15. But a woman, if she wears long hair, it is her glory, because her hair is given for a covering.
16. But if anyone is disposed to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.
17. But in giving this instruction I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.
18. For in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.
19. For indeed it is necessary that there be factions among you, in order that those who are approved may become evident among you.
20. Therefore, when you come together in the same place, it is not to eat the Lord’s supper.
21. For when you eat it, each one of you goes ahead to take his own supper, and one is hungry and another is drunk.
22. For do you not have houses for eating and drinking? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who do not have anything? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you!
23. For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night in which he was betrayed, took bread,
24. and after he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
25. Likewise also the cup, after they had eaten, 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 this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
