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. |
