ABU(i)
1 BE ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ.
2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and, hold fast the traditions, as I delivered them to you.
3 And I would have you 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, having his head covered, dishonors his head.
5 But every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered, dishonors her head; for it is one and the same as if she were shaven.
6 For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn; but if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, being the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man.
8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
9 And the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man.
10 For this cause ought the woman to have [the token of] authority on her head, because of the angels.
11 Nevertheless, neither is the woman without the man, nor the man without the woman, in the Lord.
12 For as the woman is of the man, so also is the man by the woman; but all things of God.
13 Judge in your own selves; is it seemly that a woman pray to God uncovered?
14 Does not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame to him?
15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given her for a covering.
16 But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the churches of God.
17 And while I enjoin this, I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.
18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
19 For there must be also sects among you, that they who are approved may be made manifest among you.
20 When therefore ye come together into one place, there is no eating of a supper of the Lord.
21 For in eating, each takes without waiting his own supper; and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
22 What! have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God, and shame those who have not? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
23 For I received from the Lord, what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was betrayed, took a loaf;
24 and having given thanks, he broke it, and said: This is my body, which is for you; this do in remembrance of me.
25 In like manner also the cup, after they had supped, saying: This cup is the new covenant in my blood; this do, as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye show the Lord's death till he come.
27 So that whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.
29 For he that eats and drinks, eats and drinks condemnation to himself, if he discern not the body.
30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
31 For if we judged ourselves; we should not be judged.
32 But being judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
33 Wherefore, my brethren, when coming together to eat, wait for one another.
34 If any one is hungry, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest I will set in order when I come.
