G1161–δέ–de

Now I commend you for remembering me in everything, and because you hold fast truths and practices precisely as I have taught them to you.

δὲ de “now”

I would have you know, however, that of every man, Christ is the Head, that of a woman her husband is the Head, and that God is Christ's Head.

δὲ de “however”δὲ de “now”δὲ de “now”

but a woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her Head, for it is exactly the same as if she had her hair cut short.

δὲ de “now”

If a woman will not wear a veil, let her also cut off her hair. But since it is a dishonor to a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her wear a veil.

δὲ de “now”

For a man ought not to have a veil on his head, since he is the image and glory of God; while woman is the glory of man.

δὲ de “however”

For just as woman originates from man, so also man comes into existence through woman, but everything springs originally from God.

δὲ de “however”

but that if a woman has long hair it is her glory, because her hair was given her for a covering?

δὲ de “however”

But if any one is inclined to be contentious on the point, we have no such custom, nor have the Churches of God.

δέ de “now”

But while giving you these instructions, there is one thing I cannot praise--your meeting together, with bad rather than good results.

δὲ de “now”

for it is his own supper of which each of you is in a hurry to partake, and one eats like a hungry man, while another has already drunk to excess.

δὲ de “however”

But let a man examine himself, and, having done that, then let him eat the bread and drink from the cup.

δὲ de “however”

If, however, we estimated ourselves aright, we should not be judged.

δὲ de “for”

But when we are judged by the Lord, chastisement follows, to save us from being condemned along with the world.

δὲ de “however”

If any one is hungry, let him eat at home; so that your coming together may not lead to judgement. The other matters I will deal with whenever I come.

δέ de “now”δὲ de “And”

It is important, brethren, that you should have clear knowledge on the subject of spiritual gifts.

δὲ de “now”

Now there are various kinds of gifts, but there is one and the same Spirit;

δὲ de “now”δὲ de “but”

diversities in work, and yet one and the same God--He who in each person brings about the whole result.

δὲ de “but”

But to each of us a manifestation of the Spirit has been granted for the common good.

δὲ de “now”

To one the utterance of wisdom has been granted through the Spirit; to another the utterance of knowledge in accordance with the will of the same Spirit;

δὲ de “however”

to a third man, by means of the same Spirit, special faith; to another various gifts of healing, by means of the one Spirit;

δὲ de “now”δὲ de “now”

to another the exercise of miraculous powers; to another the gift of prophecy; to another the power of discriminating between prophetic utterances; to another varieties of the gift of `tongues;' to another the interpretation of tongues.

δὲ de “now”δὲ de “now”δὲ de “now”δὲ de “now”δὲ de “now”

But these results are all brought about by one and the same Spirit, who bestows His gifts upon each of us in accordance with His own will.

δὲ de “now”

For just as the human body is one and yet has many parts, and all its parts, many as they are, constitute but one body, so it is with the Church of Christ.

δὲ de “now”

But, as a matter of fact, God has arranged the parts in the body--every one of them--as He has seen fit.

δὲ de “however”

If they were all one part, where would the body be?
