1 Corinthians 11 :: Revised Standard Version (RSV)

Christian Order

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

1Co 11:2I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you.

1Co 11:3

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

1Co 11:4

1Co 11:4Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head,

1Co 11:5

1Co 11:5but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head--it is the same as if her head were shaven.

1Co 11:6

1Co 11:6For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her wear a veil.

1Co 11:7

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

1Co 11:8

1Co 11:8(For man was not made from woman, but woman from man.

1Co 11:9

1Co 11:9Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.)

1Co 11:10

1Co 11:10That is why a woman ought to have a veil on her head, because of the angels.

1Co 11:11

1Co 11:11(Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman;

1Co 11:12

1Co 11:12for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God.)

1Co 11:13

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

1Co 11:14

1Co 11:14Does not nature itself teach you that for a man to wear long hair is degrading to him,

1Co 11:15

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

1Co 11:16

1Co 11:16If any one is disposed to be contentious, we recognize no other practice, nor do the churches of God.

1Co 11:17

1Co 11:17But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.

1Co 11:18

1Co 11:18For, in the first place, when you assemble as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it,

1Co 11:19

1Co 11:19for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized.

1Co 11:20

1Co 11:20When you meet together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat.

1Co 11:21

1Co 11:21For in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal, and one is hungry and another is drunk.

1Co 11:22

1Co 11:22What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you in this? No, I will not.

The Lord's Supper

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

1Co 11:23

1Co 11:23For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when 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 also the cup, 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 11:27Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord.

1Co 11:28

1Co 11:28Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

1Co 11:29

1Co 11:29For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself.

1Co 11:30

1Co 11:30That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.

1Co 11:31

1Co 11:31But if we judged ourselves truly, we should not be judged.

1Co 11:32

1Co 11:32But when we are judged by the Lord, we are chastened so that we may 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 any one is hungry, let him eat at home--lest you come together to be condemned. About the other things I will give directions when I come.
