# 1 Corinthians 11

*The woman subject to man; man subject to Christ; ChHst subject to God— — The sacrament treated of.*

**1** Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
**2** Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
**3** 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.
**4** Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
**5** 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.
**6** 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.
**7** 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.
**8** For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
**9** Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
**10** For this cause ought the woman to have a covering on her head because of the angels.
**11** Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
**12** For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
**13** Judge in yourselves; is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
**14** Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
**15** But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given her for a covering.
**16** But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
**17** Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.
**18** For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
**19** For there must be also divisions among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
**20** When ye come together unto one place, is it not to eat the Lord's supper?
**21** But in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
**22** 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.
**23** 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;
**24** 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.
**25** 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.
**26** For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he come.
**27** 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.
**28** But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
**29** For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh condemnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
**30** For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
**31** For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
**32** But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
**33** Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.
**34** 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.
