11 Tularan(A) ninyo ako, gaya ng pagtulad ko kay Cristo.

Pagtatakip sa Ulo Kung Sumasamba

Pinupuri ko kayo dahil naaalala ninyo ako at sinusunod ninyo ang mga turo na ibinigay ko sa inyo. Ngunit nais kong maunawaan ninyo na si Cristo ang ulo ng bawat lalaki, ang lalaki ang ulo ng kanyang asawa,[a] at ang Diyos naman ang ulo ni Cristo. Ang lalaking nananalangin o nagpapahayag ng mensaheng mula sa Diyos nang may takip ang ulo ay nagdudulot ng kahihiyan sa kanyang ulo. Ang babae namang nananalangin o nagpapahayag ng mensaheng mula sa Diyos nang walang talukbong ang ulo ay nagdudulot ng kahihiyan sa kanyang ulo, para na rin siyang babaing inahitan ang ulo. Kung ayaw magtalukbong ng ulo ang isang babae, magpagupit na rin siya ng buhok. Yamang kahiya-hiya sa babae ang magpaahit o magpagupit ng buhok, dapat siyang magtalukbong. Hindi(B) dapat magtalukbong ng ulo ang lalaki dahil siya'y larawan at karangalan ng Diyos. Ngunit ang babae ay karangalan ng lalaki, sapagkat(C) hindi mula sa babae ang lalaki, kundi ang babae ay nagmula sa lalaki. At hindi rin nilalang ang lalaki para sa babae, kundi ang babae ay nilalang para sa lalaki. 10 Alang-alang sa mga anghel, dapat magtalukbong ng ulo ang babae bilang tanda na siya'y nasasakop ng kanyang asawa. 11 Gayunman, sa ating buhay sa Panginoon ay kailangan ng babae ang lalaki at kailangan din naman ng lalaki ang babae. 12 Nagmula man sa lalaki ang babae, ang lalaki nama'y isinisilang ng babae, at mula sa Diyos ang lahat.

13 Kayo na ang humatol, angkop ba sa isang babae ang makitang nananalangin nang walang talukbong sa ulo? 14 Hindi ba't kalikasan na rin ang nagtuturo sa inyo na kahiya-hiya sa isang lalaki ang magpahaba ng buhok, 15 ngunit karangalan naman ito ng babae? Sapagkat ibinigay sa kanya ang buhok bilang pantakip sa kanyang ulo. 16 Ngunit kung may gusto pang makipagtalo tungkol dito, ang masasabi ko ay ito: sa pagsamba, wala kaming ibang kaugalian, gayundin ang mga iglesya ng Diyos.

Mga Maling Pagsasagawa ng Banal na Hapunan

17 Tungkol sa mga babanggitin ko ngayon, hindi ko kayo maaaring purihin dahil ang inyong pagtitipon ay hindi nakakabuti, subalit nakakasama. 18 Una sa lahat, nabalitaan ko na kayo'y nagpapangkat-pangkat sa inyong pagtitipon, at ako'y naniniwalang may katotohanan iyan. 19 Talaga namang magkakaroon ng pagkakabaha-bahagi sa inyo upang makilala kung sino sa inyo ang mga tapat. 20 Kaya't sa inyong pagtitipon, hindi Banal na Hapunan ng Panginoon ang kinakain ninyo. 21 Sapagkat ang bawat isa sa inyo'y nagmamadali sa pagkain ng kanyang sariling pagkain, kaya't nagugutom ang iba at ang iba nama'y nalalasing. 22 Wala ba kayong sariling bahay upang doon kumain at uminom? Hindi ba ninyo pinapahalagahan ang iglesya ng Diyos at hinihiya ninyo ang mahihirap? Ano ang gagawin ko ngayon? Pupurihin ko ba kayo dahil sa bagay na iyon? Hinding-hindi ko gagawin iyon!

Ang Banal na Hapunan(D)

23 Sapagkat ito ang turo na tinanggap ko mula sa Panginoon at ibinigay ko naman sa inyo: noong gabing siya'y ipagkanulo, ang Panginoong Jesus ay dumampot ng tinapay, 24 nagpasalamat at pinagpira-piraso iyon, at sinabi, “Ito ang aking katawan na inihahandog para sa inyo. Gawin ninyo ito bilang pag-aalaala sa akin.” 25 Matapos(E) maghapunan, dumampot din siya ng kopa at sinabi, “Ang kopang ito ang bagong tipan na pinagtitibay ng aking dugo. Tuwing iinumin ninyo ito, gawin ninyo bilang pag-aalaala sa akin.” 26 Sapagkat tuwing kakain kayo ng tinapay na ito at iinom sa kopang ito, ipinapahayag ninyo ang kamatayan ng Panginoon hanggang sa kanyang muling pagparito.

27 Kaya, ang sinumang kumakain ng tinapay at umiinom sa kopa ng Panginoon sa paraang di nararapat ay nagkakasala sa katawan at dugo ng Panginoon. 28 Kaya't dapat siyasatin ng tao ang kanyang sarili bago siya kumain ng tinapay at uminom sa kopa. 29 Sapagkat ang sinumang kumakain at umiinom nang hindi kinikilala ang kahalagahan ng katawan ng Panginoon ay kumakain at umiinom ng kahatulan laban sa kanyang sarili. 30 Iyan ang dahilan kung bakit mahihina at sakitin ang marami sa inyo, at may ilan ngang namatay na.[b] 31 Kung sisiyasatin natin ang ating sarili, hindi tayo hahatulan ng Panginoon. 32 Ngunit hinahatulan tayo ng Panginoon dahil itinutuwid niya tayo, upang hindi tayo maparusahang kasama ng sanlibutan.

33 Kaya nga, mga kapatid, kapag nagkakatipon kayo upang kumain, maghintayan kayo. 34 Kung may nagugutom, kumain na muna siya sa bahay upang hindi humantong sa hatol na kaparusahan ang inyong pagtitipon. Tungkol naman sa ibang mga bagay, saka ko na aayusin pagdating ko riyan.

11 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.

But 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.

Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.

But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

For 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.

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.

For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.

Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.

13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?

14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

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.

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.

19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

20 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.

21 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

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.

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:

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.

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.

26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

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.

28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.

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.

11 Follow my example,(A) as I follow the example of Christ.(B)

On Covering the Head in Worship

I praise you(C) for remembering me in everything(D) and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you.(E) But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ,(F) and the head of the woman is man,[a](G) and the head of Christ is God.(H) Every man who prays or prophesies(I) with his head covered dishonors his head. But every woman who prays or prophesies(J) with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved.(K) For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.

A man ought not to cover his head,[b] since he is the image(L) and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. For man did not come from woman, but woman from man;(M) neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.(N) 10 It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own[c] head, because of the angels. 11 Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. 12 For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.(O)

13 Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, 15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. 16 If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.(P)

Correcting an Abuse of the Lord’s Supper(Q)

17 In the following directives I have no praise for you,(R) for your meetings do more harm than good. 18 In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions(S) among you, and to some extent I believe it. 19 No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God’s approval.(T) 20 So then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat, 21 for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers.(U) As a result, one person remains hungry and another gets drunk. 22 Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God(V) by humiliating those who have nothing?(W) What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you?(X) Certainly not in this matter!

23 For I received from the Lord(Y) what I also passed on to you:(Z) The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body,(AA) which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant(AB) in my blood;(AC) do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.(AD)

27 So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.(AE) 28 Everyone ought to examine themselves(AF) before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. 29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. 30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.(AG) 31 But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment.(AH) 32 Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined(AI) so that we will not be finally condemned with the world.(AJ)

33 So then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, you should all eat together. 34 Anyone who is hungry(AK) should eat something at home,(AL) so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment.

And when I come(AM) I will give further directions.
