Context
11:12 For just as woman came from man , so man comes through woman . But all things come from God .
11:13 Judge for yourselves : Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered ?
11:14 Does not nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair , it is a disgrace for him ,
11:15 but if a woman has long hair , it is her glory ? For her hair is given to her for a covering .
11:16 If anyone intends to quarrel about this, we have no other practice , nor do the churches of God .
The Lord’s Supper
11:17 Now in giving the following instruction I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse .
11:18 For in the first place , when you come together as a church I hear there are divisions among you , and in part I believe it.
11:19 For there must in fact be divisions among you , so that those of you who are approved may be evident .
11:20 Now when you come together at the same place , you are not really eating the Lord’s Supper .
11:21 For when it is time to eat , everyone proceeds with his own supper . One is hungry and another becomes drunk .
11:22 Do you not have houses so that you can eat and drink ? Or are you trying to show contempt for the church of God by shaming those who have nothing ? What should I say to you ? Should I praise you ? I will not praise you for this !
11:23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you , that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread ,
11:24 and after he had given thanks he broke it and said , “This is my body , which is for you . Do this in remembrance of me .”
11:25 In the same way , he also took the cup after supper , saying , “This cup is the new covenant in my blood . Do this , every time you drink it, in remembrance of me .”
11:26 For every time you eat this bread and drink the cup , you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes .
11:27 For this reason , whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord .
11:28 A person should examine himself first, and in this way let him eat the bread and drink of the cup .
11:29 For the one who eats and drinks without careful regard for the body eats and drinks judgment against himself .
11:30 That is why many of you are weak and sick , and quite a few are dead .
11:31 But if we examined ourselves , we would not be judged .
11:32 But when we are judged by the Lord , we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned with the world .
11:33 So then , my brothers and sisters , when you come together to eat , wait for one another .
11:34 If anyone is hungry , let him eat at home , so that when you assemble it does not lead to judgment . I will give directions about other matters when I come .
