Nararapat na Pagsamba

11 Tumulad kayo sa akin gaya ko na tumulad din kay Cristo.

Mga kapatid, pinupuri ko kayo na sa lahat ng mga bagay ay naalala ninyo ako. Sinusunod din ninyo ang mga kaugalian ayon sa pagkakatagubilin ko sa inyo.

Ibig kong malaman ninyo na ang pangulo ng bawat lalaki ay si Cristo. Ang pangulo ng bawat babae ay ang lalaki. Ang pangulo ni Cristo ay ang Diyos. Ang bawat lalaking nanana­langin o naghahayag nang may takip ang ulo, ay nagbibigay ng kahihiyan sa kaniyang ulo. Ang bawat babaeng nananalangin at naghahayag nang walang panakip ng ulo aynagbibigay ng kahihiyan sa kaniyang ulo. Ang walang panakip ng ulo ng babae ay tulad na rin ng inahitan ng buhok. Ito ay sapagkat kung ang babae ay walang panakip ng ulo, magpagupit na rin siya. Ngunit kung kahihiyan para sa babae ang siya ay magpagupit o magpaahit, maglagay na lang siya ng panakip ng ulo. Ito ay sapagkat ang lalaki ay hindi na dapat magtakip ng ulo dahil ito ang wangis at kaluwalhatian ng Diyos. Ang babae ay ang kaluwalhatian ng lalaki. Ito ay sapagkat ang lalaki ay hindi nagmula sa babae. Ang babae ang siyang nagmula sa lalaki. Ito ay sapagkat ang lalaki ay hindi nilikha para sa babae kundi ang babae aynilikha para sa lalaki. 10 Dahil dito ang babae ay kailangan ding magkaroon ng kapangyarihan sa kaniyang ulo alang-alang sa mga anghel.

11 Magkagayunman, sa Panginoon ang lalaki ay hindi hiwalay sa babae at ang babae ay hindi hiwalay sa lalaki. 12 Ito ay sapagkat ang babae ay nagmula sa lalaki, gayundin naman ang lalaki ay ipinanganganak ng babae. Ngunit ang lahat ng bagay ay nagmula sa Diyos. 13 Kayo ang humatol. Nararapat ba sa isang babae ang manalangin sa Diyos nang walang lambong? 14 Hindi ba ang kalikasan na rin ang nagturo na kapag mahaba ang buhok ng lalaki, iyon ay kasiraang dangal sa kaniya? 15 Ngunit sa babae, kung mahaba ang buhok niya, iyon ay kaluwalhatian sa kaniya sapagkat ang mahabang buhok ay ibinigay sa kaniya bilang panakip. 16 Kung may nagnanais makipagtalo patungkol sa bagay na ito, wala na kaming ibang kaugalian, maging ang mga iglesiya ng Diyos.

Ang Hapag ng Panginoon

17 Ngayon, sa sasabihin ko, hindi ko kayo pinupuri sapagkat ang pagtitipon ninyo ay hindi para sa ikabubuti kundi sa lalong ikasasama.

18 Ito ay sapagkat una sa lahat, sa pagtitipun-tipon ninyo sa iglesiya, naririnig ko na may pagkakampi-kampi sa inyo. Naniniwala ako na maaaring ito ay totoo. 19 Ito ay sapagkat kinakailangang mahayag ang pangkat na nagtuturo ng mga kamalian na nasa inyo nang sa gayon ay mahayag ang mga katanggap-tangap sa Diyos. 20 Sa pagtitipon ninyo sa isang dako, hindi kayo nagtitipon upang kumain ng hapunan ng Panginoon. 21 Ito ay sapagkat sa inyong pagkain, ang bawat isa ay kumakain ng kani-kaniyang hapunan nang una sa iba. Kaya ang isa ay gutom at ang isa ay lasing. 22 Hindi ba mayroon kayong mga bahay upang doon kumain at uminom? O baka naman hinahamak ninyo ang iglesiya ng Diyos at ipinapahiya ang mga walang pagkain? Ano ang dapat kong sabihin? Pupurihin ko ba kayo sa ganito? Hindi ko kayo pupurihin.

23 Ito ay sapagkat tinanggap ko mula sa Panginoon ang siya ko namang ibinibigay sa inyo. Ang Panginoong Jesus, nang gabing siya ay ipinagkanulo, ay kumuha ng tinapay. 24 Pagka­tapos niyang magpasalamat, pinagputul-putol niya ito, at sinabi: Kunin ninyo, kainin ninyo, ito ang aking katawan na pinagputul-putol para sa inyo. Gawin ninyo ito sa pag-alaala sa akin. 25 Sa gayunding paraan kinuha niya ang saro pagkatapos maghapunan. Sinabi niya: Ang sarong ito ay ang bagong tipan sa aking dugo. Sa tuwing kayo ay iinom nito, gawin ninyo ito sa pag-alaala sa akin. 26 Ito ay sapagkat sa tuwing kakain kayo ng tinapay na ito at iinom sa sarong ito, inihahayag ninyo ang kamatayan ng Panginoon hanggang sa siya ay dumating.

27 Ang sinumang kumain ng tinapay at uminom sa saro ng hindi nararapat ay nagkakasala sa katawan at dugo ng Panginoon. 28 Ngunit suriin muna ng tao ang kaniyang sarili. Pagkatapos hayaan siyang kumain ng tinapay at uminom sa saro. 29 Ito ay sapagkat siya na kumakain at umiinom nang hindi karapat-dapat ay kumakain at umiinom ng kahatulan sa kaniyang sarili. Hindi niya kinikilala nang tama ang katawan ng Panginoon. 30 Dahil dito marami sa inyo ang mahihina at may karamdaman at marami ang natulog na. 31 Ito ay sapagkat hindi tayo hahatulan kung hahatulan natin ang ating mga sarili. 32 Kung tayo ay hinahatulan, tayo ay tinuturuan upang hindi tayo mahatulang kasama ng sanlibutan.

33 Kaya nga, mga kapatid, sa inyong pagtitipon upang kumain, maghintayan kayo sa isa’t isa. 34 Kapag ang sinuman ay nagugutom, hayaan siyang kumain muna sa bahay. Ito ay upang hindi kayo magtipun-tipon sa kahatulan.

Aayusin ko ang ibang mga bagay sa pagdating ko.

11 try to imitate me, even as I myself try to imitate the Messiah.

Now I praise you because you have remembered everything I told you and observe the traditions just the way I passed them on to you. But I want you to understand that the head of every man is the Messiah, and the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of the Messiah is God. Every man who prays or prophesies wearing something down over his head brings shame to his head, but every woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled brings shame to her head — there is no difference between her and a woman who has had her head shaved. For if a woman is not veiled, let her also have her hair cut short; but if it is shameful for a woman to wear her hair cut short or to have her head shaved, then let her be veiled. For a man indeed should not have his head veiled, because he is the image and glory of God, and the woman is the glory of man. For man was not made from woman, but woman from man; and indeed man was not created for the sake of the woman but woman for the sake of the man. 10 The reason a woman should show by veiling her head that she is under authority has to do with the angels. 11 Nevertheless, in union with the Lord neither is woman independent of man nor is man independent of woman; 12 for as the woman was made from the man, so also the man is now born through the woman. But everything is from God. 13 Decide for yourselves: is it appropriate for a woman to pray to God when she is unveiled? 14 Doesn’t the nature of things itself teach you that a man who wears his hair long degrades himself? 15 But a woman who wears her hair long enhances her appearance, because her hair has been given to her as a covering. 16 However, if anyone wants to argue about it, the fact remains that we have no such custom, nor do the Messianic communities of God.

17 But in giving you this next instruction I do not praise you, because when you meet together it does more harm than good! 18 For, in the first place, I hear that when you gather together as a congregation you divide up into cliques; and to a degree I believe it 19 (granted that there must be some divisions among you in order to show who are the ones in the right). 20 Thus, when you gather together, it is not to eat a meal of the Lord; 21 because as you eat your meal, each one goes ahead on his own; so that one stays hungry while another is already drunk! 22 Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? Or are you trying to show your contempt for God’s Messianic community and embarrass those who are poor? What am I supposed to say to you? Am I supposed to praise you? Well, for this I don’t praise you!

23 For what I received from the Lord is just what I passed on to you — that the Lord Yeshua, on the night he was betrayed, took bread; 24 and after he had made the b’rakhah he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this as a memorial to me”; 25 likewise also the cup after the meal, saying, “This cup is the New Covenant effected by my blood; do this, as often as you drink it, as a memorial to me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord, until he comes.

27 Therefore, whoever eats the Lord’s bread or drinks the Lord’s cup in an unworthy manner will be guilty of desecrating the body and blood of the Lord! 28 So let a person examine himself first, and then he may eat of the bread and drink from the cup; 29 for a person who eats and drinks without recognizing the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself. 30 This is why many among you are weak and sick, and some have died! 31 If we would examine ourselves, we would not come under judgment. 32 But when we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined, so that we will not be condemned along with the world.

33 So then, my brothers, when you gather together to eat, wait for one another. 34 If someone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you meet together it will not result in judgment.

As for the other matters, I will instruct you about them 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.
