046:011:001
Be ye followers of me,
even as I also am of Christ.

046:011:002
Now I praise you,
brethren,
that ye remember me in all things,
and keep the ordinances,
as I delivered them to you.

046:011:003
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.

046:011:004
Every man praying or prophesying,
having his head covered,
dishonoureth his head.

046:011:005
But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head:
for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

046:011:006
For if the woman be not covered,
let her also be shorn:
but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven,
let her be covered.

046:011:007
For a man indeed ought not to cover his head,
forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God:
but the woman is the glory of the man.

046:011:008
For the man is not of the woman:
but the woman of the man.

046:011:009
Neither was the man created for the woman;
but the woman for the man.

046:011:010
For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

046:011:011
Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman,
neither the woman without the man,
in the Lord.

046:011:012
For as the woman is of the man,
even so is the man also by the woman;
but all things of God.

046:011:013
Judge in yourselves:
is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?

046:011:014
Doth not even nature itself teach you,
that,
if a man have long hair,
it is a shame unto him?

046:011:015
But if a woman have long hair,
it is a glory to her:
for her hair is given her for a covering.

046:011:016
But if any man seem to be contentious,
we have no such custom,
neither the churches of God.

046:011:017
Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not,
that ye come together not for the better,
but for the worse.

046:011:018
For first of all,
when ye come together in the church,
I hear that there be divisions among you;
and I partly believe it.

046:011:019
For there must be also heresies among you,
that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

046:011:020
When ye come together therefore into one place,
this is not to eat the Lord's supper.

046:011:021
For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper:
and one is hungry,
and another is drunken.

046:011:022
What?
have ye not houses to eat and to drink in?
or despise ye the church of God,
and shame them that have not?
What shall I say to you?
shall I praise you in this?
I praise you not.

046:011:023
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you,
That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:

046:011:024
And when he had given thanks,
he brake it,
and said,
Take,
eat:
this is my body,
which is broken for you:
this do in remembrance of me.

046:011:025
After the same manner also he took the cup,
when he had supped,
saying,
This cup is the new testament in my blood:
this do ye,
as oft as ye drink it,
in remembrance of me.

046:011:026
For as often as ye eat this bread,
and drink this cup,
ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

046:011:027
Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread,
and drink this cup of the Lord,
unworthily,
shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

046:011:028
But let a man examine himself,
and so let him eat of that bread,
and drink of that cup.

046:011:029
For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily,
eateth and drinketh damnation to himself,
not discerning the Lord's body.

046:011:030
For this cause many are weak and sickly among you,
and many sleep.

046:011:031
For if we would judge ourselves,
we should not be judged.

046:011:032
But when we are judged,
we are chastened of the Lord,
that we should not be condemned with the world.

046:011:033
Wherefore,
my brethren,
when ye come together to eat,
tarry one for another.

046:011:034
And if any man hunger,
let him eat at home;
that ye come not together unto condemnation.
And the rest will I set in order when I come.
