1 Cor 4.16. Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.

2 Thess 2.15. I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you. 3#Eph 1.22; 4.15; 5.23; Col 1.8; 2.19. But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. 4Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, 5#Lk 2.36; Acts 21.9; 1 Cor 14.34. but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head—it is the same as if her head were shaven. 6For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her wear a veil. 7#Gen 1.26. For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. 8#Gen 2.21-23. (For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. 9#Gen 2.18. Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.) 10That is why a woman ought to have a veil#11.10 Greek authority (the veil being a symbol of this) on her head, because of the angels. 11(Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman; 12#2 Cor 5.18; Rom 11.36. for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God.) 13Judge for yourselves; is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14Does not nature itself teach you that for a man to wear long hair is degrading to him, 15but if a woman has long hair, it is her pride? For her hair is given to her for a covering. 16#1 Cor 7.17. If any one is disposed to be contentious, we recognize no other practice, nor do the churches of God.
17But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse. 18#1 Cor 1.10. For, in the first place, when you assemble as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it, 19for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized. 20When you meet together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat. 21For in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal, and one is hungry and another is drunk. 22What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you in this? No, I will not.

Mt 26.26-28; Mk 14.22-24; Lk 22.17-19; 1 Cor 10.16. #1 Cor 15.3. For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for#11.24 Other ancient authorities read broken for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25#2 Cor 3.6; Lk 22.20. In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26#1 Cor 4.5. For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
27Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. 28Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself. 30That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.#11.30 Greek have fallen asleep (as in 15.6,20) 31But if we judged ourselves truly, we should not be judged. 32#1 Cor 1.20. But when we are judged by the Lord, we are chastened#11.32 Or when we are judged we are being chastened by the Lord so that we may not be condemned along with the world.
33So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another— 34#1 Cor 4.19. if any one is hungry, let him eat at home—lest you come together to be condemned. About the other things I will give directions when I come.

1Imitate me, as I also imitate Christ. # Php 2:5; 1Pt 2:21
Instructions about Head Coverings
2Now I praise you # Other mss add brothers, because you always remember me and keep the traditions # 2Th 2:15; 3:6 just as I delivered # Jd 3 them to you. 3But I want you to know that Christ is the head # Eph 1:22; 4:15; Col 1:18; 2:10,19 of every man, and the man is the head of the woman, # Or the husband is the head of the wife # Gn 3:16; Eph 5:23 and God is the head of Christ. # 1Co 3:23 4Every man who prays or prophesies with something on his head dishonors # 1Pt 3:16 his head. 5But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since that is one and the same as having her head shaved. # Dt 21:11-12 6So if a woman’s head # Lit a woman is not covered, her hair should be cut off. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, she should be covered.
7A man, in fact, should not cover his head, because he is God’s image # Gn 1:27 and glory, # Mk 10:37; Lk 9:32; Jn 17:24; 2Co 3:18; 2Pt 3:18 but woman is man’s glory. 8For man did not come from woman, but woman came from man. # Gn 2:21-23; 1Tm 2:13 9And man was not created for woman, but woman for man. 10This is why a woman should have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. 11In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, and man is not independent of woman. 12For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman, and all things come from God. # Ps 104:24; Rv 3:14
13Judge # Jn 5:22-30 for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14Does not even nature itself teach # Mt 28:20; Ac 4:2; 2Tm 4:11 you that if a man has long hair it is a disgrace # 2Co 6:8 to him, 15but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? # Php 3:19 For her hair is given to her # Other mss omit to her as a covering. 16But if anyone wants to argue about this, we have no other # Or no such custom, nor do the churches of God.
The Lord’s Supper
17Now in giving the following instruction I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse. 18For to begin with, I hear that when you come together as a church there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it. 19There must, indeed, be factions # 2Pt 2:1 among you, so that those who are approved may be recognized among you. 20Therefore, when you come together, it is not really to eat the Lord’s Supper. # Mt 26:26-29; Mk 14:22-25; Lk 22:14-20; 1Co 10:14-22 21For at the meal, each one eats his own supper ahead of others. So one person is hungry while another gets drunk! 22Don’t you have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you look down on the church of God and embarrass those who have nothing? What should I say to you? Should I praise you? I do not praise you for this!
23For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: # Jd 3 On the night when He was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took bread, 24gave thanks, broke it, and said, # Other mss add “Take, eat. “This is My body, which is # Other mss add broken for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.” # Lk 22:19
25In the same way, after supper He also took the cup and said, “This cup is the new covenant # Lk 22:20 established by My blood. # Jn 6:54 Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” 26For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death # Php 2:8; 3:10 until He comes. # Mk 8:38
Self-Examination
27Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy way will be guilty of sin against the body # Lit be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28So a man should examine himself; in this way he should eat the bread and drink from the cup. 29For whoever eats and drinks without recognizing the body, # Other mss read drinks unworthily, not discerning the Lord’s body eats and drinks judgment # Mk 12:40; 1Jn 5:16 on himself. 30This is why many are sick and ill among you, and many have fallen asleep. # Jn 11:11; Ac 7:60; 1Th 4:13-15 31If we were properly evaluating ourselves, we would not be judged, 32but when we are judged, # Jn 5:22-30 we are disciplined by the Lord, so that we may not be condemned # Mt 12:41; Jn 5:22 with the world.
33Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. 34If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you gather together you will not come under judgment. And I will give instructions about the other matters whenever I come. # 1Co 4:19
