1Be{+} imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ. 2Now I praise you{+} that you{+} remember me in all things, and hold fast the traditions, even as I delivered them to you{+}. 3But 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. 4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head. 5But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonors her head; for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven. 6For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled. 7For a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled, since he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. 8For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man: 9for neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man: 10for this cause ought the woman to have [a sign of] authority on her head, because of the angels. 11Nevertheless, neither is the woman without the man, nor the man without the woman, in the Lord. 12For as the woman is of the man, so is the man also by the woman; but all things are of God. 13Judge{+} in yourselves: is it seemly that a woman prays to God unveiled? 14Does not even nature itself teach you{+}, that, if a man has long hair, it is a shame to him? 15But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given to her for a covering. 16But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God. 17But in giving you{+} this charge, I do not praise you{+}, that you{+} come together not for the better but for the worse. 18For first of all, when you{+} come together in the church, I hear that divisions exist among you{+}; and I partly believe it. 19For there must also be factions among you{+}, that those who are approved may also be made manifest among you{+}. 20When therefore you{+} assemble yourselves together, it is not possible to eat the Lord's supper: 21for in your{+} eating each takes before [another] his own supper; and one is hungry, and another is drunk. 22What, don't you{+} have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you{+} despise the church of God, and put them to shame that do not have? What shall I say to you{+}? Shall I praise you{+}? In this I do not praise you{+}. 23For I received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you{+}, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was delivered up took bread; 24and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, This is my body, which is for you{+}: this do in remembrance of me. 25In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as you{+} drink [it], in remembrance of me. 26For as often as you{+} eat this bread, and drink the cup, you{+} proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. 27Therefore whoever will eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. 28But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup. 29For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he does not discern the body. 30For this cause many among you{+} are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep. 31But if we discerned ourselves, we should not be judged. 32But when we are judged by the Lord, we are chastened, that we may not be condemned with the world. 33Therefore, my brothers, when you{+} come together to eat, wait one for another. 34If any man is hungry, let him eat at home; that your{+} coming together not be to judgment. And the rest I will set in order whenever I come.
