1 Corinthians_Chapter 11

You should emulate me, just as I emulate Christ.

I praise you, because you remember me in all things and hold fast to what I have preached to you.

I want you to know that Christ is the head of everyone. Men are the head of women, and God is the head of Christ.

If a man prays or prophesies, and covers his head, he will shame his own head.

If a woman prays or preaches without covering her head, she will humiliate her own head. Because it’s like shaving your hair.

If a woman doesn’t cover her head, she should cut her hair. If a woman is ashamed of cutting and shaving her hair, she should cover her head.

Men should not have covered their heads, for they are the image and glory of God, but women are the glory of men.

At first, men did not emerge from women. Women arise from men.

And men are not made for women. Women are made for men.

Therefore, for the sake of angels, women should have a sign of authority on their heads.

However, according to the Lord’s arrangement, women are not without men, and men are not without women.

Because women originally emerged from men, and men also emerged from women. But everything is beyond imagination.

Judge yourselves, is it appropriate for a woman to pray to God without covering her head?

Does not your nature also indicate that if a man has long hair, it is his shame?

But a woman with long hair is her glory. Because this hair is used as a cover for her.

If anyone wants to argue, but we do not have such a rule, nor do the churches of God.

The word I command you now is not to praise you. Because your gathering is not a gain, but a loss.

Firstly, I heard that when you gather, you categorize each other. I also believe this a bit.

It is inevitable that there will be factionalism among you, so that those who have experience can be exposed.

When you gather, it doesn’t count as having the Lord’s dinner.

Because when eating, everyone eats their own food first, even when hungry or drunk.

You want to eat and drink, don’t you have a home? Or despise the church of God, to shame those who do not have it? What can I say to you? Can I praise you for this? I don’t praise it.

What I sent to you on that day was received from the Lord, that is, the night when the Lord Jesus was betrayed, he picked up bread,

After thanking him, he broke it open and said, “This is my body, which I gave up for you.”. You should do this in memory of me.

After dinner, he also picked up his cup and said, “This cup is a new covenant made with my blood.”. Do this every time you drink, to remember me.

Whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, it is a sign of the Lord’s death until he comes.

So whoever eats the Lord’s bread and drinks the Lord’s cup without reason is committing a crime against the Lord’s body and blood.

People should examine themselves and then eat this cake and drink this cup.

For if a person eats and drinks without distinguishing whether it is the body of the Lord, it is their own sin to eat and drink.

Therefore, there are many weak and sick among you, and many who die.

If we distinguish ourselves first, we won’t be put on trial.

When we are tried, we are punished by the Lord. Lest we be condemned together with the world.

So my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for each other.

If someone is hungry, they can eat at home first. To prevent you from gathering and taking offense on your own. I will arrange the rest when I come.
