1Be[G1096] ye followers[G3402] of me[G3450], even as[G2531] I also[G2504] am of Christ[G5547].
2Now[G1161] I praise[G1867]you[G5209], brethren[G80], that[G3754] ye remember[G3415]me[G3450] in all things[G3956], and[G2532]keep[G2722] the ordinances[G3862], as[G2531] I delivered[G3860] them to you[G5213].
3But[G1161] I would have[G2309]you[G5209]know[G1492], that[G3754] the head[G2776] of every[G3956]man[G435]is[G2076]Christ[G5547]; and[G1161] the head[G2776] of the woman[G1135]is[G2076] the man[G435]; and[G1161] the head[G2776] of Christ[G5547]is[G2076]God[G2316].
5But[G1161]every[G3956]woman[G1135] that prayeth[G4336]or[G2228]prophesieth[G4395] with her[G1438]head[G2776]uncovered[G177]dishonoureth[G2617]her[G1438]head[G2776]: for[G1063] that is[G2076]even[G2532] all one[G1520] as if[G846] she were shaven[G3587].
6For[G1063]if[G1487] the woman[G1135]be[G2619]not[G3756]covered[G2619], let her[G2751]also[G2532]be[G2619]shorn[G2751]: but[G1161]if[G1487] it be[G2619] a shame[G149]for[G1063] a woman[G1135] to be[G2619]shorn[G2751]or[G2228]shaven[G3587], let her[G2751]be[G2619]covered[G2619].
7For[G1063] a man[G435]indeed[G3303]ought[G3784]not[G3756] to cover[G2619] his head[G2776], forasmuch as he is[G5225] the image[G1504]and[G2532]glory[G1391] of God[G2316]: but[G1161] the woman[G1135]is[G2076] the glory[G1391] of the man[G435].
8For[G1063] the man[G435]is[G2076]not[G3756]of[G1537] the woman[G1135]; but[G235] the woman[G1135]of[G1537] the man[G435].
9Neither[G3756]was[G2936] the man[G435]created[G2936]for[G1223] the woman[G1135]; but[G235] the woman[G1135]for[G1223] the man[G435].
10
For this[G5124]cause[G1223]ought[G3784] the woman[G1135] to have[G2192]power[G1849]on[G1909] her head[G2776]because[G1223] of the angels[G32].
11Nevertheless[G4133]neither[G3777] is the man[G435]without[G5565] the woman[G1135], neither[G3777] the woman[G1135]without[G5565] the man[G435], in[G1722] the Lord[G2962].
12For[G1063]as[G5618] the woman[G1135] is of[G1537] the man[G435], even so[G3779] is the man[G435]also[G2532]by[G1223] the woman[G1135]; but[G1161] all things[G3956]of[G1537]God[G2316].
13Judge[G2919]in[G1722]yourselves[G5213]: is it[G2076]comely[G4241] that a woman[G1135]pray[G4336] unto God[G2316]uncovered?[G177]
14Doth[G2228] not even[G3761]nature[G5449]itself[G846]teach[G1321]you[G5209], that[G3754], if[G1437] a man[G435] have long hair[G2863], it is[G2076] a shame[G819] unto him?[G846]
15But[G1161]if[G1437] a woman[G1135] have long hair[G2863], it is[G2076] a glory[G1391] to her[G846]: for[G3754]her[G846]hair[G2864]is[G2076]given[G1325]her[G846]for[G473] a covering[G4018].
16But[G1161] if any man[G1536]seem[G1380] to be[G1511]contentious[G5380], we[G2249]have[G2192]no[G3756]such[G5108]custom[G4914], neither[G3761] the churches[G1577] of God[G2316].
17Now[G1161] in this[G5124]that[G3754] I declare[G3853] unto you I praise[G1867] you not[G3756], that[G3754] ye come together[G4905]not[G3756]for[G1519] the better[G2909], but[G235]for[G1519] the worse[G2276].
18For[G1063] first of all[G4412], when ye[G5216] come together[G4905]in[G1722] the church[G1577], I hear[G191] that there be[G5225]divisions[G4978]among[G1722]you[G5213]; and[G2532] I partly[G3313]believe[G4100]it[G5100].
19For[G1063] there must[G1163]be[G1511]also[G2532]heresies[G139]among[G1722]you[G5213], that[G2443] they which are approved[G1384] may be[G1511]made[G1096]manifest[G5318]among[G1722]you[G5213].
20
When ye[G5216] come together[G4905]therefore[G3767]into[G1909] one place[G846], this is[G2076]not[G3756] to eat[G5315] the Lord's supper[G1173].
21For[G1063]in[G1722]eating[G5315] every one[G1538] taketh before[G4301] other his own[G2398]supper[G1173]: and[G2532]one[G3739] is hungry[G3983], and[G1161]another[G3739] is drunken[G3184].
22What?[G1063]have[G2192]ye[G2192]not[G3378]houses[G3614] to eat[G2068]and[G2532] to drink[G4095]in?[G1519]or[G2228] despise ye[G2706] the church[G1577] of God[G2316], and[G2532]shame[G2617] them that have[G2192]not?[G3361]What[G5101] shall I say[G2036] to you?[G5213] shall I praise[G1867]you[G5209]in[G1722]this?[G5129] I praise[G1867]you[G5209]not[G3756].
23For[G1063]I[G1473] have received[G3880]of[G575] the Lord[G2962]that[G3754]which[G3739]also[G2532]I[G1473]delivered[G3860] unto you[G5213], That[G3754] the Lord[G2962]Jesus[G2424] the same night[G3571]in[G1722]which[G3739] he was betrayed[G3860]took[G2983]bread[G740]:
24And[G2532] when he had given thanks[G2168], he brake[G2806] it, and[G2532]said[G2036], Take[G2983], eat[G5315]: this[G5124]is[G2076]my[G3450]body[G4983], which[G3588]is[G2076]broken[G2806]for[G5228]you[G5216]: this[G5124]do[G4160]in[G1519]remembrance[G364] of me[G1699].
25
After the same manner[G5615]also[G2532] he took the cup[G4221], when[G3326] he had supped[G1172], saying[G3004], This[G5124]cup[G4221]is[G2076] the new[G2537]testament[G1242]in[G1722]my[G1699]blood[G129]: this[G5124] do ye[G4160], as[G3740] oft as[G302]ye[G4160]drink[G4095] it, in[G1519]remembrance[G364] of me[G1699].
26For[G1063]as[G302] often as[G3740] ye eat[G2068]this[G5126]bread[G740], and[G2532]drink[G4095]this[G5124]cup[G4221], ye do shew[G2605] the Lord's death[G2288]till[G891]he[G3739]come[G2064].
27Wherefore[G5620]whosoever[G3739] shall eat[G2068]this[G5126]bread[G740], and[G2228]drink[G4095]this[G5126]cup[G4221] of the Lord[G2962], unworthily[G371], shall be[G2071]guilty[G1777] of the body[G4983]and[G2532]blood[G129] of the Lord[G2962].
28But[G1161]let[G1381] a man[G444]examine[G1381]himself[G1438], and[G2532]so[G3779]let[G1381] him eat[G2068]of[G1537] that bread[G740], and[G2532]drink[G4095]of[G1537] that cup[G4221].
29For[G1063] he that eateth[G2068]and[G2532]drinketh[G4095]unworthily[G371], eateth[G2068]and[G2532]drinketh[G4095]damnation[G2917] to himself[G1438], not[G3361]discerning[G1252] the Lord's body[G4983].
30For[G1223]this[G5124]cause[G1223]many[G4183] are weak[G772]and[G2532]sickly[G732]among[G1722]you[G5213], and[G2532]many[G2425]sleep[G2837].
31For[G1063]if[G1487] we would judge[G1252]ourselves[G1438], we should[G302]not[G3756] be judged[G2919].
32But[G1161] when we are judged[G2919], we are chastened[G3811]of[G5259] the Lord[G2962], that[G3363] we should[G2632]not[G3363] be condemned[G2632]with[G4862] the world[G2889].
33Wherefore[G5620], my[G3450]brethren[G80], when ye come together[G4905]to[G1519]eat[G5315], tarry[G1551] one for another[G240].
34And[G1161] if any man[G1536]hunger[G3983], let him eat[G2068]at[G1722]home[G3624]; that[G3363] ye come[G4905]not[G3363]together[G4905]unto[G1519]condemnation[G2917]. And[G1161] the rest[G3062] will I set in order[G1299]when[G5613] I come[G2064].
