Vấn Đề Thờ Phượng

11 Hãy bắt chước tôi, như chính tôi bắt chước Chúa Cứu Thế. 2 Tôi khen ngợi anh chị em vì anh chị em đã nhớ tất cả những gì tôi truyền dạy cho anh chị em và cẩn thận gìn giữ những truyền thống ấy.

3 Nhưng tôi muốn anh chị em biết rằng Chúa Cứu Thế là đầu của tất cả đàn ông, người đàn ông là đầu của đàn bà và Đức Chúa Trời là đầu của Chúa Cứu Thế. 4 Mỗi người đàn ông khi cầu nguyện hay nói tiên tri mà trùm đầu tức là làm nhục đầu mình. 5 Nhưng đàn bà khi cầu nguyện hay nói tiên tri mà không trùm đầu tức là làm nhục đầu mình. 6 Vì nếu đàn bà không che đầu thì hãy hớt tóc đi. Nhưng nếu đàn bà hớt tóc hay cạo đầu là việc hổ thẹn thì hãy che đầu lại. 7 Vì thật ra đàn ông không nên che đầu vì từ ban đầu họ là hình ảnh và vinh quang của Đức Chúa Trời. Còn đàn bà là vinh quang của đàn ông. 8 Vì đàn ông không phải được tạo dựng từ đàn bà nhưng đàn bà từ đàn ông. 9 Và đàn ông không phải được tạo dựng cho đàn bà nhưng đàn bà cho đàn ông. 10 Bởi đó vì các thiên sứ, phụ nữ nên mang trên đầu một dấu hiệu của uy quyền.

11 Tuy nhiên trong Chúa đàn bà không thể sống độc lập với đàn ông và đàn ông cũng không thể độc lập với đàn bà. 12 Vì như đàn bà được tạo dựng từ đàn ông thì đàn ông cũng do đàn bà sinh ra, và tất cả đều từ Đức Chúa Trời mà ra. 13 Anh chị em hãy tự xét về điều này: Đàn bà có nên che đầu khi cầu nguyện với Đức Chúa Trời hay không? 14 Có phải bản chất tự nhiên dạy anh chị em rằng: Nếu đàn ông để tóc dài tức là tự làm nhục mình, 15 còn đàn bà để tóc dài lại là xinh đẹp hay sao? Vì tóc dài là để thay thế cho khăn che đầu. 16 Nhưng nếu có ai tranh luận về vấn đề này thì chúng tôi không có tập tục ấy và các Hội Thánh của Đức Chúa Trời cũng không có như thế.

Các Nan Đề Khi Dự Tiệc Thánh

17 Còn về những điều sau đây, tôi không khen ngợi anh chị em được vì những buổi nhóm họp của anh chị em không đem lại lợi ích nhưng chỉ hại thêm. 18 Trước hết tôi nghe rằng có sự chia rẽ khi anh chị em nhóm họp thờ phượng. Tôi cũng tin một phần nào. 19 Vì phải có sự khác biệt giữa vòng anh chị em để nhận ra những người chân thật.[a] 20 Khi anh chị em nhóm họp một chỗ, anh chị em không dự tiệc thánh của Chúa. 21 Vì khi dự tiệc, mỗi người cứ ăn trước phần ăn của mình cho nên người thì đói, kẻ thì no say. 22 Anh chị em không có nhà riêng để ăn uống sao? Hay anh chị em khinh bỉ Hội Thánh của Đức Chúa Trời và coi thường người thiếu thốn? Tôi phải nói gì với anh chị em? Tôi có nên khen anh chị em không? Không! Tôi không khen anh chị em về vấn đề này đâu.

23 Vì điều tôi đã nhận từ nơi Chúa, tôi truyền cho anh chị em. Ấy là trong đêm Chúa Giê-su bị phản bội, Ngài lấy bánh; 24 sau khi tạ ơn, bẻ ra và phán: Đây là thân thể Ta hy sinh vì các con. Hãy làm điều này để nhớ đến Ta. 25 Cũng vậy, sau khi ăn Ngài lấy chén và phán: Chén này là giao ước mới trong huyết Ta. Mỗi khi các con uống, hãy làm điều này để nhớ đến Ta. 26 Vì mỗi khi các con ăn bánh và uống chén này hãy truyền bá sự chết của Chúa cho đến khi Ngài đến.

27 Vì thế, ai ăn bánh và uống chén của Chúa một cách không xứng đáng sẽ mắc tội với thân và huyết của Chúa. 28 Mỗi người nên xét chính mình, khi ăn bánh và uống chén này. 29 Vì người nào ăn hoặc uống mà không phân biệt thân Chúa tức là ăn và uống sự phán xét cho mình. 30 Vì vậy, trong anh chị em có nhiều người đau yếu, bệnh tật và một số chết. 31 Nếu chúng ta tự xét mình, chúng ta sẽ không bị đoán xét. 32 Nhưng khi chúng ta bị Chúa xét đoán để sửa phạt, chúng ta sẽ khỏi bị hình phạt chung với thế gian.

33 Thế thì, anh chị em của tôi, khi nhóm họp để dự tiệc thánh hãy chờ đợi nhau. 34 Nếu có ai đói, hãy ăn ở nhà hầu cho anh chị em nhóm họp không phải để bị đoán phạt. Còn nhiều điều khác khi tôi đến sẽ giải quyết.

Christian Order

11 Imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.

2 I praise and appreciate you because you remember me in everything and you firmly hold to the [a]traditions [the substance of my instructions], just as I have passed them on to you. 3 But I want you to understand that Christ is the head (authority over) of every man, and man is the head of woman, and God is the head of Christ. 4 Every man who prays or [b]prophesies with something on his head dishonors his head [and the One who is his head]. 5 And every woman who prays or prophesies when she has her [c]head uncovered disgraces her head; for she is one and the same as the [d]woman whose head is shaved [in disgrace]. 6 If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and [e]if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, she should cover her head. 7 A man ought not have his head covered [during worship], since he is the image and [reflected] glory of God; but the woman is [the expression of] man’s glory.(A) 8 For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man;(B) 9 for indeed man was not created for the sake of woman, but woman for the sake of man.(C) 10 Therefore the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, [f]for the sake of the angels [so as not to offend them]. 11 Nevertheless, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. 12 For as the woman originates from the man, so also man is born through the woman; and all things [whether male or female] originate from God [as their Creator]. 13 [g]Judge for yourselves; is it proper for a woman to offer prayer to God [publicly] with her head uncovered? 14 Does not common sense itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him, 15 but if a woman has long hair, it is her ornament and glory? For her long hair is given to her as a covering. 16 Now if anyone is inclined to be contentious [about this], we have no other practice [in worship than this], nor do the churches of God [in general].

17 But in giving this next instruction, I do not praise you, because when you meet together it is not for the better but for the worse. 18 For, in the first place, when you meet together in church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and in part I believe it, 19 for [doubtless] there have to be factions among you, so that those who are of approved character may be clearly recognized among you. 20 So when you meet together, it is not to eat the [h]Lord’s Supper, 21 for when you eat, each one hurries to get his own supper first [not waiting for others or the poor]. So one goes hungry while another gets drunk. 22 What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you show contempt for the church of God and humiliate those [impoverished believers] who have nothing? What will I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? In this I will not praise you!

The Lord’s Supper

23 [i]For I received from the Lord Himself that [instruction] which I passed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is (represents) My body, which is [offered as a sacrifice] for you. Do this in [affectionate] remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant [ratified and established] in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in [affectionate] remembrance of Me.” 26 For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are [symbolically] proclaiming [the fact of] the Lord’s death until He comes [again].

27 So then whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in a way that is unworthy [of Him] will be guilty of [profaning and sinning against] the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But a person must [prayerfully] examine himself [and his relationship to Christ], and only when he has done so should he eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For anyone who eats and drinks [without solemn reverence and heartfelt gratitude for the sacrifice of Christ], eats and drinks a judgment on himself if he does not [j]recognize the body [of Christ]. 30 That [careless and unworthy participation] is the reason why many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep [in death]. 31 But if we evaluated and judged ourselves honestly [recognizing our shortcomings and correcting our behavior], we would not be judged. 32 But when we [fall short and] are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined [by undergoing His correction] so that we will not be condemned [to eternal punishment] along with the world.

33 So then, my brothers and sisters, when you come together to eat [the Lord’s Supper], wait for one another [and see to it that no one is left out]. 34 If anyone is too hungry [to wait], let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment [on yourselves]. About the remaining matters [of which I was informed], I will take care of them when I come.

  1. 1 Corinthians 11:2 The following discourse covers appropriate conduct and relationships within the church, as well as within church-related activities.
  2. 1 Corinthians 11:4 The references to men or women prophesying (here and v 5) indicate that Paul has church meetings in mind, where the speaker is leading the congregation in prayer or addressing them.
  3. 1 Corinthians 11:5 In public, respectable women wore their hair done up in a modest style. In the Greco-Roman-Jewish culture of the time, hair worn down and loose would suggest a woman of questionable morals.
  4. 1 Corinthians 11:5 Possibly the mark of an adulteress or prostitute, but likely a sign of disgrace for any number of reasons. In one of Aristophanes’ comedies, for example, head shaving is recommended for a woman whose son is cowardly or otherwise worthless.
  5. 1 Corinthians 11:6 There is little doubt that this would appear disgraceful and embarrassing, but Paul is essentially providing his readers a simple way to determine for themselves if a woman should cover her head while prophesying or leading prayer in church.
  6. 1 Corinthians 11:10 This may be an indication that angels are present at gatherings of believers.
  7. 1 Corinthians 11:13 This verse acknowledges custom as another, separate argument for a woman’s head covering (v 5).
  8. 1 Corinthians 11:20 When Christ instituted the Lord’s Supper (or the Lord’s Table), it was the Passover meal with the special rituals and explanations that He introduced (Matt 26:26 ff; Luke 22:15 ff). The description given here indicates that the early church celebrated the Lord’s Supper in similar fashion by having a full meal (the so-called agape “love” feast) that included the special rites with the bread and wine (see v 21).
  9. 1 Corinthians 11:23 Many scholars believe this may be the first written description of the Lord’s Supper since this letter from Paul is dated earlier than any of the Gospels.
  10. 1 Corinthians 11:29 I.e. respect Christ’s sacrifice and his fellow believers for whom Christ also died.

1 Corinthians 11
New International Version

11 1 Follow my example,(A) as I follow the example of Christ.(B)

On Covering the Head in Worship

2 I praise you(C) for remembering me in everything(D) and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you.(E) 3 But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ,(F) and the head of the woman is man,[a](G) and the head of Christ is God.(H) 4 Every man who prays or prophesies(I) with his head covered dishonors his head. 5 But every woman who prays or prophesies(J) with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved.(K) 6 For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.

7 A man ought not to cover his head,[b] since he is the image(L) and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. 8 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man;(M) 9 neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.(N) 10 It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own[c] head, because of the angels. 11 Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. 12 For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.(O)

13 Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, 15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. 16 If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.(P)

Correcting an Abuse of the Lord’s Supper(Q)

17 In the following directives I have no praise for you,(R) for your meetings do more harm than good. 18 In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions(S) among you, and to some extent I believe it. 19 No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God’s approval.(T) 20 So then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat, 21 for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers.(U) As a result, one person remains hungry and another gets drunk. 22 Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God(V) by humiliating those who have nothing?(W) What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you?(X) Certainly not in this matter!

23 For I received from the Lord(Y) what I also passed on to you:(Z) The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body,(AA) which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant(AB) in my blood;(AC) do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.(AD)

27 So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.(AE) 28 Everyone ought to examine themselves(AF) before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. 29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. 30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.(AG) 31 But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment.(AH) 32 Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined(AI) so that we will not be finally condemned with the world.(AJ)

33 So then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, you should all eat together. 34 Anyone who is hungry(AK) should eat something at home,(AL) so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment.

And when I come(AM) I will give further directions.
