1 Corinthians

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

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

For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?

Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man"s conscience?

But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord"s, and the fulness thereof:

If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.

For the earth is the Lord"s, and the fulness thereof.

Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:

Let no man seek his own, but every man another"s wealth.
