NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

1 Corinthians 11

Christian Order

1

 aBe imitatorsg3402 of me, justg2531a as I alsog2532 am of Christg5547.

2

Nowg1161  aI praiseg1867 you becauseg3754 you  brememberg3403 me in everythingg3956 and  choldg2722 firmlyg2722 to the traditionsg3862, justg2531a as I deliveredg3860 them to you.

3

But I wantg2309 you to understandg3609a that  1Christg5547 is the  aheadg2776 of everyg3956 mang435, and  bthe mang435 is the headg2776 of a womang1135, and Godg2316 is the  cheadg2776 of  1Christg5547.

4

Everyg3956 mang435 who hasg2192 something on his headg2776 while prayingg4336 org2228  aprophesyingg4395 disgracesg2617b his headg2776.

5

But everyg3956  awomang1135 who has her headg2776 uncoveredg177 while prayingg4336 org2228 prophesyingg4395 disgracesg2617b her headg2776, for she is oneg1520 and the sameg846 as the womang1135  1whose head is  bshavedg3587b.

6

For ifg1487 a womang1135 does not coverg2619  1her head, let her alsog2532  2have her hairg2751 cutg2751 offg2751; but ifg1487 it is disgracefulg150 for a womang1135 to  2have her hairg2751 cutg2751 offg2751 org2228  1her head shavedg3587a, let her coverg2619  1her head.

7

For a mang435 oughtg3784 not to have his headg2776 coveredg2619, since he is the  aimageg1504 and gloryg1391 of Godg2316; but the womang1135 is the gloryg1391 of mang435.

8

For  amang435  1does not originateg1510 from womang1135, but womang1135 from mang435;

9

for indeedg2532 mang435 was not createdg2936 for the woman'sg1135 sakeg1223, but  awomang1135 for the man'sg435 sakeg1223.

10

Thereforeg1223g3778 the womang1135 oughtg3784 to haveg2192 a symbol of authorityg1849 on her headg2776, becauseg1223 of the angelsg32a.

11

Howeverg4133, in the Lordg2962, neitherg3777 is womang1135  1independentg5565 of mang435, norg3777 is mang435  1independentg5565 of womang1135.

12

For as the womang1135  1originates from the mang435, sog3779 alsog2532 the mang435 has his birth throughg1223 the womang1135; and  aallg3956 thingsg3956  2originate  bfrom Godg2316.

13

 aJudgeg2919  1for yourselvesg4771g846: is it properg4241 for a womang1135 to prayg4336 to Godg2316 with her head uncoveredg177?

14

Does not eveng3761 natureg5449 itselfg846 teachg1321 you that ifg1437 a mang435 hasg2863 longg2863 hairg2863, it is a dishonorg819 to him,

15

but ifg1437 a womang1135 hasg2863 longg2863 hairg2863, it is a gloryg1391 to her? For her hairg2864 is giveng1325 to her for a coveringg4018.

16

But ifg1487 oneg5100 is inclinedg1380 to be contentiousg5380,  awe haveg2192 nog3756  1otherg5108 practiceg4914, norg3761 have  bthe churchesg1577 of Godg2316.

17

But in givingg3853 thisg3778 instructiong3853,  aI do not praiseg1867 you, becauseg3754 you comeg4905 togetherg4905 not for the betterg2909 but for the worseg2269b.

18

For, in the firstg4413 place, when you comeg4905 togetherg4905  1as a churchg1577, I hearg191 that  2 adivisionsg4978 existg5225 amongg1722 you; and in partg3313 I believeg4100 it.

19

For there  amustg1163 alsog2532 be factionsg139 amongg1722 you,  bsog2443 that thoseg3588 who are approvedg1384 may becomeg1096  1evidentg5318 amongg1722 you.

20

Thereforeg3767 when you meetg4905 togetherg1909g3588g846, it is not to eatg2068 the Lord'sg2960 Supperg1173,

21

for in your eatingg2068 eachg1538 oneg1538 takesg4301 his owng2398 supperg1173 firstg4301; and oneg3739g3303a is hungryg3983 and  aanotherg3739g1161 is drunkg3184.

22

Whatg1063! Do you not haveg2192 housesg3614 in which to eatg2068 and drinkg4095? Org2228 do you despiseg2706 the  achurchg1577 of Godg2316 and  bshameg2617b thoseg3588 who haveg2192 nothingg3361? Whatg5101 shall I sayg3004 to you? Shall  cI praiseg1867 you? In thisg3778 I will not praiseg1867 you.

The Lord's Supper

23

For  aI receivedg3880 from the Lordg2962 that whichg3739 I alsog2532 deliveredg3860 to you, that  bthe Lordg2962 Jesusg2424 in the nightg3571 in whichg3739 He was betrayedg3860 tookg2983 breadg740;

24

and when He had giveng2168 thanksg2168, He brokeg2806 it and saidg3004, "Thisg3778 is My bodyg4983, which is for you; dog4160 thisg3778 in remembranceg364 of Me."

25

In the sameg5615 wayg5615 He took  athe cupg4221 alsog2532 afterg3326 supperg1172, sayingg3004, "Thisg3778 cupg4221 is the  bnewg2537 covenantg1242 in My bloodg129; dog4160 thisg3778, as ofteng3740 as you drinkg4095 it, in remembranceg364 of Me."

26

For as ofteng3740 as you eatg2068 thisg3778 breadg740 and drinkg4095 the cupg4221, you proclaimg2605 the Lord'sg2962 deathg2288  auntilg891 He comesg2064.

27

Thereforeg5620 whoeverg3739g302 eatsg2068 the breadg740 org2228 drinksg4095 the cupg4221 of the Lordg2962 in an unworthyg371 mannerg371, shall be  aguiltyg1777 of the bodyg4983 and the bloodg129 of the Lordg2962.

28

But a mang444 must  aexamineg1381a himselfg1438, and in sog3779 doing he is to eatg2068 of the breadg740 and drinkg4095 of the cupg4221.

29

For he who eatsg2068 and drinksg4095, eatsg2068 and drinksg4095 judgmentg2917 to himselfg1438 if he does not judgeg1252 the bodyg4983 rightly.

30

For thisg3778 reasong1223 manyg4183 amongg1722 you are weakg772 and sickg732, and a numberg2425  1 asleepg2837.

31

But ifg1487 we judgedg1252 ourselvesg1438 rightly, we would not be judgedg2919.

32

But when we are judgedg2919, we are  adisciplinedg3811 by the Lordg2962 sog2443 that we will not be condemnedg2632 alongg4862 with  bthe worldg2889.

33

Sog5620 theng5620, my brethreng80, when you comeg4905 togetherg4905 to eatg2068, waitg1551 for oneg240 anotherg240.

34

Ifg1487 anyoneg5100 is  ahungryg3983, let him eatg2068  bat homeg3624, sog2443 that you will not comeg4905 togetherg4905 for judgmentg2917. The remainingg3062 matters I will  carrangeg1299  dwheng5613 I comeg2064.
