Be ye
followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
02 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember
me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I
delivered them to you.
03 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.
04 Every man praying or prophesying, having his
head covered, dishonoureth his head.
05 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.
06 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.
07 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.
08 For the man is not of the woman: but the woman
of the man.
09 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.
