Daily Bible Reading and Prayer, KJV, May 10-Nov 9, 2018, Acts to Hebrews

August 3, 1 Cor 11

I'm thinking about doing a psalm also when I have time, what are your thoughts?

1 Corinthians 11:1-34 KJV
[1] Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
We should follow our spiritual shepherds as they follow Christ.
[2] Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
[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.
[4] Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
[5] But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
[6] For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
Some people use theses verses to say that Christian women should cover their heads but if you read further it says that a woman's hair is her covering.
[7] For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
[8] For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
[9] Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
[10] For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
[11] Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
Even though the woman was made for the man and is under the man they are both equal in the Lord.
[12] For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
You cannot have men without women or women without men.
[13] Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
[14] Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
[15] But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
[16] But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
[17] Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.
[18] For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
[19] For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
[20] When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.
[21] For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
The Lord's supper is a sacred sacrament, do not abuse it!
[22] What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
[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:
[24] And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
[25] After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
[26] For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
[27] Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
[28] But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
In my church not only do you have to examine yourself before partaking of the Lord's supper, you have to do a Bible study with the pastor and confess to the whole church that you you believe the Bible(you only have to do this once though), and if you are a visitor you have to ask the elders a week before.
[29] For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
[30] For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
[31] For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
[32] But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
[33] Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.
[34] And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

Dear Lord, You alone are awesome and amazing, Thank you so much for everything You have done for us. Thank You for being the head of man and thank You for making man the head of women. Please help men learn to be submissive to You and women be submissive to You and man. Thank You for the Lord's supper, please remind us to not think of it lightly and take it for granted. Please be with everyone in my prayer journal, especially my parents and brothers. Thank you that their arguments so far have not been really bad, please continue to grant relative peace here, in Jesus's name, Amen
