(KJV) 1 Corinthians 11¹

⥃Roles in Worship

[1] Be ye² followers of me, even³ as I also [am] of Christ. [2] Now I praise⁴ you, brethren, that⁵ ye remember me in all things, and keep⁶ the ordinances⁷, as I delivered [them] to you. [3] But I would have you know, that the head of every⁸ man is Christ; and the head of the⁹ woman [is] the man; and the head of Christ¹⁰ [is] God. [4] Every man praying or¹¹ prophesying, having¹² [his] head covered, dishonoureth his head. [5] But every woman that prayeth or¹³ prophesieth with [her] head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven¹⁴. [6] For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but¹⁵ 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 is¹⁶ the image and glory of God: but¹⁷ the woman is the glory of the man. [8] For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.¹⁸ [9] Neither was the man¹⁹ created for the woman; but the woman for the man. [10] For this cause ought the woman to have power²⁰ on [her] head because²¹ of the angels. [11] Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.²² [12] For as the woman [is] of the man, even so [is] the man also by the woman; but²³ all things of God. [13] Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?²⁴ [14] Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if²⁵ a man have long hair, it is²⁶ 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 covering²⁷. [16] But if any man seem²⁸ to be contentious, we have no such²⁹ custom, neither the churches³⁰ of God.

⥃Sharing in the Lord’s Supper ^{[ Matthew 26:20–30 † Mark 14:17–26 † Luke 22:14–23 ]}

[17] Now in this that I declare [unto you] I praise³¹ [you] not, that ye³² come together not for the better, but for the worse. [18] For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear³³ that there be divisions³⁴ among you; and I partly believe it. [19] For there³⁵ must be also heresies³⁶ among you, that they which³⁷ are approved may be made manifest among you. [20] When ye come together therefore into one place, [this] is not to eat³⁸ the Lord’s supper. [21] For in³⁹ eating every one taketh before [other] his own supper: and one⁴⁰ is hungry, and another is drunken. [22] What? have⁴¹ ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or⁴² despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not⁴³? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise [you] not. [23] For I have⁴⁴ received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the [same⁴⁵] night in which he was betrayed took⁴⁶ bread: [24] And when he had given thanks, he brake [it], and said, Take, eat⁴⁷: this⁴⁸ is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance⁴⁹ of me. [25] After the same manner also [he took] the cup, when he had supped, saying, This⁵⁰ cup is the new⁵¹ 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 shew⁵² the Lord’s death till⁵³ he come. [27] Wherefore whosoever⁵⁴ shall eat this bread, and drink [this] cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be⁵⁵ guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. [28] But let a⁵⁶ man examine himself, and so⁵⁷ let him eat of [that] bread, and drink of [that] cup. [29] For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation⁵⁸ to himself, not⁵⁹ discerning the Lord’s body. [30] For this cause many⁶⁰ [are] weak and sickly among you, and many sleep⁶¹. [31] For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.⁶² [32] But when we are⁶³ judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned⁶⁴ with the world. [33] Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. [34] And if any⁶⁵ man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation⁶⁶. And the rest will I⁶⁷ set in order when⁶⁸ I come.
