11:1 Imitatores mei estote, sicut et ego Christi.

11:1 Be ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ.

11:2 Laudo autem vos fratres quod per omnia mei memores estis : et sicut tradidi vobis, præcepta mea tenetis.

11:2 Now I praise you, brethren, that in all things you are mindful of me and keep my ordinances as I have delivered them to you.

11:3 Volo autem vos scire quod omnis viri caput, Christus est : caput autem mulieris, vir : caput vero Christi, Deus.

11:3 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.

11:4 Omnis vir orans, aut prophetans velato capite, deturpat caput suum.

11:4 Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered disgraceth his head.

11:5 Omnis autem mulier orans, aut prophetans non velato capite, deturpat caput suum : unum enim est ac si decalvetur.

11:5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered disgraceth her head: for it is all one as if she were shaven.

11:6 Nam si non velatur mulier, tondeatur. Si vero turpe est mulieri tonderi, aut decalvari, velet caput suum.

11:6 For if a woman be not covered, let her be shorn. But if it be a shame to a woman to be shorn or made bald, let her cover her head.

11:7 Vir quidem non debet velare caput suum : quoniam imago et gloria Dei est, mulier autem gloria viri est.

11:7 The man indeed ought not to cover his head: because he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.

11:8 Non enim vir ex muliere est, sed mulier ex viro.

11:8 For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.

11:9 Etenim non est creatus vir propter mulierem, sed mulier propter virum.

11:9 For the man was not created for the woman: but the woman for the man.

11:10 Ideo debet mulier potestatem habere supra caput propter angelos.

11:10 Therefore ought the woman to have a power over her head, because of the angels.

11:11 Verumtamen neque vir sine muliere : neque mulier sine viro in Domino.

11:11 But yet neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in the Lord.

11:12 Nam sicut mulier de viro, ita et vir per mulierem : omnia autem ex Deo.

11:12 For as the woman is of the man, so also is the man by the woman: but all things of God.

11:13 Vos ipsi judicate : decet mulierem non velatam orare Deum ?

11:13 You yourselves judge. Doth it become a woman to pray unto God uncovered?

11:14 Nec ipsa natura docet vos, quod vir quidem si comam nutriat, ignominia est illi :

11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you that a man indeed, if he nourish his hair, it is a shame unto him?

11:15 mulier vero si comam nutriat, gloria est illi : quoniam capilli pro velamine ei dati sunt.

11:15 But if a woman nourish her hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering.

11:16 Si quis autem videtur contentiosus esse : nos talem consuetudinem non habemus, neque ecclesia Dei.

11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the Church of God.

11:17 Hoc autem præcipio : non laudans quod non in melius, sed in deterius convenitis.

11:17 Now this I ordain: not praising you, that you come together, not for the better, but for the worse.

11:18 Primum quidem convenientibus vobis in ecclesiam, audio scissuras esse inter vos, et ex parte credo.

11:18 For first of all I hear that when you come together in the church, there are schisms among you. And in part I believe it.

11:19 Nam oportet et hæreses esse, ut et qui probati sunt, manifesti fiant in vobis.

11:19 For there must be also heresies: that they also, who are approved may be made manifest among you.

11:20 Convenientibus ergo vobis in unum, jam non est Dominicam cœnam manducare.

11:20 When you come therefore together into one place, it is not now to eat the Lord's supper.

11:21 Unusquisque enim suam cœnam præsumit ad manducandum, et alius quidem esurit, alius autem ebrius est.

11:21 For every one taketh before his own supper to eat. And one indeed is hungry and another is drunk.

11:22 Numquid domos non habetis ad manducandum, et bibendum ? aut ecclesiam Dei contemnitis, et confunditis eos qui non habent ? Quid dicam vobis ? laudo vos ? in hoc non laudo.

11:22 What, have you no houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? Do I praise you? In this I praise you not.

11:23 Ego enim accepi a Domino quod et tradidi vobis, quoniam Dominus Jesus in qua nocte tradebatur, accepit panem,

11:23 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,

11:24 et gratias agens fregit, et dixit : Accipite, et manducate : hoc est corpus meum, quod pro vobis tradetur : hoc facite in meam commemorationem.

11:24 And giving thanks, broke and said: Take ye and eat: This is my body, which shall be delivered for you. This do for the commemoration of me.

11:25 Similiter et calicem, postquam cœnavit, dicens : Hic calix novum testamentum est in meo sanguine : hoc facite quotiescumque bibetis, in meam commemorationem.

11:25 In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood. This do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me.

11:26 Quotiescumque enim manducabitis panem hunc, et calicem bibetis, mortem Domini annuntiabitis donec veniat.

11:26 For as often as you shall eat this bread and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come.

11:27 Itaque quicumque manducaverit panem hunc, vel biberit calicem Domini indigne, reus erit corporis et sanguinis Domini.

11:27 Therefore, whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.

11:28 Probet autem seipsum homo : et sic de pane illo edat, et de calice bibat.

11:28 But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread and drink of the chalice.

11:29 Qui enim manducat et bibit indigne, judicium sibi manducat et bibit, non dijudicans corpus Domini.

11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.

11:30 Ideo inter vos multi infirmi et imbecilles, et dormiunt multi.

11:30 Therefore are there many infirm and weak among you: and many sleep.

11:31 Quod si nosmetipsos dijudicaremus, non utique judicaremur.

11:31 But if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

11:32 Dum judicamur autem, a Domino corripimur, ut non cum hoc mundo damnemur.

11:32 But whilst we are judged, we are chastised by the Lord, that we be not condemned with this world.

11:33 Itaque fratres mei, cum convenitis ad manducandum, invicem exspectate.

11:33 Wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

11:34 Si quis esurit, domi manducet, ut non in judicium conveniatis. Cetera autem, cum venero, disponam.

11:34 If any man be hungry, let him eat at home; that you come not together unto judgment. And the rest I will set in order, when I come.
