Chapter 11 of 1 CorinthiansKing James Version (KJV)



  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, dishonoureth his head.
  5. ¶ But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
  6. ¶ For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but 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 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. ¶ 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 of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
  13. ¶ Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
  14. ¶ Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is 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 covering.
  16. ¶ But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
  17. ¶ Now in this that I declare unto 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 be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
  19. ¶ For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
  20. ¶ When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord’s supper.
  21. ¶ For in eating every one taketh before other 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 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 when he had given thanks, he brake 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 oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
  26. ¶ For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.
  27. ¶ Wherefore whosoever 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 damnation 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 of 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 hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
