11 ¶ Se pou nou swiv egzanp mwen, menm jan mwen menm mwen swiv egzanp Kris la.

Mwen fè nou konpliman pou jan nou toujou chonje m', pou jan nou kenbe tout bagay mwen te moutre nou.

Men, mwen vle nou konprann sa byen: Kris la se chèf tout gason, gason se chèf fanm. Bondye se chèf Kris la.

Si yon gason kite chapo l' nan tèt li lè l'ap lapriyè osinon lè l'ap bay yon mesaj ki soti nan Bondye, li derespekte Kris la.

Men, si yon fanm pa mete anyen sou tèt li lè l'ap lapriyè osinon lè l'ap bay yon mesaj ki soti nan Bondye, li derespekte mari li. Se tankou si se te yon fanm ki te gen tèt li kale.

Si yon fanm pa kouvri tèt li, li ta mèt tou koupe cheve l' tou. Enben, si se yon wont pou yon fanm koupe cheve l' ou ankò pou l' kale tèt li, se pou l' kouvri tèt li tou.

Gason an pa bezwen kouvri tèt li, paske se pòtre Bondye li ye. Tankou nan yon glas, li fè wè bèl pouvwa Bondye a. Men, fanm lan menm se pouvwa gason an li fè wè.

Paske, se pa t' avèk moso nan kò yon fanm Bondye te kreye gason, se avèk moso nan kò yon gason li te fè fanm.

Se pa pou fanm lan Bondye te kreye gason an, men se pou gason an Bondye te kreye fanm lan.

10 Se poutèt sa, akòz zanj Bondye yo, fanm lan dwe pote yon mak sou tèt li pou moutre li soumèt anba otorite mari li.

11 Men, nan lavi n'ap mennen ansanm ak Seyè a, fanm bezwen sèvis gason, gason bezwen sèvis fanm.

12 Paske, menm jan se avèk moso kò yon gason Bondye te kreye fanm, konsa tou se nan vant fanm gason soti. Men, tout bagay soti nan Bondye.

13 Dapre nou, èske se lizay sa pou yon fanm pa gen anyen sou tèt li lè l'ap lapriyè Bondye?

14 Se pa natirèl pou yon gason gen cheve long. Sa se yon wont.

15 Men, se bèl bagay pou yon fanm gen cheve long. Bondye ba l' cheve long li yo pou sèvi l' tankou yon vwal sou tèt li.

16 Si yon moun vle pouse diskisyon sa a pi lwen, mwen menm se tou sa mwen gen pou m' di li: ni nou menm, ni lòt legliz Bondye yo, nou pa gen lòt koutim nou swiv lè nou nan sèvis.

17 ¶ Pou sa m'ap di nou koulye a, mwen pa fè nou konpliman menm, paske lè nou reyini nou fè tèt nou plis tò pase nou fè tèt nou byen.

18 Pou kòmanse, mwen tande lè nou sanble pou sèvis la, nou fè ti pil gwo pil. Mwen konnen sa pa fin manti nèt.

19 (Ap toujou gen divizyon nan mitan nou pou yo ka rekonèt moun ki kwè tout bon yo ak moun ki pa kwè yo.)

20 Lè nou reyini ansanm, gen lè se pa manje Seyè a nou vin manje.

21 Paske, lè nou chita bò tab la, chak moun ap prese manje manje pa li. Lè konsa, yon pati rete grangou, yon lòt menm gen tan sou sitèlman li bwè.

22 Mwen te kwè nou gen lakay nou pou n' manje, pou n' bwè? Gen lè se respè nou manke konsa pou legliz Bondye a? Osinon, èske se wont nou vle fè moun ki pa gen anyen yo wont? Kisa nou ta vle mwen di nou sou sa? Nou ta vle m' fè nou konpliman? O non! Nou tou wè mwen pa kapab fè nou konpliman pou sa!

23 ¶ Paske, men sa Seyè a te fè m' konnen, se sa menm mwen te moutre nou tou: Jou lannwit yo te trayi l' la, Seyè Jezi te pran pen,

24 lè li fin di Bondye mèsi li kase l', epi li di: Sa a se kò m', se pou nou li ye. Se pou nou fè sa pou nou ka chonje mwen.

25 Konsa tou, apre yo fin manje, li pran gode diven an, li di yo: Gode sa a se nouvo kontra Bondye fè avè nou nan san mwen. Se pou nou fè sa chak fwa n'ap bwè ladan l' pou nou ka chonje mwen.

26 Se konsa, chak fwa n'ap manje pen sa a, chak fwa n'ap bwè nan gode sa a, se lanmò Kris la n'ap anonse jouk jou Seyè a gen pou l' vini an.

27 Se poutèt sa, si yon moun manje pen Seyè a, osinon li bwè nan gode Seyè a yon jan ki pa konvenab, moun sa a koupab, paske li peche ni kont kò Seyè a ni kont san li an.

28 Se pou chak moun egzaminen tèt yo byen anvan. Se konsa y'a mèt manje pen sa a, y'a mèt bwè nan gode sa a.

29 Si yon moun manje pen sa a, si l' bwè nan gode sa a san li pa rekonèt rapò pen an ansanm ak diven an gen avèk kò Seyè a, se rale l'ap rale yon jijman sou tèt li lè l'ap manje pen an ak lè l'ap bwè nan gode a.

30 Se sak fè gen anpil moun malad konsa nan mitan nou, anpil moun k'ap soufri feblès, san konte sa ki mouri deja.

31 Si nou te egzaminen tèt nou byen anvan, nou pa ta tonbe anba jijman Bondye a.

32 Men, Seyè a jije nou, li peni nou konsa pou li sa pa kondannen nou ansanm ak moun ki nan lemonn yo.

33 Se sak fè, frè m' yo, lè nou reyini ansanm pou manje manje Seyè a, se pou yonn tann lòt.

34 Si yon moun grangou, se pou l' manje lakay li, pou l' pa rale jijman Bondye sou nou lè nou reyini. Pou lòt keksyon yo, m'a regle sa lè m'a rive lakay nou.

Worship and the Lord’s Supper

11 Imitate(A) me, just as I also imitate Christ.

Head Coverings

Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you. But I want you to know that (B)the head of every man is Christ, (C)the head of woman is man, and (D)the head of Christ is God. Every man praying or (E)prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head. But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were (F)shaved. For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is (G)shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since (H)he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. For man is not from woman, but woman (I)from man. Nor was man created for the woman, but woman (J)for the man. 10 For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. 11 Nevertheless, (K)neither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord. 12 For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God.

13 Judge among yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him? 15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given [a]to her for a covering. 16 But (L)if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, (M)nor do the churches of God.

Conduct at the Lord’s Supper

17 Now in giving these instructions I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse. 18 For first of all, when you come together as a church, (N)I hear that there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it. 19 For (O)there must also be factions among you, (P)that those who are approved may be [b]recognized among you. 20 Therefore when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper. 21 For in eating, each one takes his own supper ahead of others; and one is hungry and (Q)another is drunk. 22 What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise (R)the church of God and (S)shame [c]those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.

Institution of the Lord’s Supper(T)

23 For (U)I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: (V)that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, [d]“Take, eat; this is My body which is [e]broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death (W)till He comes.

Examine Yourself

27 Therefore whoever eats (X)this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and [f]blood of the Lord. 28 But (Y)let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For he who eats and drinks [g]in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the [h]Lord’s body. 30 For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many [i]sleep. 31 For (Z)if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, (AA)we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

33 Therefore, my brethren, when you (AB)come together to eat, wait for one another. 34 But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And the rest I will set in order when I come.

Head Coverings

Now I commend you (B)because you remember me in everything and (C)maintain the traditions (D)even as I delivered them to you. But I want you to understand that (E)the head of every man is Christ, (F)the head of a wife[a] is her husband,[b] and (G)the head of Christ is God. Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, but every wife[c] who prays or (H)prophesies (I)with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since it is the same (J)as if her head were shaven. For if a wife will not cover her head, then she should cut her hair short. But since it is disgraceful for a wife to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her head. For a man ought not to cover his head, since (K)he is the image and glory of God, but (L)woman is the glory of man. For (M)man was not made from woman, but woman from man. Neither was man created for woman, but (N)woman for man. 10 That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.[d] 11 Nevertheless, (O)in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman; 12 for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And (P)all things are from God. 13 Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a wife to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for him, 15 but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering. 16 (Q)If anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, nor do (R)the churches of God.

The Lord's Supper

17 But 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 For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, (S)I hear that there are divisions among you. And I believe it in part,[e] 19 for (T)there must be factions among you in order (U)that those who are genuine among you may be recognized. 20 When you come together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat. 21 For in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal. One goes hungry, (V)another gets drunk. 22 What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise (W)the church of God and (X)humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you in this? No, I will not.

23 For (Y)I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that (Z)the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for[f] you. Do this in remembrance of me.”[g] 25 In the same way also he took 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 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death (AA)until he comes.

27 (AB)Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord (AC)in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning (AD)the body and blood of the Lord. 28 (AE)Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30 That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some (AF)have died.[h] 31 (AG)But if we judged[i] ourselves truly, we would not be judged. 32 But when we are judged by the Lord, (AH)we are disciplined[j] so that we may not be (AI)condemned along with the world.

33 So then, my brothers,[k] when you come together to eat, wait for[l] one another— 34 (AJ)if anyone is hungry, (AK)let him eat at home—so that when you come together it will not be for judgment. About the other things (AL)I will give directions (AM)when I come.
