11:2-16
A.
The headship in the universe
vv. 2-3
1 Cor. 11
:2
11:2
But I
apraise you because in all things you have
bremembered me and hold fast the
1cthings that I have handed down even as I handed
1them down to you.
1 Cor. 11
:3
11:3
But I want you to know that
1Christ is the
ahead of every man, and the
2man is the
bhead of the woman, and
3God is the
chead of Christ.
B.
The head covering
vv. 4-6
1 Cor. 11
:4
11:4
Every man praying or
1aprophesying with his head covered
2disgraces his head.
1 Cor. 11
:5
11:5
But every woman
apraying or
bprophesying with her head
1uncovered disgraces her head; for it is one and the same as she who is
2cshaved.
1 Cor. 11
:6
11:6
For if a woman is not covered, let
her hair also be cut off; but if it is shameful for a woman to have
her hair cut off or to be shaved,
1let her be covered.
C.
The reasons
vv. 7-15
1 Cor. 11
:7
11:7
For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is
1God's
aimage and glory; but the woman is the
2bglory of the man.
1 Cor. 11
:8
11:8
For man is not out of woman, but
1woman aout of man;
1 Cor. 11
:9
11:9
For also man was not
1created for the sake of the woman, but
2awoman for the sake of the man.
1 Cor. 11
:10
11:10
Therefore the woman ought to have
a 1sign of submission to
aauthority on her head for the
2sake of the
bangels.
1 Cor. 11
:11
11:11
However neither is woman without man, nor man without woman,
1in the Lord.
1 Cor. 11
:12
11:12
For just as the woman is out from the man, so also is the man
1through the woman; but
aall things are out from God.
1 Cor. 11
:13
11:13
aJudge this in your own selves: Is it fitting for a woman to pray uncovered to God?
1 Cor. 11
:14
11:14
Does not even
1nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him,
1 Cor. 11
:15
11:15
But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, because her long hair has been given to her for a covering.
D.
No contention
v.16
1 Cor. 11
:16
11:16
But if anyone seems to be contentious, we do not have
1such a custom
of being so, neither the
2achurches of God.

1But I give
you 2this charge and do not
apraise you, because you
bcome together not for the better but for the worse.
1 Cor. 11
:18
11:18
For first of all, when you come together
1ain the church, I hear that
bdivisions exist among you; and some part
of it I believe.
1 Cor. 11
:19
11:19
For there must even be
1parties among you, that those who are
2approved may become
3manifest among you.
1 Cor. 11
:20
11:20
When therefore you come together in the same place, it is not to eat the
1Lord's supper;
1 Cor. 11
:21
11:21
For in your eating, each one takes his own
1supper first, and one is hungry and the other is drunk.
1 Cor. 11
:22
11:22
Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the
achurch of God and
bput those to shame who have not? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I do not
cpraise you.
B.
The review of the definition
vv. 23-26
1 Cor. 11
:23
11:23
For I
areceived from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus
bin the night in which He was
1cbetrayed dtook bread,
1 Cor. 11
:24
11:24
And having given thanks, He
1broke it and said, This is My body, which is
given for you; this do
2unto the
3remembrance of Me.
1 Cor. 11
:25
11:25
Similarly also the cup after they had dined, saying, This
1cup is the
anew covenant
established in My blood; this do, as often as you
2drink it, unto the remembrance of Me.
1 Cor. 11
:26
11:26
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you
1declare the Lord's death
2until He
acomes.
C.
The need of proving and discerning
vv. 27-29
1 Cor. 11
:27
11:27
So then whoever
aeats the
bbread or
adrinks the
bcup of the Lord in an
1unworthy manner will
2be guilty of the body and of the
cblood of the Lord.
1 Cor. 11
:28
11:28
But let a man
1aprove himself, and in this way let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
1 Cor. 11
:29
11:29
For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks
1judgment to himself if he does not
2discern 3the body.
D.
The discipline of the Lord
vv. 30-34
1 Cor. 11
:30
11:30
Because of
1this many among you are
2weak and sick, and a number
3asleep.
1 Cor. 11
:31
11:31
But if we
1discerned ourselves, we would not be judged.
1 Cor. 11
:32
11:32
But being
1judged by the Lord, we are
adisciplined that we may not be
2bcondemned with the world.
1 Cor. 11
:33
11:33
So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat,
1wait for one another.
1 Cor. 11
:34
11:34
If anyone is hungry, let him eat at
ahome, that you may not
bcome together for judgment. And the
1rest I will set in order when I come.
