¹For I do not want you to be  ²ignorant, brothers, that  ³all our fathers were under the  ⁴cloud, and all passed through the sea;

And all were  ¹baptized  ²unto Moses  ³in the cloud and in the sea;

And all ate the same  ¹spiritual food,

And all drank the same  ¹spiritual drink; for they drank of a  ²spiritual rock which followed them, and the rock was Christ.

But with most of them God was not well pleased, for they were  ¹strewn along in the wilderness.

Now these things occurred as  ¹examples to  ²us, that we should not be ones who lust after evil things, even as they also lusted.

Neither become  ¹idolaters, as some of them did; as it is written, “The people sat down to  ¹eat and drink, and stood up to play.”

Neither let us commit  ¹fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and there  ²fell in one day twenty-three thousand.

Neither let us  ¹test Christ, as some of them tested Him and were destroyed by the serpents.

Neither  ¹murmur, just as some of them murmured and perished by the  ²destroyer.

Now these things  ¹happened to them as an example, and they were written for our admonition, unto whom the  ²ends of the ages  ³have come.

 ¹So then let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he  ²fall.

 ¹No  ²temptation has taken you except  ³that which is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow that you be  ⁴tempted beyond what you are able, but will, with the  ²temptation, also make the way out, that you may be able to endure it.

 ¹Therefore, my beloved, flee from  ²idolatry.

I speak as to prudent men; you judge what I say.

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the fellowship of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the  ¹fellowship of the body of Christ?

Seeing that there is  ¹one bread, we who are many are one Body; for we all  ²partake of the one bread.

Look at Israel according to the flesh. Are not those who eat the sacrifices those who  ¹have fellowship with the  ²altar?

What then am I saying? That what is sacrificed to an idol is anything? Or that an idol is anything?

No, but that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to  ¹demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become  ²those who have fellowship with demons.

You cannot  ¹drink the Lord's cup and the demons' cup; you cannot partake of the Lord's table and of the demons' table.

Or do we  ¹provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

 ¹All things are  ²lawful, but not all things are  ³profitable; all things are  ²lawful, but not all things  ⁴build up.

Let no one seek his own profit, but that of the other.

Everything sold in a  ¹meat market eat, asking no questions for conscience' sake;

For the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof.

If any of the unbelievers invites you and you wish to go, eat everything that is set before you, asking no question for conscience' sake.

But if anyone says to you, This has been offered in sacrifice, do not eat, for his sake who pointed it out and for conscience' sake.

Conscience, I say, not your own, but the other's. For why is my freedom judged by some other conscience?

If I  ¹partake with thankfulness, why am I spoken evil of concerning that for which I give thanks?

 ¹Therefore  ²whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

 ¹Do not become a stumbling block, both to  ²Jews and to Greeks and to the church of God;

Even as  ¹I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own advantage but that of the many, that they may be saved.

 ¹Be imitators of  ²me, as I also am of Christ.

But I praise you because in all things you have remembered me and hold fast the  ¹things that I have handed down even as I handed  ¹them down to you.

But I want you to know that  ¹Christ is the head of every man, and the  ²man is the head of the woman, and  ³God is the head of Christ.

Every man praying or  ¹prophesying with his head covered  ²disgraces his head.

But every woman praying or prophesying with her head  ¹uncovered disgraces her head; for it is one and the same as she who is  ²shaved.

For if a woman is not covered, let her hair also be cut off; but if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved,  ¹let her be covered.

For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is  ¹God's image and glory; but the woman is the  ²glory of the man.

For man is not out of woman, but  ¹woman out of man;

For also man was not  ¹created for the sake of the woman, but  ²woman for the sake of the man.

Therefore the woman ought to have a  ¹sign of submission to authority on her head for the  ²sake of the angels.

However neither is woman without man, nor man without woman,  ¹in the Lord.

For just as the woman is out from the man, so also is the man  ¹through the woman; but all things are out from God.

Judge this in your own selves: Is it fitting for a woman to pray uncovered to God?

Does not even  ¹nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him,

But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, because her long hair has been given to her for a covering.

But if anyone seems to be contentious, we do not have  ¹such a custom of being so, neither the  ²churches of God.

 ¹But I give you  ²this charge and do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

For first of all, when you come together  ¹in the church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and some part of it I believe.

For there must even be  ¹parties among you, that those who are  ²approved may become  ³manifest among you.

When therefore you come together in the same place, it is not to eat the  ¹Lord's supper;

For in your eating, each one takes his own  ¹supper first, and one is hungry and the other is drunk.

Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and put those to shame who have not? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I do not praise you.

For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was  ¹betrayed took bread,

And having given thanks, He  ¹broke it and said, This is My body, which is given for you; this do  ²unto the  ³remembrance of Me.

Similarly also the cup after they had dined, saying, This  ¹cup is the new covenant established in My blood; this do, as often as you  ²drink it, unto the remembrance of Me.

For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you  ¹declare the Lord's death  ²until He comes.

So then whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an  ¹unworthy manner will  ²be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.

But let a man  ¹prove himself, and in this way let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks  ¹judgment to himself if he does not  ²discern  ³the body.

Because of  ¹this many among you are  ²weak and sick, and a number  ³sleep.

But if we  ¹discerned ourselves, we would not be judged.

But being  ¹judged by the Lord, we are disciplined that we may not be  ²condemned with the world.

So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat,  ¹wait for one another.

If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, that you may not come together for judgment. And the  ¹rest I will set in order when I come.

Now concerning  ¹spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.

You know that when you were Gentiles, you were always being led away to dumb idols, whenever and however you were  ¹led.

Therefore I make known to you that no one  ¹speaking in the Spirit of God says, Jesus is  ²accursed; and  ³no one can say, Jesus is Lord! except in the Holy Spirit.

 ¹But there are  ²distinctions of  ³gifts, but the same Spirit;

And there are distinctions of  ¹ministries, yet the same Lord;

And there are distinctions of  ¹operations, but the same  ²God, who operates all things in all.

But to each one is given the  ¹manifestation of the Spirit  ²for what is profitable.

For to one through the Spirit a  ¹word of wisdom is given, and to another a  ¹word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;

To a different one  ¹faith in the same Spirit, and to another  ²gifts of healing in the one Spirit,

And to another operations of  ¹works of power, and to another  ²prophecy, and to another  ³discerning of spirits; to a different one various kinds of  ⁴tongues, and to another  ⁵interpretation of tongues.

But the one and the same Spirit operates all these things, distributing to each one respectively even as He purposes.

 ¹For even as the body is one and has many members, yet all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is  ²the Christ.

For also in  ¹one Spirit we were all baptized into  ²one Body, whether  ³Jews or Greeks, whether  ⁴slaves or free, and were all given to  ⁵drink one Spirit.

For the body is not one member but many.

If the foot should say, Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body, it is not that because of this it is not of the body.

And if the ear should say, Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body, it is not that because of this it is not of the body.

If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were the hearing, where would the smelling be?

But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, even as He willed.

And if all were one member, where would the body be?

But now the members are many, but the body one.

And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you; nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

But much rather the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.

And those members of the body which we consider to be less honorable, these we clothe with more abundant honor; and our uncomely members come to have more abundant comeliness,

But our comely members have no need. But God has  ¹blended the body together, giving more abundant honor to the member that lacked,

That there would be no division in the body, but that the members would have the  ¹same care for one another.

And whether one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or one member is glorified, all the members rejoice with it.

Now you are the Body of Christ, and members individually.

And God has placed some in the  ¹church: first  ²apostles, second  ³prophets, third  ⁴teachers; then  ⁵works of power, then  ⁶gifts of healing,  ⁷helps,  ⁸administrations, various kinds of  ⁹tongues.

Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all have works of power?

Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret tongues?

But  ¹earnestly desire the  ²greater gifts. And moreover I show to you a  ³most excellent way.
