New Testament

1 Corinthians 11:12-22 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

12. For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.

13. Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?

14. Doesn’t even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonour 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 seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God’s assemblies.

17. But in giving you this command, I don’t praise you, that you come together not for the better but for the worse.

18. For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist amongst you, and I partly believe it.

19. For there also must be factions amongst you, that those who are approved may be revealed amongst you.

20. When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat.

21. For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunken.

22. What, 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 enough? What shall I tell you? Shall I praise you? In this I don’t praise you.
