But if a woman haue long heare, it is a prayse vnto her: for her heare is giuen her for a couering.

For first of all, when ye come together in the Church, I heare that there are dissentions among you: and I beleeue it to be true in some part.

For there must be heresies euen among you, that they which are approoued among you, might be knowen.

For euery man when they should eate, taketh his owne supper afore, and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

For I haue receiued of the Lorde that which I also haue deliuered vnto you, to wit, That the Lorde Iesus in the night when he was betrayed, tooke bread:

And when hee had giuen thankes, hee brake it, and sayde, Take, eate: this is my body, which is broken for you: this doe ye in remembrance of me.

For as often as ye shall eate this bread, and drinke this cup, ye shewe the Lords death till hee come.

For he that eateth and drinketh vnworthily, eateth and drinketh his owne damnation, because he discerneth not the Lords body.

For this cause many are weake, & sicke among you, and many sleepe.

For if we would iudge our selues, we should not be iudged.

Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eate, tary one for another.

For to one is giuen by the Spirit the word of wisdome: and to an other the word of knowledge, by the same Spirit:

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, which is one, though they be many, yet are but one body: euen so is Christ.

For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we bee Iewes, or Grecians, whether we be bonde, or free, and haue bene all made to drinke into one Spirit.

For the body also is not one member, but many.

For if they were all one member, where were the body?

For our comely partes neede it not: but God hath tempered the body together, and hath giuen the more honour to that part which lacked,

Lest there should be any diuision in the body: but that the members shoulde haue the same care one for another.

Now ye are the body of Christ, and members for your part.

For we knowe in part, and we prophecie in part.
