7. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, 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. Neither was the man created for the woman, but the woman for the man.
10. For this cause the woman ought to have authority over her head: because of the angels.
11. Nevertheless, neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
12. For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
13. Judge in yourselves: is it honest that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
14. Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man lets his hair grow, it is dishonest?
15. But if a woman lets her hair grow, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given her for a covering.
16. With all this, if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} of God.
17. Now in this that I declare unto you 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 congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
19. For it is expedient that there also be heresies among you, so that those who are proved may become manifest among you.
20. So that when ye come together in one place, this is not eating the Lord’s supper.
21. For in eating, each one takes his own supper first: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
22. What? Do ye not have houses to eat and to drink in? or do ye despise the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} of God and shame those that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
