14. doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man indeed have long hair, a dishonour it is to him?
15. and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her;
16. and if any one doth think to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the assemblies of God.
17. And this declaring, I give no praise, because not for the better, but for the worse ye come together;
18. for first, indeed, ye coming together in an assembly, I hear of divisions being among you, and partly I believe [it],
19. for it behoveth sects also to be among you, that those approved may become manifest among you;
20. ye, then, coming together at the same place--it is not to eat the Lord's supper;
21. for each his own supper doth take before in the eating, and one is hungry, and another is drunk;
22. why, have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or the assembly of God do ye despise, and shame those not having? what may I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I do not praise!
23. For I--I received from the Lord that which also I did deliver to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread,
24. and having given thanks, he brake, and said, `Take ye, eat ye, this is my body, that for you is being broken; this do ye--to the remembrance of me.'
25. In like manner also the cup after the supping, saying, `This cup is the new covenant in my blood; this do ye, as often as ye may drink [it] --to the remembrance of me;'
26. for as often as ye may eat this bread, and this cup may drink, the death of the Lord ye do shew forth--till he may come;
27. so that whoever may eat this bread or may drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, guilty he shall be of the body and blood of the Lord:
28. and let a man be proving himself, and so of the bread let him eat, and of the cup let him drink;
29. for he who is eating and drinking unworthily, judgment to himself he doth eat and drink--not discerning the body of the Lord.
