11. Woman is not independent of man or man of woman in the Lord.
12. For just as woman came from man, so man is born of woman; but all things are from God.
13. Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head unveiled?
14. Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears his hair long it is a disgrace to him,
15. whereas if a woman has long hair it is her glory, because long hair has been given [her] for a covering?
16. But if anyone is inclined to be argumentative, we do not have such a custom, nor do the churches of God.
17. In giving this instruction, I do not praise the fact that your meetings are doing more harm than good.
18. First of all, I hear that when you meet as a church there are divisions among you, and to a degree I believe it;
19. there have to be factions among you in order that (also) those who are approved among you may become known.
20. When you meet in one place, then, it is not to eat the Lord’s supper,
21. for in eating, each one goes ahead with his own supper, and one goes hungry while another gets drunk.
22. Do you not have houses in which you can eat and drink? Or do you show contempt for the church of God and make those who have nothing feel ashamed? What can I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this matter I do not praise you.
