Roles in Worship
1 BE ye followers of me, as I also of Christ.📜💬📚
2 And I praise you brethren, that in all things you be mindful of me: and as I have delivered unto you, you keep my precepts.📜💬📚
3 And I will 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 with his head covered, dishonoureth his head.📜💬📚
5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered, dishonoureth her head: for it is all one as if she were made bald.📜💬📚
6 For if a woman be not covered, let her be polled. But if it be a foul thing for a woman to be polled or made bald, let her cover her head.📜💬📚
7 The man truly ought not to cover his head, because 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 the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man.📜💬📚
10 (Therefore ought the woman to have power upon her head for the Angels.)📜💬📚
11 But yet neither the man without the woman; nor the woman without the man, in our Lord.📜💬📚
12 For as the woman is of the man, so also the man by the woman: but all things of God.📜💬📚
13 Your selves judge: doth it become a woman not covered to pray unto God?📜💬📚
14 Neither doth nature itself teach you, that a man indeed if he nourish his hair, it is an ignominy for him:📜💬📚
15 but if a woman nourish her hair, it is a glory for her, because hair is given her for a veil?📜💬📚
16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the CHURCH of God.📜💬📚
Sharing in the Lord's Supper
17 And this I command: not praising it, that you come together not to better, but to worse.📜💬📚
18 First indeed when you come together into the Church, I hear that there are schisms among you, and in part I believe it.📜💬📚
19 For there must be heresies also: that they also which are approved, may be made manifest among you.📜💬📚
20 When you come therefore together in one, is it not now to eat our Lord's supper.📜💬📚
21 For every one taketh his own supper before to eat. And one certes is an hungered, and another is drunk.📜💬📚
22 Why, have you not houses to eat and drink in? or contemn ye the Church of God: and confound them that have not? What shall I say to you? praise I you in this? I do not praise you.📜💬📚
23 For I received of our Lord that which also I have delivered unto you, that our Lord JESUS in the night that he was betrayed, took bread:📜💬📚
24 and giving thanks brake, and said: Take ye & eat, THIS IS MY BODY WHICH SHALL BE DELIVERED FOR YOU. This do ye for the commemoration of me.📜💬📚
25 In like manner also the chalice after he had supped, saying: THIS CHALICE IS THE NEW TESTAMENT IN MY BLOOD. This do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me.📜💬📚
26 For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of our Lord, until he come.📜💬📚
27 Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of our Lord unworthily, he shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of our Lord.📜💬📚
28 But let a man prove himself: and so, let him eat of that bread, and drink of the chalice.📜💬📚
29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgement to himself, not discerning the body of our Lord.📜💬📚
30 Therefore are there among you many weak and feeble, and many sleep.📜💬📚
31 But if we did judge our selves, we should not be judged.📜💬📚
32 But whiles we are judged, of our Lord we are chastised; that with this world we be not damned.📜💬📚
33 Therefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, expect one another.📜💬📚
34 If any man be an hungered, let him eat at home; that you come not together unto judgement. And the rest I will dispose, when I come.📜💬📚
