Προς Κορινθιους Α΄ 11
1 μιμηται μου γινεσθε καθως καγω χριστου
Be ye imitators of me, as I also am of Christ.
2 επαινω δε υμας αδελφοι οτι παντα μου μεμνησθε και καθως παρεδωκα υμιν τας παραδοσεις κατεχετε
But I praise you because you remember me in all things, and hold fast the commandments, as I delivered them unto you.
3 θελω δε υμας ειδεναι οτι παντος ανδρος η κεφαλη ο χριστος εστιν κεφαλη δε γυναικος ο ανηρ κεφαλη δε χριστου ο θεος
But I wish you to know, that Christ is the head of every man; and the man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of Christ.
4 πας ανηρ προσευχομενος η προφητευων κατα κεφαλης εχων καταισχυνει την κεφαλην αυτου
Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.
5 πασα δε γυνη προσευχομενη η προφητευουσα ακατακαλυπτω τη κεφαλη καταισχυνει την κεφαλην εαυτης εν γαρ εστιν και το αυτο τη εξυρημενη
But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonors her head: for that is one and the same to her being shaven.
6 ει γαρ ου κατακαλυπτεται γυνη και κειρασθω ει δε αισχρον γυναικι το κειρασθαι η ξυρασθαι κατακαλυπτεσθω
If a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it is a disgrace for a woman to be shorn or shaven; let her be covered.
7 ανηρ μεν γαρ ουκ οφειλει κατακαλυπτεσθαι την κεφαλην εικων και δοξα θεου υπαρχων γυνη δε δοξα ανδρος εστιν
For a man ought not to cover his head, being the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man.
8 ου γαρ εστιν ανηρ εκ γυναικος αλλα γυνη εξ ανδρος
For the man is not from the woman; but the woman is from the man;
9 και γαρ ουκ εκτισθη ανηρ δια την γυναικα αλλα γυνη δια τον ανδρα
for man indeed was not created on account of the woman; but the woman on account of the man.
10 δια τουτο οφειλει η γυνη εξουσιαν εχειν επι της κεφαλης δια τους αγγελους
Therefore the woman ought to have authority on her head, on account of the angels.
11 πλην ουτε ανηρ χωρις γυναικος ουτε γυνη χωρις ανδρος εν κυριω
Moreover neither is the woman without the man in the Lord, nor the man without the woman.
12 ωσπερ γαρ η γυνη εκ του ανδρος ουτως και ο ανηρ δια της γυναικος τα δε παντα εκ του θεου
For as the woman is from the man, so the man also is by the woman; and all things from God.
13 εν υμιν αυτοις κρινατε πρεπον εστιν γυναικα ακατακαλυπτον τω θεω προσευχεσθαι
Judge ye among yourselves: is it becoming for a woman to pray to God uncovered?
14 η ουδε αυτη η φυσις διδασκει υμας οτι ανηρ μεν εαν κομα ατιμια αυτω εστιν
Does not nature itself teach you, that, if a man may indeed have long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
15 γυνη δε εαν κομα δοξα αυτη εστιν οτι η κομη αντι περιβολαιου δεδοται αυτη
But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory unto her: because the hair has been given to her for a covering.
16 ει δε τις δοκει φιλονεικος ειναι ημεις τοιαυτην συνηθειαν ουκ εχομεν ουδε αι εκκλησιαι του θεου
If any one seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.
17 τουτο δε παραγγελλων ουκ επαινω οτι ουκ εις το κρειττον αλλ εις το ηττον συνερχεσθε
And proclaiming this, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.
18 πρωτον μεν γαρ συνερχομενων υμων εν τη εκκλησια ακουω σχισματα εν υμιν υπαρχειν και μερος τι πιστευω
For in the first place, indeed you coming together, I hear that there are schisms among you; and I in part believe it.
19 δει γαρ και αιρεσεις εν υμιν ειναι ινα οι δοκιμοι φανεροι γενωνται εν υμιν
For it behooves that heresies should indeed be among you, in order that the approved may be made manifest among you.
20 συνερχομενων ουν υμων επι το αυτο ουκ εστιν κυριακον δειπνον φαγειν
Therefore you coming together, it is not to eat the Lord's supper:
21 εκαστος γαρ το ιδιον δειπνον προλαμβανει εν τω φαγειν και ος μεν πεινα ος δε μεθυει
for each one takes his own supper in eating; and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
22 μη γαρ οικιας ουκ εχετε εις το εσθιειν και πινειν η της εκκλησιας του θεου καταφρονειτε και καταισχυνετε τους μη εχοντας τι υμιν ειπω επαινεσω υμας εν τουτω ουκ επαινω
For have you not houses in which to eat and to drink? or do you cast contempt on the church of God, and shame those not having? What do I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.
23 εγω γαρ παρελαβον απο του κυριου ο και παρεδωκα υμιν οτι ο κυριος ιησους εν τη νυκτι η παρεδιδοτο ελαβεν αρτον
For I received this from the Lord, which I have also delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the night in which he was betrayed, took bread,
24 και ευχαριστησας εκλασεν και ειπεν λαβετε φαγετε τουτο μου εστιν το σωμα το υπερ υμων κλωμενον τουτο ποιειτε εις την εμην αναμνησιν
and having given thanks, broke it, and said; This is my body, which is for you: do this in remembrance of me.
25 ωσαυτως και το ποτηριον μετα το δειπνησαι λεγων τουτο το ποτηριον η καινη διαθηκη εστιν εν τω εμω αιματι τουτο ποιειτε οσακις αν πινητε εις την εμην αναμνησιν
Likewise also the cup, after supper, saying; This cup is the new covenant in my blood: do this, as often as you may drink it, in remembrance of me.
26 οσακις γαρ αν εσθιητε τον αρτον τουτον και το ποτηριον τουτο πινητε τον θανατον του κυριου καταγγελλετε αχρις ου αν ελθη
For as often as you may eat this bread, and drink the cup, you do proclaim the death of the Lord, until he may come.
27 ωστε ος αν εσθιη τον αρτον τουτον η πινη το ποτηριον του κυριου αναξιως ενοχος εσται του σωματος και αιματος του κυριου
So whosoever may eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
28 δοκιμαζετω δε ανθρωπος εαυτον και ουτως εκ του αρτου εσθιετω και εκ του ποτηριου πινετω
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup;
29 ο γαρ εσθιων και πινων αναξιως κριμα εαυτω εσθιει και πινει μη διακρινων το σωμα του κυριου
for the one eating and drinking, net discerning the body, eats and drinks condemnation to himself.
30 δια τουτο εν υμιν πολλοι ασθενεις και αρρωστοι και κοιμωνται ικανοι
Therefore many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.
31 ει γαρ εαυτους διεκρινομεν ουκ αν εκρινομεθα
But if we judged ourselves, we would not be judged:
32 κρινομενοι δε υπο κυριου παιδευομεθα ινα μη συν τω κοσμω κατακριθωμεν
But being judged, by the Lord we are chastised, in order that we may not be condemned along with the world.
33 ωστε αδελφοι μου συνερχομενοι εις το φαγειν αλληλους εκδεχεσθε
So, my brethren, coming together to eat, wait for one another.
34 ει δε τις πεινα εν οικω εσθιετω ινα μη εις κριμα συνερχησθε τα δε λοιπα ως αν ελθω διαταξομαι
If one is hungry let him eat at home; in order that you may not come together unto condemnation. But I will set in order the remaining things when I may come.
