Propriety
In Worship
FOLLOW
MY EXAMPLE, AS I FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE OF CHRIST.
2 I
praise you for remembering me in everything
And
for holding to the Teachings,
Just
as I passed them on to you.
3
Now I want you to realize
that
the Head of every man is Christ,
and
the Head of the woman is man,
And
the Head of Christ is God.
4
Every man who Prays or Prophesies with his Head covered
Dishonors
his Head.
5
And every woman who Prays or Prophesies
With
her Head uncovered dishonors her Head--
It
is just as though her Head were shaved.
6
If a woman does not cover her head,
She
should have her hair cut off;
And
if it is a Disgrace for a woman
To
have her hair cut or shaved off,
She
should cover he Head.
7 A
man ought not to cover his Head,
Since
he is the Image and Glory of God;
But
the woman is the Glory of man.
8
FOR THE MAN DID NOT COME FROM THE WOMAN,
BUT
THE WOMAN FROM MAN;
9
NEITHER WAS MAN CREATED FOR WOMAN,
BUT
WOMAN FOR MAN.
10
For this reason,
And
because of the angels,
THE
WOMAN OUGHT TO HAVE A SIGN OF AUTHORITY
ON
HER HEAD.
11
IN THE LORD, HOWEVER,
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.
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.
The
Lord's Supper
17
In the following Directives I have no praise for you,
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 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.
20
When you come together,
It
is not the Lord's Supper you eat,
21
For as you eat, each of your goes ahead
Without
waiting for anybody else.
One
remains hungry, another gets drunk.
22
Don't you have homes to eat and drink in?
Or
do you Despise the Church of God
And
Humiliate those who have nothing?
What
shall I say to you?
Shall
I praise you for this?
Certainly
not!
23
FOR I RECEIVED FROM THE LORD
WHAT
I ALSO PASSED ON TO YOU:
The
Lord Jesus, on the night He was Betrayed,
24
Took bread, and He broke it and said,
'This
is my Body, which is for you;
Do
this in Remembrance of Me.'
25
In the same way,
After
supper He took the Cup, saying,
'This
is the New Covenant in My blood;
Do
this, whenever you drink it,
In
Remembrance of Me.'
26
FOR WHEN EVER YOU EAT THIS BREAD
AND
DRINK THIS CUP,
YOU
PROCLAIM THE LORD'S DEATH
UNTIL
HE COMES.
27
Therefore, 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 HE LORD.
28
A MAN OUGHT TO EXAMINE HIMSELF
BEFORE
HE EATS OF THE BREAD
AND
DRINKS OF THE CUP.
29
FOR ANYONE WHO EATS AND DRINKS
WITHOUT
RECOGNIZING THE BODY OF THE LORD
EATS
AND DRINKS JUDGMENT ON HIMSELF.
30
THAT IS WHY MANY OF YOU ARE WEAK AND SICK,
AND
A NUMBER OF YOU HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP.
31
BUT IF WE JUDGED OURSELVES,
WE
WOULD NOT COME UNDER JUDGMENT.
32
WHEN WE ARE JUDGED BY THE LORD,
WE
ARE BEING DISCIPLINED
SO
THAT WE WILL NOT BE CONDEMNED WITH THE WORLD.
33
So then, my brothers,
When
you come together to eat,
Wait
for each other.
34
If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home,
So
that when you meet together
It
may not result in Judgment.
And
when I come I will give further directions.
(1
Corinthians 11)
