⁴² But Jesus called the ten to him, and said: "Those who are regarded as ruling among the Gentiles lord it over them, as you know, and their great men oppress them. ⁴³ But among you it is not so. No, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, ⁴⁴ And whoever wants to take the first place among you must be the servant of all; ⁴⁵ For even the Son of Man came, not be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

³⁸ As they continued their journey, Jesus came to a village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him to her house. ³⁹ She had a sister called Mary, who seated herself at the Master's feet, and listened to his teaching; ⁴⁰ But Martha was distracted by the many preparations that she was making. So she went up to Jesus and said: "Master, do you approve of my sister's leaving me to make preparations alone? Tell her to help me." ⁴¹ "Martha, Martha," replied the Master, "you are anxious and trouble yourself about many things; ⁴² But only a few are necessary, or rather one. Mary has chosen the good part, and it shall not be taken away from her."

¹¹ Still, when in union with the Lord, woman is not independent of man, or man of woman; ¹² For just as woman came from man, so man comes by means of woman; and all things come from God.

³ Give my greeting to Prisca and Aquila, my fellow-workers in the Cause of Christ Jesus,

⁷ To Andronicus and Junias, my countrymen and once my fellow- prisoners, who are men of note among the Apostles, and who became Christians before I did;

³ But I am anxious that you should understand that the Christ is the Head of every man, that man is the Head of woman, and that God is the Head of the Christ.

¹ Imitate me, as I myself imitate Christ. ² I praise you, indeed, because you never forget me, and are keeping my injunctions in mind, exactly as I laid them upon you. ³ But I am anxious that you should understand that the Christ is the Head of every man, that man is the Head of woman, and that God is the Head of the Christ. ⁴ Any man who keeps his head covered, when praying or preaching in public, dishonors him who is his Head; ⁵ While any woman, who prays or preaches in public bare-headed, dishonors him who is her Head; for that is to make herself like one of the shameless women who shave their heads. ⁶ Indeed, if a woman does not keep her head covered, she may as well cut her hair short. But, since to cut her hair short, or shave it off, marks her as one of the shameless women, let her keep her head covered. ⁷ A man ought not to have his head covered, for he has been from the beginning 'the likeness of God' and the reflection of his glory, but woman is the reflection of man's glory. ⁸ For it was not man who was taken from woman, but woman who was taken from man. ⁹ Besides, man was not created for the sake of woman, but woman for the sake of man. ¹⁰ And, therefore, a woman ought to wear on her head a symbol of her subjection, because of the presence of the angels. ¹¹ Still, when in union with the Lord, woman is not independent of man, or man of woman; ¹² For just as woman came from man, so man comes by means of woman; and all things come from God. ¹³ Judge for yourselves. Is it fitting that a woman should pray to God in public with her head uncovered? ¹⁴ Does not nature herself teach us that, while for a man to wear his hair long is degrading to him, ¹⁵ A woman's long hair is her glory? Her hair has been given her to serve as a covering. ¹⁶ If, however, any one still thinks it right to contest the point-well, we have no such custom, nor have the Churches of God. ¹⁷ In giving directions on the next subject, I cannot praise you; because your meetings do more harm than good. ¹⁸ To begin with, I hear you and, to some extent, I believe it. ¹⁹ Indeed, there must be actual parties among you, for so only will the men of real worth become known. ²⁰ When you meet together, as I understand, it is not possible to eat the Lord's Supper; ²¹ For, as you eat, each of you tries to secure his own supper first, with the result that one has too little to eat, and another has too much to drink! ²² Have you no houses in which you can eat and drink? Or are you trying to show your contempt for the Church of God, and to humiliate the poor? What can I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this matter I cannot praise you. ²³ For I myself received from the Lord the account which I have in turn given to you-how the Lord Jesus, on the very night of his betrayal, took some bread, ²⁴ And, after saying the thanksgiving, broke it and said "This is my own body given on your behalf. Do this in memory of me." ²⁵ And in the same way with the cup, after supper, saying "This cup is the new Covenant made by my blood. Do this, whenever you drink it, in memory of me." ²⁶ For whenever you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death-till he comes. ²⁷ Therefore, whoever eats the bread, or drinks the Lord's cup, in an irreverent spirit, will have to answer for an offence against the Lord's body and blood. ²⁸ Let each man look into his own heart, and only then eat of the bread and drink from the cup. ²⁹ For the man who eats and drinks brings a judgment upon himself by his eating and drinking, when he does not discern the body. ³⁰ That is why so many among you are weak and ill, and why some are sleeping. ³¹ But, if we judged ourselves rightly, we should not be judged. ³² Yet, in being judged by the Lord, we are undergoing discipline, so that we may not have judgment passed upon us with the rest of the world. ³³ Therefore, my Brothers, when you meet together to eat the Supper, wait for one another. ³⁴ If a man is hungry, let him eat at home, so that your meetings may not bring a judgment upon you. The other details I will settle when I come.

⁹ He had four unmarried daughters, who had the gift of prophecy.

²¹ And submit to one another from reverence for him.

³ Yes, and I ask you, my true comrade, to help them, remembering that they toiled by my side in spreading the Good News; and so, too, did Clement and my other fellow-workers, whose names are 'in the Book of Life.'

⁹ After his rising again, early on the first day of the week, Jesus appeared first of all to Mary of Magdala, from whom he had driven out seven demons.

⁸ Then they remembered the words of Jesus, ⁹ And, on returning from the tomb, they told all this to the Eleven and to all the rest. ¹⁰ There were Mary of Magdala, and Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James. The other women, too, spoke about this to the Apostles. ¹¹ What they said seemed to the Apostles mere nonsense, and they did not believe them.

⁹ Besides, man was not created for the sake of woman, but woman for the sake of man.

²⁶ This man began to speak out fearlessly in the Synagogue; and when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him home and explained the Cause of God to him more carefully still.

¹¹ A woman should listen silently to her teachers, and show them all deference. ¹² I do not consent to a woman's becoming a teacher, or exercising authority over a man; she ought to be silent. ¹³ Adam was formed first, not Eve. ¹⁴ And it was not Adam who was deceived; it was the woman who was entirely deceived and fell into sin.

¹⁷ 'It shall come about in the last days,' God says, 'That I will pour out my Spirit on all mankind; your sons and your daughters shall become Prophets, your young men shall see visions, and your old men dream dreams;

¹² For just as woman came from man, so man comes by means of woman; and all things come from God.

²⁶ For you are all Sons of God, through your faith in Christ Jesus. ²⁷ For all of you who were baptized into union with Christ clothed yourselves with Christ. ²⁸ All distinctions between Jew and Greek, slave and freeman, male and female, have vanished; for in union with Christ Jesus you are all one.
