The Great Bible 1539
| 11:1 | Be ye the folowers of me, as I am the folower of Christ. |
| 11:2 | I commende you brethren, that ye remember me in all thynges, and kepe the ordinaunces, euen as I delyuered them to you. |
| 11:3 | But I wolde haue you to knowe, that Christ is the heed of euery man. And the man is the womans heed. And God is Christes heed. |
| 11:4 | Euery man prayinge or prophesyinge hauing eny thynge on his heed, shameth his heed. |
| 11:5 | Euery woman that prayeth or prophesyeth bare headed, dishonesteth hyr head. For that is euen all one, as yf she were shauen. |
| 11:6 | If the woman be not couered, let her also be shoren. If it be shame for a woman to be shorne or shauen, let her couer her heed. |
| 11:7 | A man ought not to couer his heed, for as moch as he is the ymage and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man. |
| 11:8 | For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. |
| 11:9 | Nether was the man created for the womans sake: but the woman for the mannes sake. |
| 11:10 | For this cause ought the woman to haue power on her heed, for the angels sakes: |
| 11:11 | Neuerthelesse, nether is the man with out the woman. nether the woman without the man in the Lorde. |
| 11:12 | For as the woman is of the man, euen so is the man: by the woman: but all of God. |
| 11:13 | Iudge in youre selues, whether it be comly that a woman praye vnto God bare heeded. |
| 11:14 | Doth not nature it selfe teach you, that it is a shame for a man, |
| 11:15 | yf he haue longe heere: and a prayse to a woman: yf she haue longe heer. For hyr heer is geuen her to couer her withall. |
| 11:16 | If any man luste to stryue, we haue no soch custome, nether the congregacyons of God. |
| 11:17 | This I warne you of, and commende not, that ye come not together after a better maner, but after a worsse. |
| 11:18 | For fyrst of all when ye come together in the congregacion, I heare that there is dyssencyon amonge you: and I partely beleue it. |
| 11:19 | For ther must be sectes amonge you, that they which are perfect amonge you, myght be knowen |
| 11:20 | When ye come to gether therfore into one place, the Lordes supper can not be eaten. For euery man begynneth afore to eate his awne supper. |
| 11:21 | And one is hongry, and another is droncken. Haue ye not houses to eate and to drincke in? |
| 11:22 | Despyse ye the congregacion of God, and shame them that haue not? What shall I saye vnto you? shal I prayse you? In this prayse I you not. |
| 11:23 | That which I delyuered vnto you, I receaued of the Lorde. For the Lorde Iesus the same nyght, in which he was betrayed, toke breed: |
| 11:24 | and whan he had geuen thankes, he brake it and sayde: Take ye, and eate: this is my body, whych is broken for you. This do ye in the remembraunce of me. |
| 11:25 | After the same maner also he toke the cup, when supper was done, sayinge: This cuppe is the new testament in my bloude. Thys do as oft as ye dryncke it, in remembraunce of me. |
| 11:26 | For as often as ye shall eate this breed, and drincke this cup: ye shall shewe the Lordes deeth tyll he come. |
| 11:27 | Wherfore, whosoeuer, shall eate of this bread, or dryncke of the cup of the Lorde vnworthely, shalbe gyltye of the body and bloud of the Lorde. |
| 11:28 | But let a man examen him selfe, and so let him eate of the breed, and drincke of the cup. |
| 11:29 | For he that eateth or dryncketh vnworthely, eateth and dryncketh his awne damnacyon, because he maketh no difference of the Lordes body. |
| 11:30 | For this cause many are weake and sycke amonge you, and many slepe. |
| 11:31 | For If we had iudged oure selues, we shuld not haue bene iudged. |
| 11:32 | But when we are iudged of the Lorde, we are chastened, that we shulde not be damned with the worlde. |
| 11:33 | Wherfore my brethren when ye come together to eate, tary one for another. |
| 11:34 | If any man honger, let him eate at home, that ye come not together vnto condemnacyon. Other thynges will I set in order, when I come. |
The Great Bible 1539
The Great Bible of 1539 was the first authorized edition of the Bible in English, authorized by King Henry VIII of England to be read aloud in the church services of the Church of England. The Great Bible was prepared by Myles Coverdale, working under commission of Thomas, Lord Cromwell, Secretary to Henry VIII and Vicar General. In 1538, Cromwell directed the clergy to provide "one book of the bible of the largest volume in English, and the same set up in some convenient place within the said church that ye have care of, whereas your parishioners may most commodiously resort to the same and read it."
