On Covering the Head in Worship

2I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the teachings, just as I passed them on to you.G1161G1867G5209G80G3754G3415G3450G3956G2532G2722G3862G2531G3860G5213 3Now 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.G1161G2309G5209G1492G3754G2776G3956G435G2076G5547G1161G2776G1135G435G1161G2776G5547G2316 4Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.G3956G435G4336G2228G4395G2192G2776G2596G2617G846G2776 5And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is just as though her head were shaved.G1161G3956G1135G4336G2228G4395G2776G177G2617G1438G2776G1063G2076G2532G1520G846G3587 6If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.G1063G1487G1135G2619G3756G2619G2751G2532G2751G1161G1487G149G1135G2751G2228G3587G2619 7A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.G1063G435G3303G3784G3756G2619G2776G5225G1504G2532G1391G2316G1161G1135G2076G1391G435 8For man did not come from woman, but woman from man;G1063G435G2076G3756G1537G1135G235G1135G1537G435 9neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.G1063G2532G3756G2936G435G2936G1223G1135G235G1135G1223G435 10For this reason, and because of the angels, the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head.G5124G1223G3784G1135G2192G1849G1909G2776G1223G32 11In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.G4133G3777G435G5565G1135G3777G1135G5565G435G1722G2962 12For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.G1063G5618G1135G1537G435G3779G435G2532G1223G1135G1161G3956G1537G2316 13Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?G2919G1722G5213G846G2076G4241G1135G4336G2316G177 14Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,G2228G3761G5449G846G1321G5209G3754G1437G3303G435G2863G2076G819G846 15but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering.G1161G1437G1135G2863G2076G1391G846G3754G2864G1325G846G473G4018 16If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.G1161G1536G1380G1511G5380G2249G2192G3756G5108G4914G3761G1577G2316

Correcting an Abuse of the Lord’s Supper

17In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good.G1161G5124G3853G1867G3756G3754G4905G3756G1519G2909G235G1519G2276 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.G1063G3303G4412G5216G4905G1722G1577G191G5225G4978G1722G5213G2532G3313G4100G5100 19No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God's approval.G1063G1163G1511G2532G139G1722G5213G2443G1384G1096G5318G1722G5213 20When you come together, it is not the Lord's Supper you eat,G5216G4905G3767G1909G846G2076G3756G5315G2960G1173 21for as you eat, each of you goes ahead without waiting for anybody else. One remains hungry, another gets drunk.G1063G1722G5315G1538G4301G2398G1173G2532G3739G3303G3983G1161G3739G3184 22Don't you have homes 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 praise you for this? Certainly not!G1063G2192G3378G3614G2068G2532G4095G1519G2228G2706G1577G2316G2532G2617G2192G3361G5101G2036G5213G1867G5209G1722G5129G1867G3756 23For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,G1063G1473G3880G575G2962G3739G2532G3860G5213G3754G2962G2424G3571G1722G3739G3860G2983G740 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."G2532G2168G2806G2532G2036G2983G5315G5124G2076G3450G4983G3588G2806G5228G5216G5124G4160G1519G364G1699 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."G5615G2532G4221G3326G1172G3004G5124G4221G2076G2537G1242G1722G1699G129G5124G4160G3740G302G4095G1519G364G1699 26For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.G1063G302G3740G2068G5126G740G2532G4095G5124G4221G2605G2962G2288G891G302G3739G2064 27Therefore, 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.G5620G3739G302G2068G5126G740G2228G4095G4221G2962G371G2071G1777G4983G2532G129G2962 28A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup.G1161G1381G444G1381G1438G2532G3779G2068G1537G740G2532G4095G1537G4221 29For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself.G1063G2068G2532G4095G371G2068G2532G4095G2917G1438G3361G1252G2962G4983 30That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.G1223G5124G1223G4183G772G2532G732G1722G5213G2532G2425G2837 31But if we judged ourselves, we would not come under judgment.G1063G1487G1252G1438G302G3756G2919 32When we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world.G1161G2919G3811G5259G2962G3363G2632G3363G2632G4862G2889 33So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for each other.G5620G3450G80G4905G1519G5315G1551G240 34If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment. And when I come I will give further directions.G1161G1536G3983G2068G1722G3624G3363G4905G3363G4905G1519G2917G1161G3062G1299G5613G302G2064
