* Follow my example , as I do that of Christ . * Now I praise you , brethren , that in all things ye remember me , and hold fast the instructions , as I delivered them to you . * 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 . * Every man that prayeth or prophesieth having his head covered , dishonoreth his head . * But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoreth her head ; for it is one and the same thing as if her head were shaved . * For if a woman is not veiled , let her also be shorn ; but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven , let her be veiled . * For a man indeed ought not to cover his head , since he is the image and glory of God ; but the woman is the glory of the man ; * for the man is not from the woman , but the woman from the man ; * and the man was not created for the woman , but the woman for the man . * For this cause the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head , because of the angels . * But neither is the woman without the man , nor the man without the woman , in the Lord . * For as the woman is from the man , so also is the man by the woman ; but all things from God . * Judge in your own selves ; is it comely that a woman pray to God uncovered ? * Doth not even nature itself teach you , that if a man have long hair , it is a shame to him , * but that if a woman have long hair , it is a glory to her ? for her hair is given for a covering . * But if any one seemeth to be contentious , we have no such custom , nor the churches of God . * But I give you this charge , not praising you , because ye come together not for the better , but for the worse . * For in the first place , when ye come together in assembly of the church , I hear that there are divisions among you ; and I partly believe it ; * for there must be also parties among you , that they who are approved may also become manifest among you . * When ye come together then in the same place , there is no eating of the Lord ’s supper . * For , when ye eat , every one taketh before any distribution his own supper , and one is hungry , and another is drunken . * What ! have ye not houses to eat and to drink in ? Or despise ye the church of God , and shame those who have nothing ? What am I to say to you ? Shall I praise you ? In this I do not praise you . * For I received of the Lord , what I also delivered to you , that the Lord Jesus , the same night in which he was betrayed , took a loaf , * and when he had given thanks , he broke it , and said , This is my body , which is for you ; this do in remembrance of me . * In like manner also the cup , when he had supped , saying , This cup is the new covenant , in my blood ; this do , as oft as ye drink , in remembrance of me . * For as often as ye eat this bread , and drink the cup , ye show forth the Lord ’s death , till he come . * So that whoever eateth the bread or drinketh the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty with respect to the body and the blood of the Lord . * But let a man examine himself , and thus let him eat of the bread , and drink of the cup ; * for he that eateth and drinketh eateth and drinketh judgment to himself , if he do not discern the body . * For this cause many among you are weak and sickly , and some are falling asleep . * But if we judged ourselves , we should not be judged ; * but when we are judged , we are chastened by the Lord , that we may not be condemned with the world . * Wherefore , my brethren , when ye come together to eat , wait for one another . * If any one hunger , let him eat at home ; that ye may not come together to condemnation . And the rest I will set in order when I come .
