¹ Become ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

² Now I praise you, brothers, that ye remember me in all things and keep the traditions, just as I delivered them to you.

³ But I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ, and the head of a woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.

⁴ Every man praying or prophesying having something upon his head dishonors his head.

⁵ But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for it is one and the same thing as the woman who has been shaven.

⁶ For if a woman is not covered, let her also shear herself. But if it is an ugly thing for a woman to shear herself or be shaven, she should be covered.

⁷ For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, being an image and glory of God, but woman is a glory of man.

⁸ For man is not from woman, but woman from man.

⁹ For also man was not created for the woman, but woman for the man.

¹⁰ Because of this the woman ought to have authority over her head, because of the agents.

¹¹ Nevertheless, neither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord.

¹² For just as the woman is from the man, so also the man is through the woman. But all things are from God.

¹³ Judge ye among yourselves, is it proper for a woman to pray to God uncovered?

¹⁴ Or does not nature itself teach you that if a man actually wears long hair it is a disgrace to him?

¹⁵ But if a woman wears long hair, it is a glory to her, because her hair has been given for a cloak.

¹⁶ But if any man appears to be a lover of strife, we have no such custom, nor the congregations of God.

¹⁷ Now in this that is commanded, I do not praise you, because ye do not assemble for the better but for the worse.

¹⁸ For indeed first, when ye come together in a congregation, I hear divisions are present among you, and I partly believe it.

¹⁹ For there must also be factions among you, so that the genuine may become apparent among you.

²⁰ When therefore ye come together in the same place, it is not to eat the Lord's supper.

²¹ For each man proceeds to eat his own meal, and one is hungry and another is drunken.

²² For have ye no houses to eat and to drink in? Or do ye disparage the church of God, and humiliate those not having? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.

²³ For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread,

²⁴ and having expressed thanks, he broke in pieces, and said, Take ye, eat, this is my body broken for you. This do ye for my memorial.

²⁵ Likewise also the cup after the supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood. This do, as often as ye drink it, for my memorial.

²⁶ For as often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup, ye proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

²⁷ Therefore whoever may eat this bread or drink the cup of the Lord unworthily of the Lord, will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

²⁸ But let a man examine himself, and let him so eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

²⁹ For he who eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks condemnation to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.

³⁰ Because of this many are weak and sickly among you, and a considerable sleep.

³¹ But if we were discerning ourselves we would not be judged.

³² But when we are judged by the Lord, we are chastened so that we may not be condemned with the world.

³³ Therefore, my brothers, when ye come together to eat, await each other.

³⁴ And if any man is hungry, let him eat at home so that ye may not come together for condemnation. And the rest I will set in order as soon as I come.
