1Corinthians:11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Be ye followers of me ,
even as I also am of Christ .
*
Now I praise you ,
brethren ,
that ye remember me in all things ,
and keep the ordinances ,
as I delivered them to you .
*
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 .
*
Every man praying or prophesying ,
having his head covered ,
dishonoureth his head .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
For the man is not of the woman ;
but the woman of the man .
*
Neither was the man created for the woman ;
but the woman for the man .
*
For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels .
*
Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman ,
neither the woman without the man ,
in the Lord .
*
For as the woman is of the man ,
even so is the man also by the woman ;
but all things of God .
*
Judge in yourselves :
is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered ?
*
Doth not even nature itself teach you ,
that ,
if a man have long hair ,
it is a shame unto him ?
*
But if a woman have long hair ,
it is a glory to her :
for her hair is given her for a covering .
*
But if any man seem to be contentious ,
we have no such custom ,
neither the churches of God .
*
Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not ,
that ye come together not for the better ,
but for the worse .
*
For first of all ,
when ye come together in the church ,
I hear that there be divisions among you ;
and I partly believe it .
*
For there must be also heresies among you ,
that they which are approved may be made manifest among you .
*
When ye come together therefore into one place ,
this is not to eat the Lord '
s supper .
*
For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper :
and one is hungry ,
and another is drunken .
*
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 .
*
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 :
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
For as often as ye eat this bread ,
and drink this cup ,
ye do shew the Lord '
s death till he come .
*
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 .
*
But let a man examine himself ,
and so let him eat of that bread ,
and drink of that cup .
*
For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily ,
eateth and drinketh damnation to himself ,
not discerning the Lord '
s body .
*
For this cause many are weak and sickly among you ,
and many sleep .
*
For if we would judge ourselves ,
we should not be judged .
*
But when we are judged ,
we are chastened of the Lord ,
that we should not be condemned with the world .
*
Wherefore ,
my brethren ,
when ye come together to eat ,
tarry one for another .
*
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 .
