1 You are to imitate me, just as I imitate Christ. | C |
2 Now I commend you for remembering me in everything and for maintaining the traditions, just as I passed them on to you.
3 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. | C |
4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. | C |
5 And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for it is just as if her head were shaved. | C | TT |
6 If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off. And if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head. | C |
7 A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. | C |
8 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man. | C |
9 Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. | C |
10 For this reason a woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels. | C |
11 In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. | C |
12 For just as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God. | C |
13 Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? | C |
14 Doesn’t nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, | C |
15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. | C |
16 If anyone is inclined to dispute this, we have no other practice, nor do the churches of God. | C |
17 In the following instructions I have no praise to offer, because your gatherings do more harm than good. | C |
18 First of all, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it. | C |
19 And indeed, there must be differences among you to show which of you are approved. | C |
20 Now then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat. | C | TT |
21 For as you eat, each of you goes ahead without sharing his meal. While one remains hungry, another gets drunk. | C |
22 Don’t you have your own homes in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What can I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? No, I will not! | C |
23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night He was betrayed, took bread, | C | TT¹ | TT¹ |
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.” | C |
25 In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” | IP | C |
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes. | C |
27 Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. | C |
28 Each one must examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. | C |
29 For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. | C |
30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. | C |
31 Now if we judged ourselves properly, we would not come under judgment. | C |
32 But when we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world. | C |
33 So, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. | C |
34 If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you come together it will not result in judgment. And when I come, I will give instructions about the remaining matters. | C |
