1 Corinthians 11:13-26 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

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.
