King James Version KJV
New International Version NIV
15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
15
but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering.
16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
16
If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.
17 Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.
17
In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good.
18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
18
In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it.
19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
19
No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God’s approval.
20 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.
20
So then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat,
21 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
21
for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers. As a result, one person remains hungry and another gets drunk.
22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
22
Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God by humiliating those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? Certainly not in this matter!
23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
23
For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,
24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said,Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
24
and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying,This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
25
In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
