1. Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
|
1. Be G1096 ye followers G3402 of me G3450 , even as G2531 I also G2504 am of Christ G5547 .
|
|
2. I praise you because you remember me in everything, and you follow closely the teachings just as I gave them to you.
|
2. Now G1161 I praise G1867 you G5209 , brethren G80 , that G3754 ye remember G3415 me G3450 in all things G3956 , and G2532 keep G2722 the G3588 ordinances G3862 , as G2531 I delivered G3860 them to you G5213 .
|
|
3. But I want you to understand this: The head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.
|
3. But G1161 I would G2309 have you G5209 know G1492 , that G3754 the G3588 head G2776 of every G3956 man G435 is G2076 Christ G5547 ; and G1161 the head G2776 of the woman G1135 is the G3588 man G435 ; and G1161 the head G2776 of Christ G5547 is God G2316 .
|
|
4. Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered brings shame to his head.
|
4. Every G3956 man G435 praying G4336 or G2228 prophesying G4395 , having G2192 his head covered G2596 G2776 , dishonoreth G2617 his G848 head G2776 .
|
|
5. But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered brings shame to her head. She is the same as a woman who has her head shaved.
|
5. But G1161 every G3956 woman G1135 that prayeth G4336 or G2228 prophesieth G4395 with her head G2776 uncovered G177 dishonoreth G2617 her G1438 head G2776 : for G1063 that is G2076 even all one G1520 G2532 G848 as if she were shaven G3587 .
|
|
6. If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off. But since it is shameful for a woman to cut off her hair or to shave her head, she should cover her head.
|
6. For G1063 if G1487 the G3588 woman G1135 be not G3756 covered G2619 , let her also G2532 be shorn G2751 : but G1161 if G1487 it be a shame G149 for a woman G1135 to be shorn G2751 or G2228 shaven G3587 , let her be covered G2619 .
|
|
7. But a man should not cover his head, because he is the likeness and glory of God. But woman is man's glory.
|
7. For G1063 a man G435 indeed G3303 ought G3784 not G3756 to cover G2619 his head G2776 , forasmuch as he is G5225 the image G1504 and G2532 glory G1391 of God G2316 : but G1161 the woman G1135 is G2076 the glory G1391 of the man G435 .
|
|
8. Man did not come from woman, but woman came from man.
|
8. For G1063 the man G435 is G2076 not G3756 of G1537 the woman G1135 ; but G235 the woman G1135 of G1537 the man G435 .
|
|
9. And man was not made for woman, but woman was made for man.
|
9. G1063 Neither G2532 G3756 was the man G435 created G2936 for G1223 the G3588 woman G1135 ; but G235 the woman G1135 for G1223 the G3588 man G435 .
|
|
10. So that is why a woman should have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.
|
10. For this cause G1223 G5124 ought G3784 the G3588 woman G1135 to have G2192 power G1849 on G1909 her head G2776 because G1223 of the G3588 angels G32 .
|
|
11. But in the Lord women are not independent of men, and men are not independent of women.
|
11. Nevertheless G4133 neither G3777 is the man G435 without G5565 the woman G1135 , neither G3777 the woman G1135 without G5565 the man G435 , in G1722 the Lord G2962 .
|
|
12. This is true because woman came from man, but also man is born from woman. But everything comes from God.
|
12. For G1063 as G5618 the G3588 woman G1135 is of G1537 the G3588 man G435 , even so G3779 is the G3588 man G435 also G2532 by G1223 the G3588 woman G1135 ; but G1161 all things G3956 of G1537 God G2316 .
|
|
13. Decide this for yourselves: Is it right for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
|
13. Judge G2919 in G1722 yourselves G5213 G846 : is G2076 it comely G4241 that a woman G1135 pray G4336 unto God G2316 uncovered G177 ?
|
|
14. Even nature itself teaches you that wearing long hair is shameful for a man.
|
14. Doth G2228 not even G3761 nature G5449 itself G846 teach G1321 you G5209 , that G3754 , if G1437 a man G435 have long hair G2863 , it is G2076 a shame G819 unto him G846 ?
|
|
15. But long hair is a woman's glory. Long hair is given to her as a covering.
|
15. But G1161 if G1437 a woman G1135 have long hair G2863 , it is G2076 a glory G1391 to her G846 : for G3754 her hair G2864 is given G1325 her G846 for G473 a covering G4018 .
|
|
16. Some people may still want to argue about this, but I would add that neither we nor the churches of God have any other practice.
|
16. But G1161 if G1487 any man G5100 seem G1380 to be G1511 contentious G5380 , we G2249 have G2192 no G3756 such G5108 custom G4914 , neither G3761 the G3588 churches G1577 of God G2316 .
|
|
17. In the things I tell you now I do not praise you, because when you come together you do more harm than good.
|
17. Now G1161 in this G5124 that I declare G3853 unto you I praise G1867 you not G3756 , that G3754 ye come together G4905 not G3756 for G1519 the G3588 better G2909 , but G235 for G1519 the G3588 worse G2276 .
|
|
18. First, I hear that when you meet together as a church you are divided, and I believe some of this.
|
18. For G1063 first of all G4412 , when G3303 ye G5216 come together G4905 in G1722 the G3588 church G1577 , I hear G191 that there be G5225 divisions G4978 among G1722 you G5213 ; and G2532 I partly G3313 G5100 believe G4100 it.
|
|
19. (It is necessary to have differences among you so that it may be clear which of you really have God's approval.)
|
19. For G1063 there must G1163 be G1511 also G2532 heresies G139 among G1722 you G5213 , that G2443 they which are approved G1384 may be made G1096 manifest G5318 among G1722 you G5213 .
|
|
20. When you come together, you are not really eating the Lord's Supper.
|
20. When ye G5216 come together G4905 therefore G3767 into G1909 one place G846 , this is G2076 not G3756 to eat G5315 the Lord G2960 's supper G1173 .
|
|
21. This is because when you eat, each person eats without waiting for the others. Some people do not get enough to eat, while others have too much to drink.
|
21. For G1063 in G1722 eating G5315 every one G1538 taketh before G4301 other his own G2398 supper G1173 : and G2532 one G3739 G3303 is hungry G3983 , and G1161 another G3739 is drunken G3184 .
|
|
22. You can eat and drink in your own homes! You seem to think God's church is not important, and you embarrass those who are poor. What should I tell you? Should I praise you? I do not praise you for doing this.
|
22. What G1063 G3361 ? have G2192 ye not G3756 houses G3614 to eat G2068 and G2532 to drink G4095 in? or G2228 despise G2706 ye the G3588 church G1577 of God G2316 , and G2532 shame G2617 them that have G2192 not G3361 ? What G5101 shall I say G2036 to you G5213 ? shall I praise G1867 you G5209 in G1722 this G5129 ? I praise G1867 you not G3756 .
|
|
23. The teaching I gave you is the same teaching I received from the Lord: On the night when the Lord Jesus was handed over to be killed, he took bread
|
23. For G1063 I G1473 have received G3880 of G575 the G3588 Lord G2962 that which G3739 also G2532 I delivered G3860 unto you G5213 , That G3754 the G3588 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 the G3588 same night G3571 in which G3739 he was betrayed G3860 took G2983 bread G740 :
|
|
24. and gave thanks for it. Then he broke the bread and said, "This is my body; it is for you. Do this to remember me."
|
24. And G2532 when he had given thanks G2168 , he broke G2806 it, and G2532 said, Take G2036 G2983 , eat G5315 : this G5124 is G2076 my G3450 body G4983 , which is broken G2806 for G5228 you G5216 : this G5124 do G4160 in G1519 remembrance G364 of me G1699 .
|
|
25. In the same way, after they ate, Jesus took the cup. He said, "This cup is the new agreement that is sealed with the blood of my death. When you drink this, do it to remember me."
|
25. After G3326 the same manner G5615 also G2532 he took the G3588 cup G4221 , when he had supped G1172 , saying G3004 , This G5124 cup G4221 is G2076 the G3588 new G2537 testament G1242 in G1722 my G1699 blood G129 : this G5124 do G4160 ye, as oft as G3740 ye drink G4095 G302 it, in G1519 remembrance G364 of me G1699 .
|
|
26. Every time you eat this bread and drink this cup you are telling others about the Lord's death until he comes.
|
26. For G1063 as often as G3740 ye eat G2068 G302 this G5126 bread G740 , and G2532 drink G4095 G302 this G5124 cup G4221 , ye do show G2605 the G3588 Lord G2962 's death G2288 till G891 G3757 he come G2064 .
|
|
27. So a person who eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in a way that is not worthy of it will be guilty of sinning against the body and the blood of the Lord.
|
27. Wherefore G5620 whosoever G3739 G302 shall eat G2068 this G5126 bread G740 , and G2228 drink G4095 this cup G4221 of the G3588 Lord G2962 , unworthily G371 , shall be G2071 guilty G1777 of the G3588 body G4983 and G2532 blood G129 of the G3588 Lord G2962 .
|
|
28. Look into your own hearts before you eat the bread and drink the cup,
|
28. But G1161 let a man G444 examine G1381 himself G1438 , and G2532 so G3779 let him eat G2068 of G1537 that bread G740 , and G2532 drink G4095 of G1537 that cup G4221 .
|
|
29. because all who eat the bread and drink the cup without recognizing the body eat and drink judgment against themselves.
|
29. For G1063 he that eateth G2068 and G2532 drinketh G4095 unworthily G371 , eateth G2068 and G2532 drinketh G4095 damnation G2917 to himself G1438 , not G3361 discerning G1252 the G3588 Lord G2962 's body G4983 .
|
|
30. That is why many in your group are sick and weak, and many have died.
|
30. For this cause G1223 G5124 many G4183 are weak G772 and G2532 sickly G732 among G1722 you G5213 , and G2532 many G2425 sleep G2837 .
|
|
31. But if we judged ourselves in the right way, God would not judge us.
|
31. For G1063 if G1487 we would judge G1252 ourselves G1438 , we should not G3756 be judged G2919 .
|
|
32. But when the Lord judges us, he punishes us so that we will not be destroyed along with the world.
|
32. But G1161 when we are judged G2919 , we are chastened G3811 of G5259 the Lord G2962 , that G2443 we should not G3361 be condemned G2632 with G4862 the G3588 world G2889 .
|
|
33. So my brothers and sisters, when you come together to eat, wait for each other.
|
33. Wherefore G5620 , my G3450 brethren G80 , when ye come together G4905 to eat G5315 , tarry G1551 one for another G240 .
|
|
34. Anyone who is too hungry should eat at home so that in meeting together you will not bring God's judgment on yourselves. I will tell you what to do about the other things when I come.
|
34. And G1161 if G1487 any man G5100 hunger G3983 , let him eat G2068 at G1722 home G3624 ; that G2443 ye come not together G4905 G3361 unto G1519 condemnation G2917 . And G1161 the G3588 rest G3062 will I set in order G1299 when G5613 G302 I come G2064 .
