Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
Roles in Worship
Be my imitators, even as *I* also [am] of Christ.
Be my imitators, even as *I* also [am] of Christ.
On Covering the Head in Worship
I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you.
I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you.
Now I praise you, that in all things ye are mindful of me; and that as I have directed you, ye keep the directions.
But I wish you to know that the Christ is the head of every man, but woman's head [is] the man, and the Christ's head God.
Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.
Every man praying or prophesying, having [anything] on his head, puts his head to shame.
But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head — it is the same as having her head shaved.
But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered puts her own head to shame; for it is one and the same as a shaved [woman].
For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.
For if a woman be not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if [it be] shameful to a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, let her be covered.
For man indeed ought not to have his head covered, being God's image and glory; but woman is man's glory.
neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.
For also man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake of the man.
Therefore ought the woman to have authority on her head, on account of the angels.
Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.
However, neither [is] woman without man, nor man without woman, in [the] Lord.
For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.
For as the woman [is] of the man, so also [is] the man by the woman, but all things of God.
Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman should pray to God uncovered?
Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,
Does not even nature itself teach you, that man, if he have long hair, it is a dishonour to him?
but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering.
But woman, if she have long hair, [it is] glory to her; for the long hair is given [to her] in lieu of a veil.
If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice — nor do the churches of God.
But if any one think to be contentious, *we* have no such custom, nor the assemblies of God.
Correcting an Abuse of the Lord’s Supper
In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good.
In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good.
Observing the Lord's Supper
But [in] prescribing [to you on] this [which I now enter on], I do not praise, [namely,] that ye come together, not for the better, but for the worse.
But [in] prescribing [to you on] this [which I now enter on], I do not praise, [namely,] that ye come together, not for the better, but for the worse.
In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it.
For first, when ye come together in assembly, I hear there exist divisions among you, and I partly give credit [to it].
No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God’s approval.
For there must also be sects among you, that the approved may become manifest among you.
So then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat,
When ye come therefore together into one place, it is not to eat [the] Lord's supper.
for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers. As a result, one person remains hungry and another gets drunk.
For each one in eating takes his *own* supper before [others], and one is hungry and another drinks to excess.
Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God by humiliating those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? Certainly not in this matter!
Have ye not then houses for eating and drinking? or do ye despise the assembly of God, and put to shame them who have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this [point] I do not praise.
For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,
For *I* received from the Lord, that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread,
and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
and having given thanks broke [it], and said, This is my body, which [is] for you: this do in remembrance of me.
In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye shall drink [it], in remembrance of me.
For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
For as often as ye shall eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye announce the death of the Lord, until he come.
So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.
So that whosoever shall eat the bread, or drink the cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty in respect of the body and of the blood of the Lord.
Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup.
But let a man prove himself, and thus eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.
For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.
For [the] eater and drinker eats and drinks judgment to himself, not distinguishing the body.
That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.
On this account many among you [are] weak and infirm, and a good many are fallen asleep.
But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment.
But if we judged ourselves, so were we not judged.
Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be finally condemned with the world.
But being judged, we are disciplined of [the] Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
So then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, you should all eat together.
So that, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait for one another.
Anyone who is hungry should eat something at home, so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment.
And when I come I will give further directions.
And when I come I will give further directions.
If any one be hungry, let him eat at home, that ye may not come together for judgment. But the other things, whenever I come, I will set in order.
