1 Corinthians 11
Overview
11:1 He reproves them, because in holy assemblies,
11:4 their men prayed with their heads covered,
11:6 and women with their heads uncovered;
11:17 and because generally their meetings were not for the better, but for the worse;
11:21 as, namely, in profaning with their own feast the Lord's supper;
11:25 Lastly, he calls them to the first institution thereof.
