NASB Bible

1 Corinthians 11

Christian Order

1

 aBe imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.

2

Now  aI praise you because you  bremember me in everything and  chold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you.

3

But I want you to understand that  1Christ is the  ahead of every man, and  bthe man is the head of a woman, and God is the  chead of  1Christ.

4

Every man who has something on his head while praying or  aprophesying disgraces his head.

5

But every  awoman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for she is one and the same as the woman  1whose head is  bshaved.

6

For if a woman does not cover  1her head, let her also  2have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to  2have her hair cut off or  1her head shaved, let her cover  1her head.

7

For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the  aimage and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

8

For  aman  1does not originate from woman, but woman from man;

9

for indeed man was not created for the woman's sake, but  awoman for the man's sake.

10

Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

11

However, in the Lord, neither is woman  1independent of man, nor is man  1independent of woman.

12

For as the woman  1originates from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman; and  aall things  2originate  bfrom God.

13

 aJudge  1for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

14

Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him,

15

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 one is inclined to be contentious,  awe have no  1other practice, nor have  bthe churches of God.

17

But in giving this instruction,  aI do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

18

For, in the first place, when you come together  1as a church, I hear that  2 adivisions exist among you; and in part I believe it.

19

For there  amust also be factions among you,  bso that those who are approved may become  1evident among you.

20

Therefore when you meet together, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper,

21

for in your eating each one takes his own supper first; and one is hungry and  aanother is drunk.

22

What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the  achurch of God and  bshame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall  cI praise you? In this I will not praise you.

The Lord's Supper

23

For  aI received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that  bthe Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread;

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."

25

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

26

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

27

Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be  aguilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

28

But a man must  aexamine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

29

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

30

For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number  1 asleep.

31

But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged.

32

But when we are judged, we are  adisciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with  bthe world.

33

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

34

If anyone is  ahungry, let him eat  bat home, so that you will not come together for judgment. The remaining matters I will  carrange  dwhen I come.
