¹ Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

¹ Be ^G1096 ye followers ^G3402 of me, ^G3450 even as ^G2531 I also ^G2504 am of Christ. ^G5547

² Now ^G1161 I praise ^G1867 you, ^G5209 brethren, ^G80 that ^G3754 ye remember ^G3415 me ^G3450 in all things, ^G3956 and ^G2532 keep ^G2722 the ordinances, ^G3862 as ^G2531 I delivered ^G3860 them to you. ^G5213

³ But ^G1161 I would have ^G2309 you ^G5209 know, ^G1492 that ^G3754 the head ^G2776 of every ^G3956 man ^G435 is ^G2076 Christ; ^G5547 and ^G1161 the head ^G2776 of the woman ^G1135 is the man; ^G435 and ^G1161 the head ^G2776 of Christ ^G5547 is God. ^G2316

⁴ Every ^G3956 man ^G435 praying ^G4336 or ^G2228 prophesying, ^G4395 having ^G2192 his head ^G2776 covered, ^G2596 dishonoureth ^G2617 his ^G846 head. ^G2776

⁵ But ^G1161 every ^G3956 woman ^G1135 that prayeth ^G4336 or ^G2228 prophesieth ^G4395 with her head ^G2776 uncovered ^G177 dishonoureth ^G2617 her ^G1438 head: ^G2776 for ^G1063 that is ^G2076 even ^G2532 all one ^G1520 as if ^G846 she were shaven. ^G3587

⁶ For ^G1063 if ^G1487 the woman ^G1135 be ^G2619 not ^G3756 covered, ^G2619 let her ^G2751 also ^G2532 be shorn: ^G2751 but ^G1161 if ^G1487 it be a shame ^G149 for a woman ^G1135 to be shorn ^G2751 or ^G2228 shaven, ^G3587 let her be covered. ^G2619

⁷ For ^G1063 a man ^G435 indeed ^G3303 ought ^G3784 not ^G3756 to cover ^G2619 his head, ^G2776 forasmuch as he is ^G5225 the image ^G1504 and ^G2532 glory ^G1391 of God: ^G2316 but ^G1161 the woman ^G1135 is ^G2076 the glory ^G1391 of the man. ^G435

⁸ For ^G1063 the man ^G435 is ^G2076 not ^G3756 of ^G1537 the woman; ^G1135 but ^G235 the woman ^G1135 of ^G1537 the man. ^G435

^{9 G1063 G2532} Neither ^G3756 was ^G2936 the man ^G435 created ^G2936 for ^G1223 the woman; ^G1135 but ^G235 the woman ^G1135 for ^G1223 the man. ^G435

¹⁰ For this ^G5124 cause ^G1223 ought ^G3784 the woman ^G1135 to have ^G2192 power ^G1849 on ^G1909 her head ^G2776 because ^G1223 of the angels. ^G32

¹¹ Nevertheless ^G4133 neither ^G3777 is the man ^G435 without ^G5565 the woman, ^G1135 neither ^G3777 the woman ^G1135 without ^G5565 the man, ^G435 in ^G1722 the Lord. ^G2962

¹² For ^G1063 as ^G5618 the woman ^G1135 is of ^G1537 the man, ^G435 even so ^G3779 is the man ^G435 also ^G2532 by ^G1223 the woman; ^G1135 but ^G1161 all things ^G3956 of ^G1537 God. ^G2316

¹³ Judge ^G2919 in ^G1722 yourselves: ^{G5213 G846} is it ^G2076 comely ^G4241 that a woman ^G1135 pray ^G4336 unto God ^G2316 uncovered? ^G177

¹⁴ Doth ^G2228 not even ^G3761 nature ^G5449 itself ^G846 teach ^G1321 you, ^G5209 that, ^G3754 if ^{G1437 G3303} a man ^G435 have long hair, ^G2863 it is ^G2076 a shame ^G819 unto him? ^G846

¹⁵ But ^G1161 if ^G1437 a woman ^G1135 have long hair, ^G2863 it is ^G2076 a glory ^G1391 to her: ^G846 for ^G3754 her hair ^G2864 is given ^G1325 her ^G846 for ^G473 a covering. ^G4018

¹⁶ But ^G1161 if any man ^G1536 seem ^G1380 to be ^G1511 contentious, ^G5380 we ^G2249 have ^G2192 no ^G3756 such ^G5108 custom, ^G4914 neither ^G3761 the churches ^G1577 of God. ^G2316

¹⁷ Now ^G1161 in this ^G5124 that I declare ^G3853 unto you I praise ^G1867 you not, ^G3756 that ^G3754 ye come together ^G4905 not ^G3756 for ^G1519 the better, ^G2909 but ^G235 for ^G1519 the worse. ^G2276

¹⁸ For ^{G1063 G3303} first of all, ^G4412 when ye ^G5216 come together ^G4905 in ^G1722 the church, ^G1577 I hear ^G191 that there be ^G5225 divisions ^G4978 among ^G1722 you; ^G5213 and ^G2532 I partly ^G3313 believe ^G4100 it. ^G5100

¹⁹ For ^G1063 there must ^G1163 be ^G1511 also ^G2532 heresies ^G139 among ^G1722 you, ^G5213 that ^G2443 they which are approved ^G1384 may be made ^G1096 manifest ^G5318 among ^G1722 you. ^G5213

²⁰ When ye ^G5216 come together ^G4905 therefore ^G3767 into ^G1909 one place, ^G846 this is ^G2076 not ^G3756 to eat ^G5315 the Lord's ^G2960 supper. ^G1173

²¹ For ^G1063 in ^G1722 eating ^G5315 every one ^G1538 taketh before ^G4301 other his own ^G2398 supper: ^G1173 and ^G2532 one ^{G3739 G3303} is hungry, ^G3983 and ^G1161 another ^G3739 is drunken. ^G3184

²² What? ^G1063 have ye ^G2192 not ^G3378 houses ^G3614 to eat ^G2068 and ^G2532 to drink ^G4095 in? ^G1519 or ^G2228 despise ye ^G2706 the church ^G1577 of God, ^G2316 and ^G2532 shame ^G2617 them that have ^G2192 not? ^G3361 What ^G5101 shall I say ^G2036 to you? ^G5213 shall I praise ^G1867 you ^G5209 in ^G1722 this? ^G5129 I praise ^G1867 you not. ^G3756

²³ For ^G1063 I ^G1473 have received ^G3880 of ^G575 the Lord ^G2962 that which ^G3739 also ^G2532 I delivered ^G3860 unto you, ^G5213 That ^G3754 the Lord ^G2962 Jesus ^G2424 the same night ^G3571 in ^G1722 which ^G3739 he was betrayed ^G3860 took ^G2983 bread: ^G740

²⁴ And ^G2532 when he had given thanks, ^G2168 he brake ^G2806 it, and ^G2532 said, ^G2036 Take, ^G2983 eat: ^G5315 this ^G5124 is ^G2076 my ^G3450 body, ^G4983 which ^G3588 is broken ^G2806 for ^G5228 you: ^G5216 this ^G5124 do ^G4160 in ^G1519 remembrance ^G364 of me. ^G1699

²⁵ After the same manner ^G5615 also ^G2532 he took the cup, ^G4221 when ^G3326 he had supped, ^G1172 saying, ^G3004 This ^G5124 cup ^G4221 is ^G2076 the new ^G2537 testament ^G1242 in ^G1722 my ^G1699 blood: ^G129 this ^G5124 do ye, ^G4160 as oft as ^{G3740 G302} ye drink ^G4095 it, in ^G1519 remembrance ^G364 of me. ^G1699

²⁶ For ^G1063 as often as ^{G302 G3740} ye eat ^G2068 this ^G5126 bread, ^G740 and ^G2532 drink ^G4095 this ^G5124 cup, ^G4221 ye do shew ^G2605 the Lord's ^G2962 death ^G2288 till ^{G891 G302} he ^G3739 come. ^G2064

²⁷ Wherefore ^G5620 whosoever ^{G3739 G302} shall eat ^G2068 this ^G5126 bread, ^G740 and ^G2228 drink ^G4095 this cup ^G4221 of the Lord, ^G2962 unworthily, ^G371 shall be ^G2071 guilty ^G1777 of the body ^G4983 and ^G2532 blood ^G129 of the Lord. ^G2962

²⁸ But ^G1161 let ^G1381 a man ^G444 examine ^G1381 himself, ^G1438 and ^G2532 so ^G3779 let him eat ^G2068 of ^G1537 that bread, ^G740 and ^G2532 drink ^G4095 of ^G1537 that cup. ^G4221

²⁹ For ^G1063 he that eateth ^G2068 and ^G2532 drinketh ^G4095 unworthily, ^G371 eateth ^G2068 and ^G2532 drinketh ^G4095 damnation ^G2917 to himself, ^G1438 not ^G3361 discerning ^G1252 the Lord's ^G2962 body. ^G4983

³⁰ For ^G1223 this ^G5124 cause ^G1223 many ^G4183 are weak ^G772 and ^G2532 sickly ^G732 among ^G1722 you, ^G5213 and ^G2532 many ^G2425 sleep. ^G2837

³¹ For ^G1063 if ^G1487 we would judge ^G1252 ourselves, ^G1438 we should ^G302 not ^G3756 be judged. ^G2919

³² But ^G1161 when we are judged, ^G2919 we are chastened ^G3811 of ^G5259 the Lord, ^G2962 that ^G3363 we should ^G2632 not ^G3363 be condemned ^G2632 with ^G4862 the world. ^G2889

³³ Wherefore, ^G5620 my ^G3450 brethren, ^G80 when ye come together ^G4905 to ^G1519 eat, ^G5315 tarry ^G1551 one for another. ^G240

³⁴ And ^G1161 if any man ^G1536 hunger, ^G3983 let him eat ^G2068 at ^G1722 home; ^G3624 that ^G3363 ye come ^G4905 not ^G3363 together ^G4905 unto ^G1519 condemnation. ^G2917 And ^G1161 the rest ^G3062 will I set in order ^G1299 when ^{G5613 G302} I come. ^G2064

---

¹ Be ye imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.

² Now I praise you that ye remember me in all things, and hold fast the traditions, even 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, dishonoreth his head.

⁵ But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonoreth her head; for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven.

⁶ For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.

⁷ For a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled, 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 for neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man:

¹⁰ for this cause ought the woman to have `a sign of' authority on her head, because of the angels.

¹¹ Nevertheless, neither is the woman without the man, nor the man without the woman, in the Lord.

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

¹³ Judge ye in yourselves: is it seemly that a woman pray unto God unveiled?

¹⁴ Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a dishonor to 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 seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

¹⁷ But in giving you this charge, 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 divisions exist among you; and I partly believe it.

¹⁹ For there must be also factions among you, that they that are approved may be made manifest among you.

²⁰ When therefore ye assemble yourselves together, it is not possible to eat the Lord's supper:

²¹ for in your eating each one taketh before `other' his own supper; and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

²² What, have ye not 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? shall I praise you? In this I praise you not.

²³ For I received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread;

²⁴ and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, This is my body, which is for you: this do in remembrance of me.

²⁵ In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye drink `it', in remembrance of me.

²⁶ For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye proclaim the Lord's death till he come.

²⁷ Wherefore whosoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

²⁸ But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

²⁹ For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body.

³⁰ For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.

³¹ But if we discerned ourselves, we should not be judged.

³² But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

³³ Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait one for another.

³⁴ If any man is hungry, let him eat at home; that your coming together be not unto judgment. And the rest will I set in order whensoever I come.

---

¹ Followers of me become ye, as I also `am' of Christ.

² And I praise you, brethren, that in all things ye remember me, and according as I did deliver to you, the deliverances ye keep,

³ and I wish you to know that of every man the head is the Christ, and the head of a woman is the husband, and the head of Christ is God.

⁴ Every man praying or prophesying, having the head covered, doth dishonour his head,

⁵ and every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered, doth dishonour her own head, for it is one and the same thing with her being shaven,

⁶ for if a woman is not covered -- then let her be shorn, and if `it is' a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven -- let her be covered;

⁷ for a man, indeed, ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God, and a woman is the glory of a man,

⁸ for a man is not of a woman, but a woman `is' of a man,

⁹ for a man also was not created because of the woman, but a woman because of the man;

¹⁰ because of this the woman ought to have `a token of' authority upon the head, because of the messengers;

¹¹ but neither `is' a man apart from a woman, nor a woman apart from a man, in the Lord,

¹² for as the woman `is' of the man, so also the man `is' through the woman, and the all things `are' of God.

¹³ In your own selves judge ye; is it seemly for a woman uncovered to pray to God?

¹⁴ doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man indeed have long hair, a dishonour it is to him?

¹⁵ and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her;

¹⁶ and if any one doth think to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the assemblies of God.

¹⁷ And this declaring, I give no praise, because not for the better, but for the worse ye come together;

¹⁸ for first, indeed, ye coming together in an assembly, I hear of divisions being among you, and partly I believe `it',

¹⁹ for it behoveth sects also to be among you, that those approved may become manifest among you;

²⁰ ye, then, coming together at the same place -- it is not to eat the Lord's supper;

²¹ for each his own supper doth take before in the eating, and one is hungry, and another is drunk;

²² why, have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or the assembly of God do ye despise, and shame those not having? what may I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I do not praise!

²³ For I -- I received from the Lord that which also I did deliver to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread,

²⁴ and having given thanks, he brake, and said, `Take ye, eat ye, this is my body, that for you is being broken; this do ye -- to the remembrance of me.'

²⁵ In like manner also the cup after the supping, saying, `This cup is the new covenant in my blood; this do ye, as often as ye may drink `it' -- to the remembrance of me;'

²⁶ for as often as ye may eat this bread, and this cup may drink, the death of the Lord ye do shew forth -- till he may come;

²⁷ so that whoever may eat this bread or may drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, guilty he shall be of the body and blood of the Lord:

²⁸ and let a man be proving himself, and so of the bread let him eat, and of the cup let him drink;

²⁹ for he who is eating and drinking unworthily, judgment to himself he doth eat and drink -- not discerning the body of the Lord.

³⁰ Because of this, among you many `are' weak and sickly, and sleep do many;

³¹ for if ourselves we were discerning, we would not be being judged,

³² and being judged by the Lord, we are chastened, that with the world we may not be condemned;

³³ so then, my brethren, coming together to eat, for one another wait ye;

³⁴ and if any one is hungry, at home let him eat, that to judgment ye may not come together; and the rest, whenever I may come, I shall arrange.

---

¹ Be my imitators, even as *I* also [am] of Christ.

² Now I praise you, that in all things ye are mindful of me; and that as I have directed you, ye keep the directions.

³ But I wish you to know that the Christ is the head of every man, but woman's head [is] the man, and the Christ's head God.

⁴ Every man praying or prophesying, having [anything] on his head, puts his head to shame.

⁵ But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered puts her own head to shame; for it is one and the same as a shaved [woman].

⁶ For if a woman be not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if [it be] shameful to a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, let her be covered.

⁷ For man indeed ought not to have his head covered, being God's image and glory; but woman is man's glory.

⁸ For man is not of woman, but woman of man.

⁹ For also man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake of the man.

¹⁰ Therefore ought the woman to have authority on her head, on account of the angels.

¹¹ However, neither [is] woman without man, nor man without woman, in [the] Lord.

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

¹³ Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman should pray to God uncovered?

¹⁴ Does not even nature itself teach you, that man, if he have long hair, it is a dishonour to him?

¹⁵ But woman, if she have long hair, [it is] glory to her; for the long hair is given [to her] in lieu of a veil.

¹⁶ But if any one think to be contentious, *we* have no such custom, nor the assemblies of God.

¹⁷ But [in] prescribing [to you on] this [which I now enter on], I do not praise, [namely,] that ye come together, not for the better, but for the worse.

¹⁸ For first, when ye come together in assembly, I hear there exist divisions among you, and I partly give credit [to it].

¹⁹ For there must also be sects among you, that the approved may become manifest among you.

²⁰ When ye come therefore together into one place, it is not to eat [the] Lord's supper.

²¹ For each one in eating takes his *own* supper before [others], and one is hungry and another drinks to excess.

²² Have ye not then houses for eating and drinking? or do ye despise the assembly of God, and put to shame them who have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this [point] I do not praise.

²³ For *I* received from the Lord, that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread,

²⁴ and having given thanks broke [it], and said, This is my body, which [is] for you: this do in remembrance of me.

²⁵ In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye shall drink [it], in remembrance of me.

²⁶ For as often as ye shall eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye announce the death of the Lord, until he come.

²⁷ So that whosoever shall eat the bread, or drink the cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty in respect of the body and of the blood of the Lord.

²⁸ But let a man prove himself, and thus eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

²⁹ For [the] eater and drinker eats and drinks judgment to himself, not distinguishing the body.

³⁰ On this account many among you [are] weak and infirm, and a good many are fallen asleep.

³¹ But if we judged ourselves, so were we not judged.

³² But being judged, we are disciplined of [the] Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

³³ So that, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait for one another.

³⁴ If any one be hungry, let him eat at home, that ye may not come together for judgment. But the other things, whenever I come, I will set in order.

---

¹ Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.

² Now I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even 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, dishonors his head.

⁵ But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.

⁶ For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.

⁷ For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.

⁸ For man is not from woman, but woman from man;

⁹ for neither was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.

¹⁰ For this cause the woman ought to have authority on her head, because of the angels.

¹¹ Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord.

¹² For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.

¹³ Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?

¹⁴ Doesn't even nature 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 a glory to her, for her hair is given to her for a covering.

¹⁶ But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God's assemblies.

¹⁷ But in giving you this command, I don't praise you, that you come together not for the better but for the worse.

¹⁸ For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist among you, and I partly believe it.

¹⁹ For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.

²⁰ When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not possible to eat the Lord's supper.

²¹ For in your eating each one takes his own supper before others. One is hungry, and another is drunken.

²² What, don't you have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise God's assembly, and put them to shame who don't have? What shall I tell you? Shall I praise you? In this I don't praise you.

²³ For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread.

²⁴ When he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "Take, eat. This is my body, which is broken for you. Do this in memory of me."

²⁵ In the same way he also took the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink, in memory of me."

²⁶ For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

²⁷ Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord's cup in a manner unworthy of the Lord will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

²⁸ But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

²⁹ For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he doesn't discern the Lord's body.

³⁰ For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.

³¹ For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn't be judged.

³² But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

³³ Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait one for another.

³⁴ But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.

---

¹ So take me for your example, even as I take Christ for mine.

² Now I am pleased to see that you keep me in memory in all things, and that you give attention to the teaching which was handed down from me to you.

³ But it is important for you to keep this fact in mind, 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 who takes part in prayer, or gives teaching as a prophet, with his head covered, puts shame on his head.

⁵ But every woman who does so with her head unveiled, puts shame on her head: for it is the same as if her hair was cut off.

⁶ For if a woman is not veiled, let her hair be cut off; but if it is a shame to a woman to have her hair cut off, let her be veiled.

⁷ For it is not right for a man to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

⁸ For the man did not come from the woman, but the woman from the man.

⁹ And the man was not made for the woman, but the woman for the man.

¹⁰ For this reason it is right for the woman to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.

¹¹ But the woman is not separate from the man, and the man is not separate from the woman in the Lord.

¹² For as the woman is from the man, so the man is through the woman; but all things are from God.

¹³ Be judges yourselves of the question: does it seem right for a woman to take part in prayer unveiled?

¹⁴ Does it not seem natural to you that if a man has long hair, it is a cause of shame to him?

¹⁵ But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given to her for a covering.

¹⁶ But if any man will not be ruled in this question, this is not our way of doing things, and it is not done in the churches of God.

¹⁷ But in giving you this order, there is one thing about which I am not pleased: it is that when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.

¹⁸ For first of all, it has come to my ears that when you come together in the church, there are divisions among you, and I take the statement to be true in part.

¹⁹ For divisions are necessary among you, in order that those who have God's approval may be clearly seen among you.

²⁰ But now, when you come together, it is not possible to take the holy meal of the Lord:

²¹ For when you take your food, everyone takes his meal before the other; and one has not enough food, and another is the worse for drink.

²² What? have you not houses to take your meals in? or have you no respect for the church of God, putting the poor to shame? What am I to say to you? am I to give you praise? certainly not.

²³ For it was handed down to me from the Lord, as I gave it to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night when Judas was false to him, took bread,

²⁴ And when it had been broken with an act of praise, he said, This is my body which is for you: do this in memory of me.

²⁵ In the same way, with the cup, after the meal, he said, This cup is the new testament in my blood: do this, whenever you take it, in memory of me.

²⁶ For whenever you take the bread and the cup you give witness to the Lord's death till he comes.

²⁷ If, then, anyone takes the bread or the cup of the Lord in the wrong spirit, he will be responsible for the body and blood of the Lord.

²⁸ But let no man take of the bread and the cup without testing himself.

²⁹ For a man puts himself in danger, if he takes part in the holy meal without being conscious that it is the Lord's body.

³⁰ For this cause a number of you are feeble and ill, and a number are dead.

³¹ But if we were true judges of ourselves, punishment would not come on us.

³² But if punishment does come, it is sent by the Lord, so that we may be safe when the world is judged.

³³ So then, my brothers, when you come together to the holy meal of the Lord, let there be waiting for one another.

³⁴ If any man is in need of food, let him take his meal in his house; so that you may not come together to your damage. And the rest I will put in order when I come.
