shaven, let her be covered. {11:7} 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. {11:8} For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. {11:9} Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. {11:10} For this cause ought the woman to have power on [her] head because of the angels. {11:11} Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. {11:12} For as the woman [is] of the man, even so [is] the man also by the woman; but all things of god. {11:13} Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? {11:14} Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? {11:15} But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for [her] hair is given her for a covering. {11:16} But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
{11:17} Now in this that I declare [unto you] I praise [you] not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse. {11:18} For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. {11:19} For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. {11:20} When ye come together therefore into one place, [this] is not to eat the Lord’s supper. {11:21} For in eating every one taketh before [other] his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken. {11:22} What? 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. {11:23} For 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: {11:24} And 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. {11:25} 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. {11:26} For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink [this] cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come. {11:27} Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. {11:28} But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of [that] bread, and drink of [that] cup. {11:29} For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. {11:30} For this cause many [are] weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. {11:31} For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. {11:32} But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. {11:33} Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. {11:34} And 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.
{12:1} Now concerning spiritual [gifts,] brethren, I would not have you ignorant. {12:2} Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. {12:3} Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and [that] no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. {12:4} Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. {12:5} And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. {12:6} And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which
worketh all in all. {12:7} But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. {12:8} For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; {12:9} To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; {12:10} To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: {12:11} But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. {12:12} For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also [is] Christ. {12:13} For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether [we be] Jews or Gentiles, whether [we be] bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. {12:14} For the body is not one member, but many. {12:15} If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? {12:16} And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? {12:17} If the whole body [were] an eye, where [were] the hearing? If the whole [were] hearing, where [were] the smelling? {12:18} But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. {12:19} And if they were all one member, where [were] the body? {12:20} But now [are they] many members, yet but one body. {12:21} And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. {12:22} Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: {12:23} And those [members] of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness. {12:24} For our comely [parts] have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that [part] which lacked: {12:25} That there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another. {12:26} And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. {12:27} Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. {12:28} And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. {12:29} [Are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all teachers? [are] all workers of miracles? {12:30} Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? {12:31} But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
{13:1} Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become [as ]sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. {13:2} And though I have [the gift of] prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. {13:3} And though I bestow all my goods to feed [the poor,] and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. {13:4} Charity suffereth long, [and] is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, {13:5} Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; {13:6} Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; {13:7} Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. {13:8} Charity never faileth: but whether [there be] prophecies, they shall fail; whether [there be] tongues, they shall cease; whether [there be] knowledge, it shall vanish away. {13:9} For we
