1 你们应该效法我, 好像我效法基督一样。
2 我称赞你们, 因为你们在一切事上都记念我, 又持守我传交给你们的教训。
3 但是我愿意你们知道, 基督是男人的头, 男人是女人的头("男人是女人的头"或译: "丈夫是妻子的头"), 神是基督的头。
4 男人祷告或讲道的时候, 如果蒙着头, 就是羞辱自己的头。
5 女人祷告或讲道的时候, 如果不蒙着头, 就是羞辱自己的头, 因为这就好像剃了头发一样。
6 女人要不蒙着头, 她就应当把头发剪了; 如果女人以为剪发或剃头是羞耻的事, 她就应当蒙着头。
7 男人不应蒙着头, 因为他是 神的形象和荣耀, 而女人是男人的荣耀。
8 因为男人不是由女人而出, 女人却是由男人而出,
9 并且男人不是为了女人而造的, 女人却是为了男人而造的。
10 因此, 为天使的缘故, 女人应当在头上有服权柄的记号。
11 然而在主里面, 女人不可以没有男人, 男人也不可以没有女人。
12 因为正如女人是由男人而出, 照样, 男人是借着女人而生; 万有都是出于 神。
13 你们自己判断一下, 女人向 神祷告的时候不蒙头, 是合适的吗?
14 人的本性不是也教导你们, 如果男人有长头发, 就是他的羞耻吗?
15 如果女人有长头发, 不就是她的荣耀吗?因为头发是给她作盖头的。
16 如果有人想要强辩, 我们却没有这种习惯, 神的众教会也没有。
17 我现在要吩咐你们, 不是要称赞你们, 因为你们聚集在一起, 并没有得到益处, 反而有害处。
18 首先, 我听说你们在聚会的时候, 你们中间起了分裂, 这话我也稍微相信。
19 你们中间会有分党结派的事, 这是必然的, 为的是要使那些经得起考验的人显明出来。
20 你们聚集在一起, 不是吃主的晚餐,
21 因为吃的时候, 各人都先吃自己的晚餐, 结果有人饥饿, 有人醉了。
22 难道你们没有家可以吃喝吗?还是你们藐视 神的教会, 使那些没有的羞愧呢?我向你们可以说什么呢?称赞你们吗?在这事上我不能称赞。
23 我当日传交给你们的, 原是从主领受的, 就是主耶稣被出卖的那一夜, 他拿起饼来,
24 祝谢了, 就擘开, 说: "这是我的身体, 为你们擘开的; 你们应当这样行, 为的是记念我。"
25 饭后, 照样拿起杯来, 说: "这杯是用我的血所立的新约, 你们每逢喝的时候, 应当这样行, 为的是记念我。"
26 你们每逢吃这饼, 喝这杯, 就是宣扬主的死, 直等到他来。
27 因此, 无论什么人若用不合适的态度吃主的饼, 喝主的杯, 就是得罪主的身体、主的血了。
28 所以人应当省察自己, 然后才吃这饼, 喝这杯。
29 因为那吃喝的人, 如果不辨明是主的身体, 就是吃喝定在自己的身上的罪了。
30 因此, 你们中间有许多人是软弱的, 患病的, 而且死了的也不少。
31 我们若仔细省察自己, 就不会受审判了。
32 然而我们被主审判的时候, 是受他的管教, 免得和世人一同被定罪。
33 所以, 我的弟兄们, 你们聚集在一起吃的时候, 要彼此等待。
34 如果有人饿了, 就应当在家里先吃, 免得你们聚集在一起的时候受到审判。其余的事, 我来的时候再作安排。
1 Be ye imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.
2 Now I praise you that ye remember me in all things, and hold fast the traditions, even as I delivered them to you. 3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoreth his head. 5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonoreth her head; for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven. 6 For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled. 7 For a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. 8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man: 9 for neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man: 10 for this cause ought the woman to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels. 11 Nevertheless, neither is the woman without the man, nor the man without the woman, in the Lord. 12 For as the woman is of the man, so is the man also by the woman; but all things are of God. 13 Judge ye in yourselves: is it seemly that a woman pray unto God unveiled? 14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a dishonor to him? 15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 16 But if any man seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
17 But in giving you this charge, I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better but for the worse. 18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and I partly believe it. 19 For there must be also factions among you, that they that are approved may be made manifest among you. 20 When therefore ye assemble yourselves together, it is not possible to eat the Lord’s supper: 21 for in your eating each one taketh before other his own supper; and one is hungry, and another is drunken. 22 What, have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this I praise you not. 23 For I received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread; 24 and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, This is my body, which is for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25 In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye proclaim the Lord’s death till he come. 27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body. 30 For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep. 31 But if we discerned ourselves, we should not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world. 33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait one for another. 34 If any man is hungry, let him eat at home; that your coming together be not unto judgment. And the rest will I set in order whensoever I come.
