Translated from Hebrew and Greek with AI, then checked for clarity and fidelity.

1. Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.
2. I commend you because you remember me in everything and hold the traditions just as I delivered them to you.
3. But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, the man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of Christ.
4. Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.
5. But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for it is one and the same as if she had been shaved.
6. For if a woman is not covered, let her be shorn as well. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.
7. A man indeed ought not to cover his head, for he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man.
8. For man is not out of woman, but woman out of man.
9. For man was not created for the woman, but woman for the man.
10. For this reason the woman ought to have authority on her head because of the angels.
11. Nevertheless, neither is the woman apart from the man, nor the man apart from the woman, in the Lord.
12. For as the woman is from the man, so also the man is through the woman; but all things are from God.
13. Judge for yourselves: is it fitting for a woman to pray to God uncovered?
14. Doesn't nature itself teach you that if a man indeed wears long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
15. But if a woman has long hair, it is her glory, because her hair has been given her as a covering.
16. But if anyone seems contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.
17. But in commanding you this, I do not commend you, because you assemble not for the better but for the worse.
18. For first of all, when you assemble in church, I hear divisions exist among you, and I believe part of it.
19. For there must also be factions among you, so that those approved may also become evident among you.
20. Therefore, when you come together in one place, you are not eating the Lord's supper.
21. For when eating, each one takes his own supper ahead of time, while one is hungry and another is drunk.
22. For don't you have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise God's church and shame those who do not have? What am I to say to you? Am I to praise you? In this I do not praise you.
23. For I received from the Lord what I also handed over to you: the Lord Jesus took bread on the night he was handed over.
24. And after giving thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body for you; do this in remembrance of me."
25. Likewise he also took the cup after dining, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this as often as you drink, for my remembrance."
26. For whenever you eat this bread and drink the cup, you declare the Lord's death until he comes.
27. So whoever eats the bread or drinks the Lord's cup unworthily will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
28. But let a person examine himself, and thus eat from the bread and drink from the cup.
29. For whoever eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.
30. For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a good number sleep.
31. For if we were discerning ourselves, we would not be judged.
32. But when judged by the Lord, we are disciplined, so that we might not be condemned with the world.
33. So, my brothers, when you assemble to eat, wait for one another.
34. If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you do not assemble for judgment. The rest I will direct whenever I come.
