The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians

⭑ Literal Standard Version :: World English Bible Catholic ⭑

- Kapitel 11 -

Become followers of me, as I also [am] of Christ.

And I praise you, brothers, that in all things you remember me, and according as I delivered to you, you keep the deliverances,

and I wish you to know that the Christ is the head of every man, and the head of a woman is the husband, and the head of Christ is God.

Every man praying or prophesying, having the head covered, dishonors his head,

and every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered, dishonors her own head, for it is one and the same thing with her being shaven,

for if a woman is not covered—then let her be shorn, and if [it is] a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven—let her be covered;

for a man, indeed, ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God, and a woman is the glory of a man,

for a man is not of a woman, but a woman [is] of a man,

for also was a man not created because of the woman, but a woman because of the man;

because of this the woman ought to have [a token of] authority on the head, because of the messengers;

but neither [is] a man apart from a woman, nor a woman apart from a man, in the LORD,

for as the woman [is] of the man, so also the man [is] through the woman, and all the things [are] of God.

Judge in your own selves: is it seemly for a woman to pray to God uncovered?

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

And a woman, if she has long hair, it is a glory to her, because the hair has been given to her instead of a covering;

and if anyone thinks to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the assemblies of God.

Sharing in the Lord’s Supper

(Matthew 26:20–30; Mark 14:17–26; Luke 22:14–23)

And declaring this, I give no praise, because you do not come together for the better, but for the worse;

for first, indeed, coming together in an assembly, I hear of divisions being among you, and I partly believe [it],

for it is also necessary for sects to be among you, that those approved may become visible among you;

you, then, coming together at the same place—it is not to eat the LORD’s Dinner;

for each takes his own dinner before in the eating, and one is hungry, and another is drunk;

why, do you not have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise the Assembly of God, and shame those not having? What may I say to you? Will I praise you in this? I do not praise!

For I received from the LORD that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was delivered up, took bread,

and having given thanks, He broke, and said, “Take, eat, this is My body that is being broken for you; do this—to the remembrance of Me.”

In like manner also the cup after the supping, saying, “This cup is the New Covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you may drink [it]—to the remembrance of Me”;

for as often as you may eat this bread, and may drink this cup, you show forth the death of the LORD—until He may come;

so that whoever may eat this bread or may drink the cup of the LORD unworthily, he will be guilty of the body and blood of the LORD:

and let a man be proving himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and let him drink of the cup;

for he who is eating and drinking unworthily, he eats and drinks judgment to himself—not discerning the body of the LORD.

Because of this many [are] weak and sickly among you, and many sleep;

for if we were discerning ourselves, we would not be being judged,

and being judged by the LORD, we are disciplined, that we may not be condemned with the world;

so then, my brothers, coming together to eat, wait for one another;

and if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, that you may not come together to judgment; and the rest, whenever I may come, I will arrange.

Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.

Now I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.

But I would have you know that the head

(a)

of every man is Christ, and the head

(b)

of the woman is man, and the head

(c)

of Christ is God.

Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.

But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.

For if a woman is not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or be shaved, let her be covered.

For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.

For man is not from woman, but woman from man;

for man wasn’t created for the woman, but woman for the man.

For this cause the woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels.

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

For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.

Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?

Doesn’t even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?

But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given to her for a covering.

But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God’s assemblies.

Sharing in the Lord’s Supper

(Matthew 26:20–30; Mark 14:17–26; Luke 22:14–23)

But in giving you this command I don’t praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist among you, and I partly believe it.

For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.

When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat.

For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunken.

What, don’t you have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise God’s assembly and put them to shame who don’t have enough? What shall I tell you? Shall I praise you? In this I don’t praise you.

For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread.

When he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “Take, eat. This is my body, which is broken for you. Do this in memory of me.”

In the same way he also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink, in memory of me.”

For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord’s cup in a way unworthy of the Lord will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy way eats and drinks judgment to himself if he doesn’t discern the Lord’s body.

For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.

For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn’t be judged.

But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.
