1 Be{G1096}{(G5737)} ye followers{G3402} of me{G3450}, even as{G2531} I also{G2504} am of Christ{G5547}.

2 Now{G1161} I praise{G1867}{(G5719)} you{G5209}, brethren{G80}, that{G3754} ye remember{G3415}{(G5769)} me{G3450} in all things{G3956}, and{G2532} keep{G2722}{(G5719)} the ordinances{G3862}, as{G2531} I delivered{G3860}{(G5656)} them to you{G5213}.

3 But{G1161} I would have{G2309}{(G5719)} you{G5209} know{G1492}{(G5760)}, that{G3754} the head{G2776} of every{G3956} man{G435} is{G2076}{(G5748)} Christ{G5547}; and{G1161} the head{G2776} of the woman{G1135} is the man{G435}; and{G1161} the head{G2776} of Christ{G5547} is God{G2316}.

4 Every{G3956} man{G435} praying{G4336}{(G5740)} or{G2228} prophesying{G4395}{(G5723)}, having{G2192}{(G5723)} his head{G2776} covered{G2596}, dishonoureth{G2617}{(G5719)} his{G846} head{G2776}.

5 But{G1161} every{G3956} woman{G1135} that prayeth{G4336}{(G5740)} or{G2228} prophesieth{G4395}{(G5723)} with her head{G2776} uncovered{G177} dishonoureth{G2617}{(G5719)} her{G1438} head{G2776}: for{G1063} that is{G2076}{(G5748)} even{G2532} all one{G1520} as if{G846} she were shaven{G3587}{(G5772)}.

6 For{G1063} if{G1487} the woman{G1135} be{G2619} not{G3756} covered{G2619}{(G5743)}, let her{G2751} also{G2532} be shorn{G2751}{(G5669)}: but{G1161} if{G1487} it be a shame{G149} for a woman{G1135} to be shorn{G2751}{(G5670)} or{G2228} shaven{G3587}{(G5745)}, let her be covered{G2619}{(G5744)}.

7 For{G1063} a man{G435} indeed{G3303} ought{G3784}{(G5719)} not{G3756} to cover{G2619}{(G5745)} his head{G2776}, forasmuch as he is{G5225}{(G5723)} the image{G1504} and{G2532} glory{G1391} of God{G2316}: but{G1161} the woman{G1135} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the glory{G1391} of the man{G435}.

8 For{G1063} the man{G435} is{G2076}{(G5748)} not{G3756} of{G1537} the woman{G1135}; but{G235} the woman{G1135} of{G1537} the man{G435}.

9 {G1063}{G2532} Neither{G3756} was{G2936} the man{G435} created{G2936}{(G5681)} for{G1223} the woman{G1135}; but{G235} the woman{G1135} for{G1223} the man{G435}.

10 For this{G5124} cause{G1223} ought{G3784}{(G5719)} the woman{G1135} to have{G2192}{(G5721)} power{G1849} on{G1909} her head{G2776} because{G1223} of the angels{G32}.

11 Nevertheless{G4133} neither{G3777} is the man{G435} without{G5565} the woman{G1135}, neither{G3777} the woman{G1135} without{G5565} the man{G435}, in{G1722} the Lord{G2962}.

12 For{G1063} as{G5618} the woman{G1135} is of{G1537} the man{G435}, even so{G3779} is the man{G435} also{G2532} by{G1223} the woman{G1135}; but{G1161} all things{G3956} of{G1537} God{G2316}.

13 Judge{G2919}{(G5657)} in{G1722} yourselves{G5213}{G846}: is it{G2076}{(G5748)} comely{G4241}{(G5723)} that a woman{G1135} pray{G4336}{(G5738)} unto God{G2316} uncovered{G177}?

14 Doth{G2228} not even{G3761} nature{G5449} itself{G846} teach{G1321}{(G5719)} you{G5209}, that{G3754}, if{G1437}{G3303} a man{G435} have long hair{G2863}{(G5725)}, it is{G2076}{(G5748)} a shame{G819} unto him{G846}?

15 But{G1161} if{G1437} a woman{G1135} have long hair{G2863}{(G5725)}, it is{G2076}{(G5748)} a glory{G1391} to her{G846}: for{G3754} her hair{G2864} is given{G1325}{(G5769)} her{G846} for{G473} a covering{G4018}.

16 But{G1161} if any man{G1536} seem{G1380}{(G5719)} to be{G1511}{(G5750)} contentious{G5380}, we{G2249} have{G2192}{(G5719)} no{G3756} such{G5108} custom{G4914}, neither{G3761} the churches{G1577} of God{G2316}.

17 Now{G1161} in this{G5124} that I declare{G3853}{(G5723)} unto you I praise{G1867}{(G5719)} you not{G3756}, that{G3754} ye come together{G4905}{(G5736)} not{G3756} for{G1519} the better{G2909}, but{G235} for{G1519} the worse{G2276}.

18 For{G1063}{G3303} first of all{G4412}, when ye{G5216} come together{G4905}{(G5740)} in{G1722} the church{G1577}, I hear{G191}{(G5719)} that there be{G5225}{(G5721)} divisions{G4978} among{G1722} you{G5213}; and{G2532} I partly{G3313} believe{G4100}{(G5719)} it{G5100}.

19 For{G1063} there must{G1163}{(G5748)} be{G1511}{(G5750)} also{G2532} heresies{G139} among{G1722} you{G5213}, that{G2443} they which are approved{G1384} may be made{G1096}{(G5638)} manifest{G5318} among{G1722} you{G5213}.

20 When ye{G5216} come together{G4905}{(G5740)} therefore{G3767} into{G1909} one place{G846}, this is{G2076}{(G5748)} not{G3756} to eat{G5315}{(G5629)} the Lord's{G2960} supper{G1173}.

21 For{G1063} in{G1722} eating{G5315}{(G5629)} every one{G1538} taketh before{G4301}{(G5719)} other his own{G2398} supper{G1173}: and{G2532} one{G3739}{G3303} is hungry{G3983}{(G5719)}, and{G1161} another{G3739} is drunken{G3184}{(G5719)}.

22 What{G1063}? have ye{G2192}{(G5719)} not{G3378} houses{G3614} to eat{G2068}{(G5721)} and{G2532} to drink{G4095}{(G5721)} in{G1519}? or{G2228} despise ye{G2706}{(G5719)} the church{G1577} of God{G2316}, and{G2532} shame{G2617}{(G5719)} them that have{G2192}{(G5723)} not{G3361}? What{G5101} shall I say{G2036}{(G5632)} to you{G5213}? shall I praise{G1867}{(G5661)} you{G5209} in{G1722} this{G5129}? I praise{G1867}{(G5719)} you not{G3756}.

23 For{G1063} I{G1473} have received{G3880}{(G5627)} of{G575} the Lord{G2962} that which{G3739} also{G2532} I delivered{G3860}{(G5656)} unto you{G5213}, That{G3754} the Lord{G2962} Jesus{G2424} the same night{G3571} in{G1722} which{G3739} he was betrayed{G3860}{(G5712)} took{G2983}{(G5627)} bread{G740}:

24 And{G2532} when he had given thanks{G2168}{(G5660)}, he brake{G2806}{(G5656)} it, and{G2532} said{G2036}{(G5627)}, Take{G2983}{(G5628)}, eat{G5315}{(G5628)}: this{G5124} is{G2076}{(G5748)} my{G3450} body{G4983}, which{G3588} is broken{G2806}{(G5746)} for{G5228} you{G5216}: this{G5124} do{G4160}{(G5720)} in{G1519} remembrance{G364} of me{G1699}.

25 After the same manner{G5615} also{G2532} he took the cup{G4221}, when{G3326} he had supped{G1172}{(G5658)}, saying{G3004}{(G5723)}, This{G5124} cup{G4221} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the new{G2537} testament{G1242} in{G1722} my{G1699} blood{G129}: this{G5124} do ye{G4160}{(G5720)}, as oft as{G3740}{G302} ye drink{G4095}{(G5725)} it, in{G1519} remembrance{G364} of me{G1699}.

26 For{G1063} as often as{G302}{G3740} ye eat{G2068}{(G5725)} this{G5126} bread{G740}, and{G2532} drink{G4095}{(G5725)} this{G5124} cup{G4221}, ye do shew{G2605}{(G5719)} the Lord's{G2962} death{G2288} till{G891}{G302} he{G3739} come{G2064}{(G5632)}.

27 Wherefore{G5620} whosoever{G3739}{G302} shall eat{G2068}{(G5725)} this{G5126} bread{G740}, and{G2228} drink{G4095}{(G5725)} this cup{G4221} of the Lord{G2962}, unworthily{G371}, shall be{G2071}{(G5704)} guilty{G1777} of the body{G4983} and{G2532} blood{G129} of the Lord{G2962}.

28 But{G1161} let{G1381} a man{G444} examine{G1381}{(G5720)} himself{G1438}, and{G2532} so{G3779} let him eat{G2068}{(G5720)} of{G1537} that bread{G740}, and{G2532} drink{G4095}{(G5720)} of{G1537} that cup{G4221}.

29 For{G1063} he that eateth{G2068}{(G5723)} and{G2532} drinketh{G4095}{(G5723)} unworthily{G371}, eateth{G2068}{(G5719)} and{G2532} drinketh{G4095}{(G5719)} damnation{G2917} to himself{G1438}, not{G3361} discerning{G1252}{(G5723)} the Lord's{G2962} body{G4983}.

30 For{G1223} this{G5124} cause{G1223} many{G4183} are weak{G772} and{G2532} sickly{G732} among{G1722} you{G5213}, and{G2532} many{G2425} sleep{G2837}{(G5743)}.

31 For{G1063} if{G1487} we would judge{G1252}{(G5707)} ourselves{G1438}, we should{G302} not{G3756} be judged{G2919}{(G5712)}.

32 But{G1161} when we are judged{G2919}{(G5746)}, we are chastened{G3811}{(G5743)} of{G5259} the Lord{G2962}, that{G3363} we should{G2632} not{G3363} be condemned{G2632}{(G5686)} with{G4862} the world{G2889}.

33 Wherefore{G5620}, my{G3450} brethren{G80}, when ye come together{G4905}{(G5740)} to{G1519} eat{G5315}{(G5629)}, tarry{G1551}{(G5737)} one for another{G240}.

34 And{G1161} if any man{G1536} hunger{G3983}{(G5719)}, let him eat{G2068}{(G5720)} at{G1722} home{G3624}; that{G3363} ye come{G4905} not{G3363} together{G4905}{(G5741)} unto{G1519} condemnation{G2917}. And{G1161} the rest{G3062} will I set in order{G1299}{(G5695)} when{G5613}{G302} I come{G2064}{(G5632)}.
