1 Corinthians 11:8-22
8 |
For man is not from woman, but woman from man. |
9 |
Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man. |
10 |
For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. |
11 |
Nevertheless, neither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord. |
12 |
For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God. |
13 |
Judge among yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? |
14 |
Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him? |
15 |
But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering. |
16 |
But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God. |
17 |
Now in giving these instructions I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse. |
18 |
For first of all, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it. |
19 |
For there must also be factions among you, that those who are approved may be recognized among you. |
20 |
Therefore when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper. |
21 |
For in eating, each one takes his own supper ahead of others; and one is hungry and another is drunk. |
22 |
What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you. |
