11:1  Be my imitators, even as I also am of Christ.
11:2  Now I praise you, that in all things ye are mindful of me; and that as I have directed you, ye keep the directions.
11:3  But I wish you to know that the Christ is the head of every man, but woman's head is the man, and the Christ's head God.
11:4  Every man praying or prophesying, having anything on his head, puts his head to shame.
11:5  But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered puts her own head to shame; for it is one and the same as a shaved woman.
11:6  For if a woman be not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if it be shameful to a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, let her be covered.
11:7  For man indeed ought not to have his head covered, being God's image and glory; but woman is man's glory.
11:8  For man is not of woman, but woman of man.
11:9  For also man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake of the man.
11:10  Therefore ought the woman to have authority on her head, on account of the angels.
11:11  However, neither is woman without man, nor man without woman, in the Lord.
11:12  For as the woman is of the man, so also is the man by the woman, but all things of God.
11:13  Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman should pray to God uncovered?
11:14  Does not even nature itself teach you, that man, if he have long hair, it is a dishonour to him?
11:15  But woman, if she have long hair, it is glory to her; for the long hair is given to her in lieu of a veil.
11:16  But if any one think to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the assemblies of God.
11:17  But in prescribing to you on this which I now enter on, I do not praise, namely, that ye come together, not for the better, but for the worse.
11:18  For first, when ye come together in assembly, I hear there exist divisions among you, and I partly give credit to it.
11:19  For there must also be sects among you, that the approved may become manifest among you.
11:20  When ye come therefore together into one place, it is not to eat the Lord's supper.
11:21  For each one in eating takes his own supper before others, and one is hungry and another drinks to excess.
11:22  Have ye not then houses for eating and drinking? or do ye despise the assembly of God, and put to shame them who have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this point I do not praise.
11:23  For I received from the Lord, that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread,
11:24  and having given thanks broke it, and said, This is my body, which is for you: this do in remembrance of me.
11:25  In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye shall drink it, in remembrance of me.
11:26  For as often as ye shall eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye announce the death of the Lord, until he come.
11:27  So that whosoever shall eat the bread, or drink the cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty in respect of the body and of the blood of the Lord.
11:28  But let a man prove himself, and thus eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.
11:29  For the eater and drinker eats and drinks judgment to himself, not distinguishing the body.
11:30  On this account many among you are weak and infirm, and a good many are fallen asleep.
11:31  But if we judged ourselves, so were we not judged.
11:32  But being judged, we are disciplined of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
11:33  So that, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait for one another.
11:34  If any one be hungry, let him eat at home, that ye may not come together for judgment. But the other things, whenever I come, I will set in order.
