¹ Be you followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. ² Now I praise you, brothers, that you 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, disgraces his head. ⁵ But every woman that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered disgraces 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 should not to cover his head, since 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 should 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 proper that a woman pray to God uncovered? ¹⁴ Does not even nature itself teach you, that, if+ a man have long hair, it is a shame 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 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 you come together not for the better, but for the worse. ¹⁸ For+ first of all, when you 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 reveal among you. ²⁰ When you come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper. ²¹ For in eating every one takes before other his own supper: and one+ is hungry, and another is drunken. ²² What? have you not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise you the church of God, and shame them that have not? What will I say to you? will I praise you in this? I praise you not. ²³ For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to 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 you, as oft as+ you drink it, in remembrance of me. ²⁶ For as often as+ you eat this bread, and drink this cup, you do show the Lord's death till+ he come. ²⁷ why whoever+ will eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, will 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 eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks 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 why, my brothers, when you come together to eat, tarry one for another. ³⁴ And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that you come not together to condemnation. And the others will I set in order when+ I come.
