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. |
