1 Corinthians 11 (WEBP)

[1] Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.
[2] Now I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even 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 man, and the head of Christ is God.
[4] Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.
[5] 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.
[6] 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.
[7] 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.
[8] For man is not from woman, but woman from man;
[9] for man wasn’t created for the woman, but woman for the man.
[10] For this cause the woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels.
[11] Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord.
[12] For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.
[13] Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?
[14] Doesn’t 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 any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God’s assemblies.
[17] But in giving you this command I don’t praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.
[18] For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist among you, and I partly believe it.
[19] For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.
[20] When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat.
[21] For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunken.
[22] 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.
[23] 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.
[24] 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.”
[25] 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.”
[26] For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
[27] 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.
[28] But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
[29] 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.
[30] For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.
[31] For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn’t be judged.
[32] But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
[33] Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
[34] 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.

King James w/Strong’s #s

1 Corinthians 11 (KJVS)

[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 () power 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 heresies among you , that they which are approved may be made () manifest among you .
[20] When ye come together () therefore into one place , [this] is () not to eat () the Lord’s supper .
[21] For 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 shew () 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 () damnation 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 ().

Young’s Literal Translation

1 Corinthians 11 (YLT)

[1] Followers of me become ye, as I also am of Christ.
[2] And I praise you, brethren, that in all things ye remember me, and according as I did deliver to you, the deliverances ye keep,
[3] and I wish you to know that of every man the head is the Christ, and the head of a woman is the husband, and the head of Christ is God.
[4] Every man praying or prophesying, having the head covered, doth dishonour his head,
[5] and every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered, doth dishonour her own head, for it is one and the same thing with her being shaven,
[6] 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;
[7] 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,
[8] for a man is not of a woman, but a woman is of a man,
[9] for a man also was not created because of the woman, but a woman because of the man;
[10] because of this the woman ought to have a token of authority upon the head, because of the messengers;
[11] but neither is a man apart from a woman, nor a woman apart from a man, in the Lord,
[12] for as the woman is of the man, so also the man is through the woman, and the all things are of God.
[13] In your own selves judge ye; is it seemly for a woman uncovered to pray to God?
[14] doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man indeed have long hair, a dishonour it is to him?
[15] and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her;
[16] and if any one doth think to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the assemblies of God.
[17] And this declaring, I give no praise, because not for the better, but for the worse ye come together;
[18] for first, indeed, ye coming together in an assembly, I hear of divisions being among you, and partly I believe it,
[19] for it behoveth sects also to be among you, that those approved may become manifest among you;
[20] ye, then, coming together at the same place-it is not to eat the Lord’s supper;
[21] for each his own supper doth take before in the eating, and one is hungry, and another is drunk;
[22] why, have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or the assembly of God do ye despise, and shame those not having? what may I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I do not praise!
[23] For I-I received from the Lord that which also I did deliver to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread,
[24] and having given thanks, he brake, and said, ‘Take ye, eat ye, this is my body, that for you is being broken; this do ye-to the remembrance of me.’
[25] In like manner also the cup after the supping, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood; this do ye, as often as ye may drink it-to the remembrance of me;’
[26] for as often as ye may eat this bread, and this cup may drink, the death of the Lord ye do shew forth-till he may come;
[27] so that whoever may eat this bread or may drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, guilty he shall be of the body and blood of the Lord:
[28] and let a man be proving himself, and so of the bread let him eat, and of the cup let him drink;
[29] for he who is eating and drinking unworthily, judgment to himself he doth eat and drink-not discerning the body of the Lord.
[30] Because of this, among you many are weak and sickly, and sleep do many;
[31] for if ourselves we were discerning, we would not be being judged,
[32] and being judged by the Lord, we are chastened, that with the world we may not be condemned;
[33] so then, my brethren, coming together to eat, for one another wait ye;
[34] and if any one is hungry, at home let him eat, that to judgment ye may not come together; and the rest, whenever I may come, I shall arrange.
