|
Be ye followers of me, even as I also of Christ. |
|
|
|
2
|
Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered to you. |
|
|
|
3
|
But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman the man; and the head of Christ God. |
|
|
|
4
|
Every man praying or prophesying, having head covered, dishonoureth his head. |
|
|
|
5
|
But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with 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 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 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 of the man, even so 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 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 I praise 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, is not to eat the Lord's supper. |
|
|
|
21
|
For in eating every one taketh before 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 not. |
|
|
|
23
|
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the night in which he was betrayed took bread: |
|
|
|
24
|
And when he had given thanks, he brake , 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 the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink , 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 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 bread, and drink of 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 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. |
