEAD.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:5
BUT EVERY WOMAN WHO PRAYS OR PROPHESIES WITH HER HEAD UNCOVERED DISHONORS HER HEAD--IT IS THE SAME AS HAVING HER HEAD SHAVED.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:6
FOR IF A WOMAN DOES NOT COVER HER HEAD, SHE MIGHT AS WELL HAVE HER HAIR CUT OFF; BUT IF IT IS A DISGRACE FOR A WOMAN TO HAVE HER HAIR CUT OFF OR HER HEAD SHAVED, THEN SHE SHOULD COVER HER HEAD.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:7
A MAN OUGHT NOT TO COVER HIS HEAD, SINCE HE IS THE IMAGE AND GLORY OF GOD; BUT WOMAN IS THE GLORY OF MAN.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:8
FOR MAN DID NOT COME FROM WOMAN, BUT WOMAN FROM MAN;
1 CORINTHIANS 11:9
NEITHER WAS MAN CREATED FOR WOMAN, BUT WOMAN FOR MAN.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:10
IT IS FOR THIS REASON THAT A WOMAN OUGHT TO HAVE AUTHORITY OVER HER OWN HEAD, BECAUSE OF THE ANGELS.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:11
NEVERTHELESS, IN THE LORD WOMAN IS NOT INDEPENDENT OF MAN, NOR IS MAN INDEPENDENT OF WOMAN.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:12
FOR AS WOMAN CAME FROM MAN, SO ALSO MAN IS BORN OF WOMAN. BUT EVERYTHING COMES FROM GOD.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:13
JUDGE FOR YOURSELVES: IS IT PROPER FOR A WOMAN TO PRAY TO GOD WITH HER HEAD UNCOVERED?
1 CORINTHIANS 11:14
DOES NOT THE VERY NATURE OF THINGS TEACH YOU THAT IF A MAN HAS LONG HAIR, IT IS A DISGRACE TO HIM,
1 CORINTHIANS 11:15
BUT THAT IF A WOMAN HAS LONG HAIR, IT IS HER GLORY? FOR LONG HAIR IS GIVEN TO HER AS A COVERING.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:16
IF ANYONE WANTS TO BE CONTENTIOUS ABOUT THIS, WE HAVE NO OTHER PRACTICE--NOR DO THE CHURCHES OF GOD.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:17
IN THE FOLLOWING DIRECTIVES I HAVE NO PRAISE FOR YOU, FOR YOUR MEETINGS DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:18
IN THE FIRST PLACE, I HEAR THAT WHEN YOU COME TOGETHER AS A CHURCH, THERE ARE DIVISIONS AMONG YOU, AND TO SOME EXTENT I BELIEVE IT.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:19
NO DOUBT THERE HAVE TO BE DIFFERENCES AMONG YOU TO SHOW WHICH OF YOU HAVE GOD'S APPROVAL.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:20
SO THEN, WHEN YOU COME TOGETHER, IT IS NOT THE LORD'S SUPPER YOU EAT,
1 CORINTHIANS 11:21
FOR WHEN YOU ARE EATING, SOME OF YOU GO AHEAD WITH YOUR OWN PRIVATE SUPPERS. AS A RESULT, ONE PERSON REMAINS HUNGRY AND ANOTHER GETS DRUNK.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:22
DON'T YOU HAVE HOMES TO EAT AND DRINK IN? OR DO YOU DESPISE THE CHURCH OF GOD BY HUMILIATING THOSE WHO HAVE NOTHING? WHAT SHALL I SAY TO YOU? SHALL I PRAISE YOU? CERTAINLY NOT IN THIS MATTER!
1 CORINTHIANS 11:23
FOR I RECEIVED FROM THE LORD WHAT I ALSO PASSED ON TO YOU: THE LORD JESUS, ON THE NIGHT HE WAS BETRAYED, TOOK BREAD,
1 CORINTHIANS 11:24
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.'
1 CORINTHIANS 11:25
IN THE SAME WAY, AFTER SUPPER HE TOOK THE CUP, SAYING, 'THIS CUP IS THE NEW COVENANT IN MY BLOOD; DO THIS, WHENEVER YOU DRINK IT, IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME.'
1 CORINTHIANS 11:26
FOR WHENEVER YOU EAT THIS BREAD AND DRINK THIS CUP, YOU PROCLAIM THE LORD'S DEATH UNTIL HE COMES.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:27
SO THEN, 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.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:28
EVERYONE OUGHT TO EXAMINE THEMSELVES BEFORE THEY EAT OF THE BREAD AND DRINK FROM THE CUP.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:29
FOR THOSE WHO EAT AND DRINK WITHOUT DISCERNING THE BODY OF CHRIST EAT AND DRINK JUDGMENT ON THEMSELVES.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:30
THAT IS WHY MANY AMONG YOU ARE WEAK AND SICK, AND A NUMBER OF YOU HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:31
BUT IF WE WERE MORE DISCERNING WITH REGARD TO OURSELVES, WE WOULD NOT COME UNDER SUCH JUDGMENT.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:32
NEVERTHELESS, WHEN WE ARE JUDGED IN THIS WAY BY THE LORD, WE ARE BEING DISCIPLINED SO THAT WE WILL NOT BE FINALLY CONDEMNED WITH THE WORLD.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:33
SO THEN, MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, WHEN YOU GATHER TO EAT, YOU SHOULD ALL EAT TOGETHER.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:34
Anyone who is hungry should eat something at home, so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment. And when I come I will give further directions.
