📚✭Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ. 2 📚Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things, and obey the instructions✭ just as I gave them to you. Public worship
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. 4 📚✭✭Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered dishonours his head. 5 📚✭But every woman who prays or prophesies with uncovered head dishonours her head, for that is just like having her head shaved. 6 📚For if the woman’s head is not covered, let her hair be cut off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or shaved, let her head be covered. 7 📚✭✭For a man indeed should not cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man. 8 📚✭For man is not from woman, but woman from man. 9 📚Nor was man created for woman, but woman for man. 10 📚✭For this reason a woman should have a symbol of man’s authority on her head, because of the angels.
11 📚✭Nevertheless, in the Lord, man is not independent of woman, and woman is not independent of man. 12 📚For as woman is from man, even so man is through woman; but all things are from God. 13 📚✭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 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 her hair is given to her as a covering. 16 📚✭But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do the churches of God.
The Lord’s supper
17 📚✭In what I have to tell you now I do not praise you: your meeting together does not produce the better, but the worse. 18 📚✭First of all, I hear that when you meet together as a church, that there are divisions among you; and in part I believe it. 19 📚For there must also be dissensions✭ among you, so that those who are approved✭ by God may be revealed among you.
20 ✭Therefore, when you meet together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord’s supper, 21 📚for in eating, everyone begins his own supper ahead of others, and someone is hungry, and another is drunk. 22 📚What? Do you not have houses in which to eat, and drink? Or do you despise the church of God, and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? I will not praise you.
23 📚✭For I have received from the Lord that which I also passed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread, 24 📚and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “Take, eat. This is my body✭ which is broken for you.✭ Do this✭ in remembrance✭ of me”. 25 📚✭In the same manner also he took the cup after he had eaten, and said, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me”. 26 📚For as often✭ as you eat this bread, and drink this cup, you proclaim✭ the Lord’s death, until he comes.
27 📚✭Therefore whoever eats this bread and drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. 28 📚✭But a man should examine himself, and then eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 📚For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner, not discerning the Lord’s body✭, eats and drinks judgment✭ on himself. 30 📚✭For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many have fallen asleep✭. 31 📚✭For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. 32 📚✭But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, so that we will not be condemned with the world.
