1 Cor 4.16; Phil 3.17. Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
The Covering of Women's Heads
2Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances,#11.2 ordinances or traditions. as I delivered them to you. 3But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. 4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoreth his head. 5But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoreth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. 6For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. 7#Gen 1.26. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. 8#Gen 2.18-23. For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. 9Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. 10For this cause ought the woman to have power#11.10 That is, a covering, in sign that she is under the power of her husband. on her head because of the angels. 11Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. 12For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God. 13Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? 14Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? 15But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 16But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
Disorder at the Lord's Supper
17Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse. 18For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. 19For there must be also heresies#11.19 heresies or factions. among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. 20When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper. 21For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken. 22What! have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
The Institution of the Lord's Supper
(Matthew 26.26-29; Mark 14.22-25; Luke 22.14-20)
23For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread: 24and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25#Jer 31.31-34; Exod 24.6-8. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 26For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he come.
Partaking of the Supper Unworthily
27Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 30For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 31For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 32But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
33Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. 34And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

1 Cor 4.16. Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.

2 Thess 2.15. I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you. 3#Eph 1.22; 4.15; 5.23; Col 1.8; 2.19. But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. 4Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, 5#Lk 2.36; Acts 21.9; 1 Cor 14.34. but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head—it is the same as if her head were shaven. 6For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her wear a veil. 7#Gen 1.26. For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. 8#Gen 2.21-23. (For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. 9#Gen 2.18. Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.) 10That is why a woman ought to have a veil#11.10 Greek authority (the veil being a symbol of this) on her head, because of the angels. 11(Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman; 12#2 Cor 5.18; Rom 11.36. for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God.) 13Judge for yourselves; is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14Does not nature itself teach you that for a man to wear long hair is degrading to him, 15but if a woman has long hair, it is her pride? For her hair is given to her for a covering. 16#1 Cor 7.17. If any one is disposed to be contentious, we recognize no other practice, nor do the churches of God.
17But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse. 18#1 Cor 1.10. For, in the first place, when you assemble as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it, 19for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized. 20When you meet together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat. 21For in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal, and one is hungry and another is drunk. 22What! Do you not have houses 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 commend you in this? No, I will not.

Mt 26.26-28; Mk 14.22-24; Lk 22.17-19; 1 Cor 10.16. #1 Cor 15.3. For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for#11.24 Other ancient authorities read broken for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25#2 Cor 3.6; Lk 22.20. In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26#1 Cor 4.5. For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
27Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. 28Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself. 30That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.#11.30 Greek have fallen asleep (as in 15.6,20) 31But if we judged ourselves truly, we should not be judged. 32#1 Cor 1.20. But when we are judged by the Lord, we are chastened#11.32 Or when we are judged we are being chastened by the Lord so that we may not be condemned along with the world.
33So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another— 34#1 Cor 4.19. if any one is hungry, let him eat at home—lest you come together to be condemned. About the other things I will give directions when I come.
