-
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 imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.
- 2 Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you.
- 3 But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.
- 4 Every man who has something on his head while praying or prophesying disgraces his head.
- 5 But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for she is one and the same as the woman whose head is shaved.
- 6 For if a woman does not cover her head, let her also have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her cover her head.
- 7 For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.
- 8 For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man;
- 9 for indeed man was not created for the woman's sake, but woman for the man's sake.
- 10 Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.
- 11 However, in the Lord, neither is woman independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.
- 12 For as the woman originates from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman; and all things originate from God.
- 13 Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
- 14 Does not 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 one is inclined to be contentious, we have no other practice, nor have the churches of God.
- 17 But in giving this instruction, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.
- 18 For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and in part I believe it.
- 19 For there must also be factions among you, so that those who are approved may become evident among you.
- 20 Therefore when you meet together, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper,
- 21 for in your eating each one takes his own supper first; and one is hungry and another is drunk.
- 22 What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you.
- 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 betrayed took bread;
- 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
- 25 In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
- 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes.
- 27 Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
- 28 But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
- 29 For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly.
- 30 For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep.
- 31 But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged.
- 32 But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world.
- 33 So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
- 34 If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment. The remaining matters I will arrange when I come.
