1 He reproves them, because in holy assemblies,
4 their men prayed with their heads covered,
6 and women with their heads uncovered;
17 and because generally their meetings were not for the better, but for the worse;
21 as, namely, in profaning with their own feast the Lord's supper.
25 Lastly, he calls them to the first institution thereof.

Be ye. 4:16 10:33 Php 3:17 1Th 1:6 2Th 3:9 Heb 6:12

2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.

that. 4:17 15:2

keep. 7:17 Lu 1:6 1Th 4:1,2 2Th 2:15 3:6

ordinances. or, traditions.

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, dishonoureth his head.

or. 12:10,28 14:1 *etc:

having. 14 2Sa 15:30 19:4

5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

or. Lu 2:36 Ac 2:17 21:9

shaven. De 21:12

6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

but. Nu 5:18 De 22:5

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.

he is. Ge 1:26,27 5:1 9:6 Ps 8:6 Jas 3:9

but. 3 Ge 3:16

8 For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.

Ge 2:21,22 1Ti 2:13

9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

the man. Ge 2:18,20,23,24

10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

power. That is, a covering in sign that she is under the power of her husband. [Exousia,] appears here to be used for the sign or token of being under power or authority, that is, a veil, as Theophylact, (Ecumenius, and Photius) explain; and so one MS. of the Vulgate, the Sixtine edition, and some copies of the Itala, have velamen.

Ge 20:16 24:64,65

because. Ec 5:6 Mt 18:10 Heb 1:14

11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

7:10-14 12:12-22 Ga 3:28

12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.

but. 8:6 Pr 16:4 Ro 11:36 Heb 1:2,3

13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?

10:15 Lu 12:57 Joh 7:24

14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

if. 2Sa 14:26

it is. 14:35

15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

covering. or, veil. 15

16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

I praise. 2,22 Le 19:17 Pr 27:5 Ro 13:3 1Pe 2:14

that ye. 20,34 14:23,26 Isa 1:13,14 58:1-4 Jer 7:9,10 Heb 10:25

18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

I hear. 1:10-12 3:3 5:1 6:1

divisions. or, schisms. 1:10 3:3

19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

20 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.

this is not to eat. or, ye cannot eat. 20

21 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:

the same. Mt 26:2,17,34

took. Mt 26:26-28 Mr 14:22-24 Lu 22:19,20 Ac 20:7

24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

eat. 5:7,8 Ps 22:26,29 Pr 9:5 So 5:1 Isa 25:6 55:1-3 Joh 6:53-58

this. 27,28 10:3,4,16,17

in remembrance. or, for a remembrance. Ex 12:14 Jos 4:7 Ps 111:4 So 1:4 Isa 26:8 Mt 26:13

25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

This. 27,28

the new. Lu 22:20 2Co 3:6,14 Heb 9:15-20 13:20

26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

ye do shew. or, shew ye. till. 4:5 15:23 Joh 14:3 21:22 Ac 1:11 1Th 4:16 2Th 1:10 2:2,3 Heb 9:28 2Pe 3:10 1Jo 2:28 Jude 1:14 Re 1:7 20:11,12 22:20

27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

whosoever. 10:21 Le 10:1-3 Nu 9:10,13 2Ch 30:18-20 Mt 22:11 Joh 6:51,63,64 13:18-27

29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

damnation. or, judgment. [Krima,] judgment, or punishment, not damnation, for it was inflicted upon the disorderly and profane for their amendment.
