1 Corinthians 11 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Be imitators^G3402 of me, just^G2531 as I also^G2532 am of Christ^G5547.

Head Coverings

Now^G1161 I praise^G1867 you because^G3754 you remember^G3403 me in everything^G3956 and hold^G2722 firmly^G2722 to^G2722 the traditions^G3862, just^G2531 as I delivered^G3860 them to you.

1Co 11:3

1Co 11:3But I want you to understand that [fn]Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of [fn]Christ.

1Co 11:4

1Co 11:4Every man who has something on his head while praying or prophesying, shames his head.

1Co 11:5

1Co 11:5But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying, shames her head, for she is one and the same as the woman [fn]whose head is shaved.

1Co 11:6

1Co 11:6For if a woman does not cover [fn]her head, let her also [fn]have her hair cut short. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to [fn]have her hair cut short or [fn]her head shaved, let her cover [fn]her head.

1Co 11:7

1Co 11:7For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of man.

1Co 11:8

1Co 11:8For man [fn]does not originate from woman, but woman from man.

1Co 11:9

1Co 11:9For indeed man was not created for the woman’s sake, but woman for the man’s sake.

1Co 11:10

1Co 11:10Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

1Co 11:11

1Co 11:11Nevertheless, in the Lord, neither is woman [fn]independent of man, nor is man [fn]independent of woman.

1Co 11:12

1Co 11:12For as the woman [fn]originates from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman, but all things [fn]originate from God.

1Co 11:13

1Co 11:13Judge [fn]for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

1Co 11:14

1Co 11:14Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him,

1Co 11:15

1Co 11:15but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her for a covering.

1Co 11:16

1Co 11:16But if one is inclined to be contentious, we have no [fn]other practice, nor have the churches of God.

The Lord’s Supper

1Co 11:17

But in giving^G3853 this^G3778 instruction^G3853, I do not praise^G1867 you, because^G3754 you come^G4905 together^G4905 not for the better^G2909 but for the worse^G2276.

1Co 11:18

1Co 11:18For, in the first place, when you come together [fn]as a church, I hear that [fn]divisions exist among you, and in part I believe it.

1Co 11:19

1Co 11:19For there must also be factions among you, so that those who are approved may become [fn]evident among you.

1Co 11:20

1Co 11:20Therefore when you meet together in the same place, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper,

1Co 11:21

1Co 11:21for in your eating each one takes his own supper first, and one is hungry and another is drunk.

1Co 11:22

1Co 11:22For do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you.

(Mat 26:26–29; Mar 14:22–25; Luk 22:14–23 )

1Co 11:23

For I received^G3880 from the Lord^G2962 that which^G3739 I also^G2532 delivered^G3860 to you, that the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 in the night^G3571 in which^G3739 He was being betrayed^G3860 took^G2983 bread^G740,

1Co 11:24

1Co 11:24and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.”

1Co 11:25

1Co 11:25In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

1Co 11:26

1Co 11:26For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until He comes.

1Co 11:27

Therefore^G5620 whoever^G3739^G302 eats^G2068 the bread^G740 or^G2228 drinks^G4095 the cup^G4221 of the Lord^G2962 in an unworthy^G371 manner^G371, shall be guilty^G1777 of the body^G4983 and the blood^G129 of the Lord^G2962.
