¹ This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;

² male and female created he them, and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

³ And Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and begat [a son] in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:

⁴ and the days of Adam after he begat Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters.

⁵ And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

⁶ And Seth lived a hundred and five years, and begat Enosh:

¹ Be ye imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.

² Now I praise you that ye remember me in all things, and hold fast the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.

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, dishonoreth his head.

⁵ But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonoreth her head; for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven.

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

⁷ For a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled, 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 for neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man:

¹⁰ for this cause ought the woman to have [a sign of] authority on her head, because of the angels.

¹¹ Nevertheless, neither is the woman without the man, nor the man without the woman, in the Lord.

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

¹³ Judge ye in yourselves: is it seemly that a woman pray unto God unveiled?

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

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

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

¹⁷ But in giving you this charge, 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 church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and I partly believe it.

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

²⁰ When therefore ye assemble yourselves together, it is not possible to eat the Lord's supper:

²¹ for in your eating each one taketh before [other] his own supper; and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

²² What, have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this I praise you not.

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

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

²⁵ In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye drink [it], in remembrance of me.

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

²⁷ Wherefore whosoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

²⁸ But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

²⁹ For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body.

³⁰ For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.

³¹ But if we discerned ourselves, we should not be judged.

³² But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

³³ Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait one for another.

³⁴ If any man is hungry, let him eat at home; that your coming together be not unto judgment. And the rest will I set in order whensoever I come.
