²⁷ Now ^[a]at this time some ^(A)prophets came down from Jerusalem to ^(B)Antioch.

^32 (A)Judas and ^(B)Silas, also being ^(C)prophets themselves, ^[a]encouraged and strengthened ^(D)the brothers and sisters with a lengthy message.

⁶ And when Paul had ^(A)laid hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they began ^(B)speaking with tongues and ^(C)prophesying.

⁹ Now this man had four virgin daughters who were ^(A)prophetesses.

⁴ Every man who has something on his head while praying or ^(A)prophesying disgraces his head. ⁵ But every ^(B)woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for it is one and the same as the woman ^[a]whose head is ^(C)shaved. ⁶ For if a woman does not cover ^[b]her head, have her also ^[c]cut her hair off; however, if it is disgraceful for a woman to ^[d]have her hair cut off or ^[e]her head shaved, have her cover ^[f]her head. ⁷ For a man should not have his head covered, since he is the ^(D)image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. ⁸ For ^(E)man ^[g]does not originate from woman, but woman from man; ⁹ for indeed man was not created for the woman’s sake, but ^(F)woman for the man’s sake. ¹⁰ Therefore the woman should have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. ¹¹ However, in the Lord, neither is woman ^[h]independent of man, nor is man ^[i]independent of woman. ¹² For as the woman originated from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman; and ^(G)all things originate ^(H)from God. ^13 (I)Judge ^[j]for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? ¹⁴ Does even nature itself not teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him, ¹⁵ but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her as a covering. ¹⁶ But if anyone is inclined to be contentious, ^(J)we have no ^[k]such practice, nor have ^(K)the churches of God.

¹⁷ Now in giving this next instruction ^(L)I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better, but for the worse. ¹⁸ For, in the first place, when you come together ^[l]as a church, I hear that ^[m](M)divisions exist among you; and in part I believe it. ¹⁹ For there also ^(N)have to be factions among you, ^(O)so that those who are approved may become ^[n]evident among you. ²⁰ Therefore when you come together it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper, ²¹ for when you eat, each one takes his own supper first; and one goes hungry while ^(P)another gets drunk. ²² What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the ^(Q)church of God and ^(R)shame those who have nothing? What am I to say to you? Shall ^(S)I praise you? In this I do not praise you.

The Lord’s Supper

²³ For ^(T)I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that ^(U)the Lord Jesus, on the night when He was betrayed, took bread; ²⁴ and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” ²⁵ In the same way He also took ^(V)the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the ^(W)new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” ²⁶ For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death ^(X)until He comes.

²⁷ Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy way, shall be ^(Y)guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. ²⁸ But a person must ^(Z)examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. ²⁹ For the one who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not properly recognize the ^[o]body. ³⁰ For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number ^[p](AA)are asleep. ³¹ But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged. ³² But when we are judged, we are ^(AB)disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with ^(AC)the world.

³³ So then, my brothers and sisters, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. ³⁴ If anyone is ^(AD)hungry, have him eat ^(AE)at home, so that you do not come together for judgment. As to the remaining matters, I will ^(AF)give instructions ^(AG)when I come.
