1 Corinthians - douay rheims

Chapter 11

¹ BE ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ.
² Now I praise you, brethren, that in all things you are mindful of me: and keep my ordinances as I have 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 with his head covered, disgraceth his head.
⁵ But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered, disgraceth her head: for it is all one as if she were shaven.
⁶ For if a woman be not covered, let her be shorn. But if it be a shame to a woman to be shorn or made bald, let her cover her head.
⁷ The man indeed ought not to cover his head, because 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 For the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man.
¹⁰ Therefore ought the woman to have a power over her head, because of the angels.
¹¹ But yet neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in the Lord.
¹² For as the woman is of the man, so also is the man by the woman: but all things of God.
¹³ You yourselves judge: doth it become a woman, to pray unto God uncovered?
¹⁴ Doth not even nature itself teach you, that a man indeed, if he nourish his hair, it is a shame unto him?
¹⁵ But if a woman nourish her hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering.
¹⁶ But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the church of God.
¹⁷ Now this I ordain: not praising you, that you come together not for the better, but for the worse.
¹⁸ For first of all I hear that when you come together in the church, there are schisms among you; and in part I believe it.
¹⁹ For there must be also heresies: that they also, who are approved, may be made manifest among you.
²⁰ When you come therefore together into one place, it is not now to eat the Lord's supper.
²¹ For every one taketh before his own supper to eat. And one indeed is hungry and another is drunk.
²² What, have you not houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God; and put them to shame that have not ? What shall I say to you? Do 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 giving thanks, broke, and said: Take ye, and eat: this is my body, which shall be delivered for you: this do for the commemoration of me.
²⁵ In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me.
²⁶ For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come.
²⁷ Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.
²⁸ But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of the chalice.
²⁹ For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.
³⁰ Therefore are there many inform and weak among you, and many sleep.
³¹ But if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
³² But whilst we are judged, we are chastised by the Lord, that we be not condemned with this world.
³³ Wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
³⁴ If any man be hungry, let him eat at home; that you come not together unto judgment. And the rest I will set in order, when I come.

Chapter 11

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, dishonoreth his head.
⁵ But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered, dishonoreth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaved.
⁶ For if the woman is not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaved, 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 from the woman, but the woman from 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 from the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things from God.
¹³ Judge in yourselves: Is it comely that a woman should pray to God uncovered?
¹⁴ Doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man hath long hair, it is a shame to him?
¹⁵ But if a woman hath long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
¹⁶ But if any man seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
¹⁷ Now in this that I declare to 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 are divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
¹⁹ For there must be also heresies among you, that they who are approved may be made manifest among you.
²⁰ When therefore ye come together in one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.
²¹ For in eating every one taketh before another 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 from the Lord, that which also I delivered to you, That the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread:
²⁴ And when he had given thanks, he broke 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 often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
²⁶ For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he shall come.
²⁷ Wherefore, whoever 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 condemnation 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 by 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 hungereth, let him eat at home; that ye come not together to condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

Chapter 11

¹ imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.
² I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.
³ 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 man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.
⁵ every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.
⁶ if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.
⁷ a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.
⁸ man is not from woman, but woman from man;
⁹ neither was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.
¹⁰ this cause the woman ought to have authority on her head, because of the angels.
¹¹ neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord.
¹² as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.
¹³ for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?
¹⁴ even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
¹⁵ if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given to her for a covering.
¹⁶ if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God's assemblies.
¹⁷ in giving you this command, I don't praise you, that you come together not for the better but for the worse.
¹⁸ first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist among you, and I partly believe it.
¹⁹ there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.
²⁰ therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat.
²¹ in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunken.
²² don't you have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise God's assembly, and put them to shame who don't have? What shall I tell you? Shall I praise you? In this I don't praise you.
²³ I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread.
²⁴ he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "Take, eat. This is my body, which is broken for you. Do this in memory of me."
²⁵ the same way he also took the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink, in memory of me."
²⁶ as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
²⁷ whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord's cup in a way unworthy of the Lord will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
²⁸ let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.
²⁹ he who eats and drinks in an unworthy way eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he doesn't discern the Lord's body.
³⁰ this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.
³¹ if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn't be judged.
³² when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
³³ my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
³⁴ if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.

Chapter 11

¹ Be my imitators, even as *I* also [am] of Christ.
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.
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.
⁴ Every man praying or prophesying, having [anything] on his head, puts his head to shame.
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].
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.
⁷ For man indeed ought not to have his head covered, being God's image and glory; but woman is man's glory.
⁸ For man is not of woman, but woman of man.
⁹ For also man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake of the man.
¹⁰ Therefore ought the woman to have authority on her head, on account of the angels.
¹¹ However, neither [is] woman without man, nor man without woman, in [the] Lord.
¹² For as the woman [is] of the man, so also [is] the man by the woman, but all things of God.
¹³ Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman should pray to God uncovered?
¹⁴ Does not even nature itself teach you, that man, if he have long hair, it is a dishonour to him?
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.
¹⁶ But if any one think to be contentious, *we* have no such custom, nor the assemblies of God.
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.
¹⁸ For first, when ye come together in assembly, I hear there exist divisions among you, and I partly give credit [to it].
¹⁹ For there must also be sects among you, that the approved may become manifest among you.
²⁰ When ye come therefore together into one place, it is not to eat [the] Lord's supper.
²¹ For each one in eating takes his *own* supper before [others], and one is hungry and another drinks to excess.
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.
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,
²⁴ and having given thanks broke [it], and said, This is my body, which [is] for you: this do in remembrance of me.
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.
²⁶ For as often as ye shall eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye announce the death of the Lord, until he come.
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.
²⁸ But let a man prove himself, and thus eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.
²⁹ For [the] eater and drinker eats and drinks judgment to himself, not distinguishing the body.
³⁰ On this account many among you [are] weak and infirm, and a good many are fallen asleep.
³¹ But if we judged ourselves, so were we not judged.
³² But being judged, we are disciplined of [the] Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
³³ So that, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait for one another.
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.

¹ Be ye imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.

⁷ For a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled, 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 for neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man:

¹³ Judge ye in yourselves: is it seemly that a woman pray unto God unveiled?

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 seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

²⁷ Wherefore whosoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
²⁸ But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.
²⁹ For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body.
³⁰ For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.
³¹ But if we discerned ourselves, we should not be judged.
³² But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

Chapter 11

¹ So take me for your example, even as I take Christ for mine.
² Now I am pleased to see that you keep me in memory in all things, and that you give attention to the teaching which was handed down from me to you.
³ But it is important for you to keep this fact in mind, 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 who takes part in prayer, or gives teaching as a prophet, with his head covered, puts shame on his head.
⁵ But every woman who does so with her head unveiled, puts shame on her head: for it is the same as if her hair was cut off.
⁶ For if a woman is not veiled, let her hair be cut off; but if it is a shame to a woman to have her hair cut off, let her be veiled.
⁷ For it is not right for a man to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
⁸ For the man did not come from the woman, but the woman from the man.
⁹ And the man was not made for the woman, but the woman for the man.
¹⁰ For this reason it is right for the woman to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.
¹¹ But the woman is not separate from the man, and the man is not separate from the woman in the Lord.
¹² For as the woman is from the man, so the man is through the woman; but all things are from God.
¹³ Be judges yourselves of the question: does it seem right for a woman to take part in prayer unveiled?
¹⁴ Does it not seem natural to you that if a man has long hair, it is a cause of shame to him?
¹⁵ But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given to her for a covering.
¹⁶ But if any man will not be ruled in this question, this is not our way of doing things, and it is not done in the churches of God.
¹⁷ But in giving you this order, there is one thing about which I am not pleased: it is that when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.
¹⁸ For first of all, it has come to my ears that when you come together in the church, there are divisions among you, and I take the statement to be true in part.
¹⁹ For divisions are necessary among you, in order that those who have God's approval may be clearly seen among you.
²⁰ But now, when you come together, it is not possible to take the holy meal of the Lord:
²¹ For when you take your food, everyone takes his meal before the other; and one has not enough food, and another is the worse for drink.
²² What? have you not houses to take your meals in? or have you no respect for the church of God, putting the poor to shame? What am I to say to you? am I to give you praise? certainly not.
²³ For it was handed down to me from the Lord, as I gave it to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night when Judas was false to him, took bread,
²⁴ And when it had been broken with an act of praise, he said, This is my body which is for you: do this in memory of me.
²⁵ In the same way, with the cup, after the meal, he said, This cup is the new testament in my blood: do this, whenever you take it, in memory of me.
²⁶ For whenever you take the bread and the cup you give witness to the Lord's death till he comes.
²⁷ If, then, anyone takes the bread or the cup of the Lord in the wrong spirit, he will be responsible for the body and blood of the Lord.
²⁸ But let no man take of the bread and the cup without testing himself.
²⁹ For a man puts himself in danger, if he takes part in the holy meal without being conscious that it is the Lord's body.
³⁰ For this cause a number of you are feeble and ill, and a number are dead.
³¹ But if we were true judges of ourselves, punishment would not come on us.
³² But if punishment does come, it is sent by the Lord, so that we may be safe when the world is judged.
³³ So then, my brothers, when you come together to the holy meal of the Lord, let there be waiting for one another.
³⁴ If any man is in need of food, let him take his meal in his house; so that you may not come together to your damage. And the rest I will put in order when I come.
