| [an error occurred while processing this directive] | New International Version |
| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head--it is the same as having her head shaved. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6For 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. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice--nor do the churches of God. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18In 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. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God's approval. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20So then, when you come together, it is not the Lord's Supper you eat, |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21for 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. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Don'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! |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25In 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." |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27So 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. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32Nevertheless, 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. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33So then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, you should all eat together. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34Anyone 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. |
