15. but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering.
16. If anyone intends to quarrel about this, we have no other practice, nor do the churches of God.
17. Now in giving the following 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 there must in fact be divisions among you, so that those of you who are approved may be evident.
20. Now when you come together at the same place, you are not really eating the Lord’s Supper.
21. For when it is time to eat, everyone proceeds with his own supper. One is hungry and another becomes drunk.
22. Do you not have houses so that you can eat and drink? Or are you trying to show contempt for the church of God by shaming those who have nothing? What should I say to you? Should I praise you? I will not praise you for this!
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. In the same way, he also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, every time you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
26. For every time you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
27. For this reason, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28. A person should examine himself first, and in this way let him eat the bread and drink of the cup.
29. For the one who eats and drinks without careful regard for the body eats and drinks judgment against himself.
