ing no
questions for conscience' sake. [10:28]But if any one says to you, This
has been offered to an idol, eat not for his sake that informed you,
and for conscience' sake. [10:29]I mean not your conscience, but that
of the other. For why is my freedom limited by the conscience of
another? [10:30]If I partake with thanks, why am I blamed for that for
which I give thanks? [10:31]Whether then you eat or drink, or whatever
you do, do all to the glory of God. [10:32]Be without offense both to
Jews and Greeks, and the church of God, [10:33]as I also please all in
all things, not seeking my own profit but that of many, that they may
be saved. [11:1]Be followers of me as I also am of Christ.

CHAPTER V.

PUBLIC WORSHIP, THE LORD'S SUPPER.

1 [11:2]I COMMEND you, brothers, that you have remembered all my
[instructions], and that you retain the traditions as I delivered them
to you. [11:3]But I wish you to know that the head of every man is
Christ, and the head of the woman, the man, and the head of Christ,
God. [11:4]Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered
disgraces his head. [11:5]But every woman praying or prophesying with
her head uncovered disgraces her head; for it is one and the same as if
she was shaved. [11:6]For if a woman is not veiled then let her hair be

or to be shaved, let her wear a veil.

2 [11:7]For a man ought not to cover his head, being an image and glory
of God; but the woman is a glory of man. [11:8]For man is not of woman,
but woman of man; [11:9]for man also was not created because of the
woman, but woman because of the man. [11:10]For this reason ought the
woman to have a power [veil] on her head because of the angels.
[11:11]But neither is woman without man, nor man without woman in the
Lord; [11:12]for as the woman is of the man, so also the man is through
the woman, but all things are from God. [11:13]Judge of yourselves; is
it becoming that a woman should pray to God unveiled? [11:14] Does not
nature herself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace
to him? [11:15]but if a woman wears long hair it is her glory; for the
hair is given her for a covering. [11:16]But if any one is disposed to
be contentious, we have no such custom neither have the churches of God.

3 [11:17]But I tell you this, not to praise you, that you come together
not for the better but for the worse. [11:18]For first, w
