1 Corinthians 11:11-31
-
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.
