1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also [am] of Christ.
2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered [them] to you.
3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman [is] the man; and the head of Christ [is] God.
4 Every man praying or prophesying, having [his] head covered, dishonoureth his head.
5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with [her] head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
7 For a man indeed ought not to cover [his] head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on [her] head because of the angels.
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.
32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.
34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
Versículos relacionados com 1 Corinthians, 11:
Chapter 11 of 1 Corinthians deals with some issues related to order and decency in public worship, including the use of veils by women and the practice of the Lord's supper. The verses related to these themes are:
1 Timothy 2:9-10: "Likewise, I want women to be modestly seen, with decency and discretion, not adorning with braids, gold, pearls or expensive clothes, but with good works, as is appropriate to women who profess Worship God." This verse addresses modesty in clothing, something that is also discussed in chapter 11 of 1 Corinthians.
1 Corinthians 10:16-17: "The chalice of the blessing we bless is not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread we depart is not the communion of the body of Christ? We are one body, because we all participate in the only bread. " This verse makes a direct reference to the Lord's Supper, a subject treated in 1 Corinthians 11.
Ephesians 5:22-23: "Women, are subjecting to your husband, as to the Lord, for the husband is the head of the woman, as Christ is the head of the church, who is his body, of which he is the Savior." This verse makes a reference to God's hierarchy in family relations, a theme that is also addressed in 1 Corinthians 11.
1 Peter 3:3-4: "Their ornament should not be in the outer ornaments, such as braided hair and thin jewelry or thin clothes, but in the inner being, in the heart, which does not perish, and in the Spirit, which is genuine and honest." This verse deals with modesty again, noting that the true value of the person is in his character and not in his garments.
Matthew 26:26-28: "As they ate, Jesus took bread, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, 'Take and eat; this is my body.' Thanks and offered him to the disciples, saying, 'Drink from him all of you. This is my covenant blood, which is shed for many for forgiveness of sins.' This verse is another direct reference to the Lord's Supper, showing the importance that Jesus gave to this practice.
