For if a woman does not cover her head, let her also cut off her hair; but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her cover her head. *

For a man indeed ought not cover his head, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.

For the man was not created from the woman; but the woman was created from the man.

Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

For this reason the woman ought to be modest and cover her head, as a mark of respect to the angels.

For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.

Judge for yourselves, Is it comely for a woman to pray to God with uncovered head?

But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

Now I give you these commands, not to praise you, for you have not made progress but have become worse.

For controversies are bound to be among you, that those who are approved may be made manifest among you.

Why? Have you not houses to eat and drink in? or do you not respect the church of God, and want to shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? No, for this, I cannot praise you.#

For I myself received from our LORD that which I also delivered to you, That our LORD Jesus on that very night in which he was betrayed took bread:

And when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you commemorate our LORD''s death until he come.

For this reason, let a man examine himself, and so eat of this bread, and drink of this cup.

For he who eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks to his condemnation; for he does not discern the LORD''s body.

For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.

Hereafter, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit.

For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, even though many, are one body, so also is Christ.
