1 Corinthians 11 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Christian Order

1Co 11:1

1Co 11:1Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.

1Co 11:2

1Co 11:2Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered 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 disgraces his head.

1Co 11:5

1Co 11:5But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces 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 off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to [fn]have her hair cut off 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 11:11However, 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; and 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.

1Co 11:17

1Co 11:17But in giving this instruction, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

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, 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 11:22What! 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.

1Co 11:23

1Co 11:23For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread;

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 Lord’s death until He comes.

1Co 11:27

1Co 11:27Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

1Co 11:28

1Co 11:28But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

1Co 11:29

1Co 11:29For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly.

1Co 11:30

1Co 11:30For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number [fn]sleep.

1Co 11:31

1Co 11:31But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged.

1Co 11:32

1Co 11:32But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world.

1Co 11:33

1Co 11:33So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

1Co 11:34

1Co 11:34If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment. The remaining matters I will arrange when I come.
