1 Corinthians 11:8-34

8For 1manG435 2does not originateG1510 from womanG1135, but womanG1135 from manG435; 9for indeedG2532 manG435 was not createdG2936 for the woman’sG1135 sakeG1223, but 3womanG1135 for the man’sG435 sakeG1223. 10ThereforeG1223G3778 the womanG1135 oughtG3784 to haveG2192 a symbol of authorityG1849 on her headG2776, becauseG1223 of the angelsG32. 11HoweverG4133, in the LordG2962, neitherG3777 is womanG1135 4independentG5565 of manG435, norG3777 is manG435 5independentG5565 of womanG1135. 12For as the womanG1135 6originates from the manG435, soG3779 alsoG2532 the manG435 has his birth throughG1223 the womanG1135; and 7allG3956 thingsG3956 8originate 9from GodG2316. 1310JudgeG2919 11for yourselvesG4771G846: is it properG4241 for a womanG1135 to prayG4336 to GodG2316 with her head uncoveredG177? 14Does not evenG3761 natureG5449 itselfG846 teachG1321 you that ifG1437 a manG435 hasG2863 longG2863 hairG2863, it is a dishonorG819 to him, 15but ifG1437 a womanG1135 hasG2863 longG2863 hairG2863, it is a gloryG1391 to her? For her hairG2864 is givenG1325 to her for a coveringG4018. 16But ifG1487 oneG5100 is inclinedG1380 to be contentiousG5380, 12we haveG2192 noG3756 13otherG5108 practiceG4914, norG3761 have 14the churchesG1577 of GodG2316.

17But in givingG3853 thisG3778 instructionG3853, 15I do not praiseG1867 you, becauseG3754 you comeG4905 togetherG4905 not for the betterG2909 but for the worseG2269. 18For, in the firstG4413 place, when you comeG4905 togetherG4905 16as a churchG1577, I hearG191 that 1718divisionsG4978 existG5225 amongG1722 you; and in partG3313 I believeG4100 it. 19For there 19mustG1163 alsoG2532 be factionsG139 amongG1722 you, 20soG2443 that thoseG3588 who are approvedG1384 may becomeG1096 21evidentG5318 amongG1722 you. 20ThereforeG3767 when you meetG4905 togetherG1909G3588G846, it is not to eatG2068 the Lord’sG2960 SupperG1173, 21for in your eatingG2068 eachG1538 oneG1538 takesG4301 his ownG2398 supperG1173 firstG4301; and oneG3739G3303 is hungryG3983 and 22anotherG3739G1161 is drunkG3184. 22WhatG1063! Do you not haveG2192 housesG3614 in which to eatG2068 and drinkG4095? OrG2228 do you despiseG2706 the 23churchG1577 of GodG2316 and 24shameG2617 thoseG3588 who haveG2192 nothingG3361? WhatG5101 shall I sayG3004 to you? Shall 25I praiseG1867 you? In thisG3778 I will not praiseG1867 you.

23For 26I receivedG3880 from the LordG2962 that whichG3739 I alsoG2532 deliveredG3860 to you, that 27the LordG2962 JesusG2424 in the nightG3571 in whichG3739 He was betrayedG3860 tookG2983 breadG740; 24and when He had givenG2168 thanksG2168, He brokeG2806 it and saidG3004, “ThisG3778 is My bodyG4983, which is for you; doG4160 thisG3778 in remembranceG364 of Me.” 25In the sameG5615 wayG5615 He took 28the cupG4221 alsoG2532 afterG3326 supperG1172, sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 cupG4221 is the 29newG2537 covenantG1242 in My bloodG129; doG4160 thisG3778, as oftenG3740 as you drinkG4095 it, in remembranceG364 of Me.” 26For as oftenG3740 as you eatG2068 thisG3778 breadG740 and drinkG4095 the cupG4221, you proclaimG2605 the Lord’sG2962 deathG2288 30untilG891 He comesG2064.

27ThereforeG5620 whoeverG3739G302 eatsG2068 the breadG740 orG2228 drinksG4095 the cupG4221 of the LordG2962 in an unworthyG371 mannerG371, shall be 31guiltyG1777 of the bodyG4983 and the bloodG129 of the LordG2962. 28But a manG444 must 32examineG1381 himselfG1438, and in soG3779 doing he is to eatG2068 of the breadG740 and drinkG4095 of the cupG4221. 29For he who eatsG2068 and drinksG4095, eatsG2068 and drinksG4095 judgmentG2917 to himselfG1438 if he does not judgeG1252 the bodyG4983 rightly. 30For thisG3778 reasonG1223 manyG4183 amongG1722 you are weakG772 and sickG732, and a numberG2425 3334sleepG2837. 31But ifG1487 we judgedG1252 ourselvesG1438 rightly, we would not be judgedG2919. 32But when we are judgedG2919, we are 35disciplinedG3811 by the LordG2962 soG2443 that we will not be condemnedG2632 alongG4862 with 36the worldG2889.

33SoG5620 thenG5620, my brethrenG80, when you comeG4905 togetherG4905 to eatG2068, waitG1551 for oneG240 anotherG240. 34IfG1487 anyoneG5100 is 37hungryG3983, let him eatG2068 38at homeG3624, soG2443 that you will not comeG4905 togetherG4905 for judgmentG2917. The remainingG3062 matters I will 39arrangeG1299 40whenG5613 I comeG2064.
