1 - Followers of me become ye, as I also <FI>am<Fi> of Christ.

2 - And I praise you, brethren, that in all things ye remember me, and according as I did deliver to you, the deliverances ye keep,

3 - and I wish you to know that of every man the head is the Christ, and the head of a woman is the husband, and the head of Christ is God.

4 - Every man praying or prophesying, having the head covered, doth dishonour his head,

5 - and every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered, doth dishonour her own head, for it is one and the same thing with her being shaven,

6 - for if a woman is not covered--then let her be shorn, and if <FI>it is<Fi> a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven--let her be covered;

7 - for a man, indeed, ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God, and a woman is the glory of a man,

8 - for a man is not of a woman, but a woman <FI>is<Fi> of a man,

9 - for a man also was not created because of the woman, but a woman because of the man;

10 - because of this the woman ought to have <FI>a token of<Fi> authority upon the head, because of the messengers;

11 - but neither <FI>is<Fi> a man apart from a woman, nor a woman apart from a man, in the Lord,

12 - for as the woman <FI>is<Fi> of the man, so also the man <FI>is<Fi> through the woman, and the all things <FI>are<Fi> of God.

13 - In your own selves judge ye; is it seemly for a woman uncovered to pray to God?

14 - doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man indeed have long hair, a dishonour it is to him?

15 - and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her;

16 - and if any one doth think to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the assemblies of God.

17 - And this declaring, I give no praise, because not for the better, but for the worse ye come together;

18 - for first, indeed, ye coming together in an assembly, I hear of divisions being among you, and partly I believe <FI>it<Fi> ,

19 - for it behoveth sects also to be among you, that those approved may become manifest among you;

20 - ye, then, coming together at the same place--it is not to eat the Lord's supper;

21 - for each his own supper doth take before in the eating, and one is hungry, and another is drunk;

22 - why, have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or the assembly of God do ye despise, and shame those not having? what may I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I do not praise!

23 - For I--I received from the Lord that which also I did deliver to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread,

24 - and having given thanks, he brake, and said, `Take ye, eat ye, this is my body, that for you is being broken; this do ye--to the remembrance of me.'

25 - In like manner also the cup after the supping, saying, `This cup is the new covenant in my blood; this do ye, as often as ye may drink <FI>it<Fi> --to the remembrance of me;'

26 - for as often as ye may eat this bread, and this cup may drink, the death of the Lord ye do shew forth--till he may come;

27 - so that whoever may eat this bread or may drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, guilty he shall be of the body and blood of the Lord:

28 - and let a man be proving himself, and so of the bread let him eat, and of the cup let him drink;

29 - for he who is eating and drinking unworthily, judgment to himself he doth eat and drink--not discerning the body of the Lord.

30 - Because of this, among you many <FI>are<Fi> weak and sickly, and sleep do many;

31 - for if ourselves we were discerning, we would not be being judged,

32 - and being judged by the Lord, we are chastened, that with the world we may not be condemned;

33 - so then, my brethren, coming together to eat, for one another wait ye;

34 - and if any one is hungry, at home let him eat, that to judgment ye may not come together; and the rest, whenever I may come, I shall arrange.
