1 Be imitators of me, as I also am of Christ. Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ. Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
2 Now I commend you⁺ because you⁺ have remembered me in all things, and you⁺ hold fast the traditions just as I delivered them to you⁺. Now I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I delivered them to you. I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you.
3 But I want you⁺ to 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. But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. But 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 Every man praying or prophesying having anything on his head dishonors his head. Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.
5 And every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered dishonors her head; for it is one and the same with having been shaven. but every wife who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since it is the same as if her head were shaven. But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved.
6 For if a woman does not cover her head, also let her be shorn. And if it is shameful to a woman to be shorn or to be shaven, let her cover her head. For if a wife will not cover her head, then she should cut her hair short. But since it is disgraceful for a wife to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her head. 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.
7 For indeed a man ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man. A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.
8 For man is not of woman, but woman of man. For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. For man did not come from woman, but woman from man;
9 For also man was not created because of the woman, but woman because of the man. Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.
10 Because of this, the woman ought to have authority on the head, because of the angels. That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels.
11 However, neither is woman apart from man, nor man apart from woman in the Lord. Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman; Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.
12 For just as the woman is of the man, so also the man is through the woman. And all things are of God. for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God. For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.
13 Judge in yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God uncovered? Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a wife to pray to God with her head uncovered? Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
14 Does not even nature itself teach you⁺ that indeed if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for him, Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,
15 but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For the long hair instead of a covering is given to her. but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering. but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering.
16 Now if anyone thinks to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God. If anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, nor do the churches of God. If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.
17 Now in this instructing, I do not praise you, because not for the better, but for the worse, do you⁺ come together. But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse. In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good.
18 For first indeed, on your⁺ coming together in an assembly, I hear there to be divisions among you⁺, and in part I believe it. For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you. And I believe it in part, 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.
19 For also it is necessary for there to be factions among you⁺, so that also the ones approved should become evident among you⁺. for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized. No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God’s approval.
20 Therefore, on your⁺ coming together in the same place, it is not to eat the Lord’s supper. When you come together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat. So then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat,
21 For in eating, each takes first his own supper. And indeed this one is hungry, but that one is drunk. For in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal. One goes hungry, another gets drunk. 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.
22 What! Have you⁺ no houses in which to eat and to drink? Or do you⁺ despise the church of God and put to shame those not having? What shall I say to you⁺? Shall I praise you⁺? In this I do not praise you! What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you in this? No, I will not. 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!
23 For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you⁺, that the Lord Jesus, in the night in which He was delivered up, took bread, For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,
24 and having given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you⁺; do this to the remembrance of Me.” 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 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 Likewise also the cup after having supped, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you⁺ may drink it, to the remembrance of Me.” In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, 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.”
26 For as often as you⁺ may eat this bread and may drink the cup, you⁺ proclaim the death of the Lord until He should come. For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
27 Therefore, whoever may eat the bread or may drink the cup of the Lord unworthily will be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord. Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. 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.
28 But let a man examine himself, and thus let him eat of the bread, and let him drink of the cup. Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup.
29 For the one eating and drinking, not discerning the body, eats and drinks judgment on himself. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.
30 Because of this, many are weak and sick among you⁺, and many are fallen asleep. That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died. That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.
31 For if we were discerning of ourselves, we would not be being judged. But if we judged ourselves truly, we would not be judged. But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment.
32 But being judged by the Lord, we are disciplined, so that we should not be condemned with the world. But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world. 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.
33 So then, my brothers, in coming together in order to eat, wait for one another. So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another— So then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, you should all eat together.
34 If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you⁺ may not come together for judgment; and I will prescribe the other things as soon as I shall come. if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home—so that when you come together it will not be for judgment. About the other things I will give directions when I come. 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.
