Now by "conscience" I do not mean your own, but the other person's; for why is my freedom judged by another's conscience?

If I partake with thankfulness, why am I slandered about that for which I give thanks?

Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all things for the glory of God.

But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for it is one and the same as the woman whose head is shaved.

For if a woman does not cover her head, have her also cut her hair off; however, if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, have her cover her head.

For a man should not have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man;

for indeed man was not created for the woman's sake, but woman for the man's sake.

For as the woman originated from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman; and all things originate from God.

Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her as a covering.

Now in giving this next instruction I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better, but for the worse.

For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and in part I believe it.

For there also have to be factions among you, so that those who are approved may become evident among you.

for when you eat, each one takes his own supper first; and one goes hungry while another gets drunk.

For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night when He was betrayed, took bread;

and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes.

For the one who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not properly recognize the body.

For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number are asleep.
