[1] Be ye the folowers of me, euen as I am of Christe
[2] I commende you brethren, that ye remember me in all thinges, and kepe the ordinaunces, as I deliuered them to you
[3] But I wyl that ye knowe, that Christ is the head of euery man. And the man is the womans head: And God is Christes head
[4] Euery man praying or prophesiyng, hauyng any thing on his head, shameth his head
[5] But euery woman that prayeth or prophesieth bare headed, dishonesteth her head: For that is euen all one as yf she were shauen
[6] Yf the woman be not couered, let her also be shorne. Yf it be a shame for a woman to be shorne or shauen, let her couer her head
[7] A man ought not to couer his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glorie of God: But the woman is the glorie of the man
[8] For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man
[9] Neither was the man created for the womans sake: but the woman for the mans sake
[10] For this cause ought the woman to haue power on her head, for the Angels sakes
[11] Neuerthelesse, neither is the man without the woman, neither ye woman without the man, in the Lorde
[12] For as the woman is of the man, euen so is the man by the woman, but all of God
[13] Iudge in your selues, whether it be comely that a woman pray vnto God bare headed
[14] Doth not nature it selfe teache you, that it is a shame for a man, yf he haue long heere
[15] But yf a woman haue long heere, it is a prayse for her: For her heere is geuen her to couer her withall
[16] If any man lust to striue, we haue no such custome, neither the Churches of God
[17] This I warne you of, and commende not, that ye come together, not after a better maner, but after a worse
[18] For first of all, when ye come together in the Churche, I heare that there is dissention among you, and I partly beleue it
[19] For there must be sectes among you, that they which are approued among you, myght be knowen
[20] When ye come together therfore into one place, you can not eate the Lordes supper
[21] For euery one preuenteth other, in eatyng his owne supper. And one is hungry, and another is drunken
[22] Haue ye not houses to eate & to drynke in? Despise ye the Churche of God, and shame them that haue not? What shall I say vnto you, shall I prayse you in this, I prayse you not
[23] That which I deliuered vnto you, I receaued of the Lorde. For the Lord Iesus, the same nyght in the which he was betrayed, toke bread
[24] And when he had geuen thankes, he brake it, and sayde: Take ye [and] eate, this is my body which is broke for you: This do ye in the remembraunce of me
[25] After the same maner also [he toke] the cup, when he had supped, saying: This cup is the newe testament in my blood: This do as oft as ye drynke it, in remembraunce of me
[26] For as often as ye shal eate this bread, and drynke this cup, ye shall shewe the Lordes death tyll he come
[27] Wherfore, whosoeuer shall eate this bread, and drynke this cup of the Lorde vnworthyly, shalbe gyltie of the body and blood of the Lorde
[28] But let a man examine hym selfe, and so let hym eate of this bread, and drinke of this cuppe
[29] For he that eateth and drynketh vnworthyly, eateth and drynketh his owne dampnation, [because] he maketh no difference of the Lordes body
[30] For this cause many are weake and sicke among you, and many slepe
[31] For yf we woulde iudge our selues, we shoulde not be iudged
[32] But when we are iudged, we are chastened of the Lorde, that we shoulde not be dampned with the worlde
[33] Wherfore my brethren, when ye come together to eate, tary one for another
[34] If any man hunger, let hym eate at home, that ye come not together vnto condempnation. Other thynges wyll I set in order when I come
