Modern Literal Version
[1 Corinthians 11]
11:1 Become imitators of me, just-as I also am of Christ.
11:2 Now I praise you* brethren that you* have remembered me in all things and are holding-onto the traditions, just-as I gave them to you*. 11:3 But I wish you* to 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. 11:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having something on his head, shames his head. 11:5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled shames her head; for* it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved. 11:6 For* if a woman is not veiled, let her hair also be sheared; but if it is shameful to a woman to be sheared or shaved, let her be veiled. 11:7 For* a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled, being* that he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man. 11:8 For* the man is not from the woman; but the woman is from the man; 11:9 for*neither was the man created because of the woman; but the woman because of the man. 11:10Because of this the woman ought to have a sign of authority upon her head, because of the messengers. 11:11 However, neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in the Lord. 11:12 For* like the woman is from the man, so the man is also through the woman; but all things are from God. 11:13 You* judge in yourselves. Is it suitable that a woman pray to God unveiled? 11:14 Or does not even nature itself teach you*, that, if a man has long-hair, it is a dishonor to him? 11:15 But if a woman has long-hair, it is a glory to her, because her hair is given to her instead of a head dressing. 11:16 But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the congregations of God.
11:17 But in commanding this, I am not praising you*, because you* are not coming together *for the best but *for the worst. 11:18 For* first of all, when you* come together in the congregation, I am hearing that splits exist in you*, and I believe some part of it. 11:19 For* there must also be sects among you*, that* those who are proven may become apparent among you*. 11:20 Therefore when you* come together, it is not possible to eat the Lord's supper; 11:21 for* in your* eating each one is taking his own supper before others can, and one is hungry and another is drunken. 11:22 For* do you* not have houses in which to eat and drink in? Or do you* despise the congregation of God and are shaming those who have nothing? What should I say to you*? Should I praise you*? I should not praise you* in this.
{Mk 14:22-25 & Mt 26:26-29 & Lk 22:19-20, 1Cor: 11:23-26}
11:23 For* I received from the Lord what I also gave to you*, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was given up took bread; 11:24 and when he had given-thanks, he broke it and said, Take, eat. This is my body, which is being broken on behalf of you*. Practice this in my remembrance.11:25 Likewise* also the cup, after the supper, saying, This cup is the {F} new covenant* in my blood. Practice this in my remembrance whenever you* drink it. 11:26 For* whenever you* eat this bread and drink this cup, you* are proclaiming the Lord's death until whenever he comes.
11:27 So-then whoever unworthily eats this bread or drinks the cup of the Lord, will be liable to the body and of the blood of the Lord. 11:28 But let a man prove himself and so let him eat from the bread and drink out of the cup. 11:29 For* he who unworthily eats and drinks, is eating and drinking judgment to himself, if he does not discern the body of the Lord.
11:30 Because of this, many among you* are weak and sick and a considerable number fall-asleep. 11:31 For* if we discerned ourselves, we should not be judged. 11:32 But being judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, that* we may not be condemned with the world. 11:33 So-then my brethren, when you* come together to eat, wait for one another. 11:34 But if anyone is hungry, let him eat inhis own house; that* you* may not come together *for judgment. And the rest I will set in order whenever I come.
