For man is not of woman, but woman of man.

For also man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake of the man.

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

But woman, if she have long hair, [it is] glory to her; for the long hair is given [to her] in lieu of a veil.

But [in] prescribing [to you on] this [which I now enter on], I do not praise, [namely,] that ye come together, not for the better, but for the worse.

For first, when ye come together in assembly, I hear there exist divisions among you, and I partly give credit [to it].

For there must also be sects among you, that the approved may become manifest among you.

For each one in eating takes his *own* supper before [others], and one is hungry and another drinks to excess.

Have ye not then houses for eating and drinking? or do ye despise the assembly of God, and put to shame them who have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this [point] I do not praise.

For *I* received from the Lord, that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread,

and having given thanks broke [it], and said, This is my body, which [is] for you: this do in remembrance of me.

For as often as ye shall eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye announce the death of the Lord, until he come.

For [the] eater and drinker eats and drinks judgment to himself, not distinguishing the body.

So that, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait for one another.

If any one be hungry, let him eat at home, that ye may not come together for judgment. But the other things, whenever I come, I will set in order.

But to each the manifestation of the Spirit is given for profit.

For to one, by the Spirit, is given [the] word of wisdom; and to another [the] word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;

For even as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also [is] the Christ.

For also in [the power of] one Spirit *we* have all been baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bondmen or free, and have all been given to drink of one Spirit.

For also the body is not one member but many.
