Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea,

Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.

I speak as to wise men; judge for yourselves what I say.

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

For we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread.

Observe Israel after the flesh: Are not those who eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?

What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything?

all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,

Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons.

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

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

Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for conscience' sake;

for "the earth is the LORD's, and all its fullness."

If any of those who do not believe invites you to dinner, and you desire to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience' sake.

But if anyone says to you, "This was offered to idols," do not eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience' sake; for "the earth is the LORD's, and all its fullness."

Conscience, I say, not your own, but that of the other. For why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience?

all ate the same spiritual food,

But if I partake with thanks, why am I evil spoken of for the food over which I give thanks?

Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God,

and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.

But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.

For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you.

Nevertheless, neither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord.

For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God.

Judge among yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

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

But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.

Now in giving these instructions I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse.

For first of all, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.

For there must also be factions among you, that those who are approved may be recognized among you.

Now I say this, that each of you says, "I am of Paul," or "I am of Apollos," or "I am of Cephas," or "I am of Christ."

Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you.

Therefore when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper.

For in eating, each one takes his own supper ahead of others; and one is hungry and another is drunk.

What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.

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

Therefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And the rest I will set in order when I come.

I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,

lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name.

Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other.

For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.

For man is not from woman, but woman from man.

Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant:

to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

For in fact the body is not one member but many.
