Προς Κορινθιους Α΄ 11

1 μιμηται μου γινεσθε καθως καγω χριστου

Become followers of me, as I also [am] of Christ.

2 επαινω δε υμας οτι παντα μου μεμνησθε και καθως παρεδωκα υμιν τας παραδοσεις κατεχετε

And I praise you, brothers, that in all things you remember me, and according as I delivered to you, you keep the deliverances,

3 θελω δε υμας ειδεναι οτι παντος ανδρος η κεφαλη ο χριστος εστιν κεφαλη δε γυναικος ο ανηρ κεφαλη δε του χριστου ο θεος

and I wish you to know that the Christ is the head of every man, and the head of a woman is the husband, and the head of Christ is God.

4 πας ανηρ προσευχομενος η προφητευων κατα κεφαλης εχων καταισχυνει την κεφαλην αυτου

Every man praying or prophesying, having the head covered, dishonors his head,

5 πασα δε γυνη προσευχομενη η προφητευουσα ακατακαλυπτω τη κεφαλη καταισχυνει την κεφαλην αυτης εν γαρ εστιν και το αυτο τη εξυρημενη

and every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered, dishonors her own head, for it is one and the same thing with her being shaven,

6 ει γαρ ου κατακαλυπτεται γυνη και κειρασθω ει δε αισχρον γυναικι το κειρασθαι η ξυρασθαι κατακαλυπτεσθω

for if a woman is not covered—then let her be shorn, and if [it is] a shame 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 η γυνη δε δοξα ανδρος εστιν

for a man, indeed, ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God, and a woman is the glory of a man,

8 ου γαρ εστιν ανηρ εκ γυναικος αλλα γυνη εξ ανδρος

for a man is not of a woman, but a woman [is] of a man,

9 και γαρ ουκ εκτισθη ανηρ δια την γυναικα αλλα γυνη δια τον ανδρα

for also was a man not created because of the woman, but a woman because of the man;

10 δια τουτο οφειλει η γυνη εξουσιαν εχειν επι της κεφαλης δια τους αγγελους

because of this the woman ought to have [a token of] authority on the head, because of the messengers;

11 πλην ουτε γυνη χωρις ανδρος ουτε ανηρ χωρις γυναικος εν κυριω

but neither [is] a man apart from a woman, nor a woman apart from a man, in the LORD,

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] of the man, so also the man [is] through the woman, and all the things [are] of God.

13 εν υμιν αυτοις κρινατε πρεπον εστιν γυναικα ακατακαλυπτον τω θεω προσευχεσθαι

Judge in your own selves: is it seemly for a woman to pray to God uncovered?

14 ουδε η φυσις αυτη διδασκει υμας οτι ανηρ μεν εαν κομα ατιμια αυτω εστιν

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

15 γυνη δε εαν κομα δοξα αυτη εστιν οτι η κομη αντι περιβολαιου δεδοται {VAR1: αυτη } {VAR2: [αυτη] }

And a woman, if she has long hair, it is a glory to her, because the hair has been given to her instead of a covering;

16 ει δε τις δοκει φιλονεικος ειναι ημεις τοιαυτην συνηθειαν ουκ εχομεν ουδε αι εκκλησιαι του θεου

and if anyone thinks to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the assemblies of God.

17 τουτο δε παραγγελλων ουκ επαινω οτι ουκ εις το κρεισσον αλλα εις το ησσον συνερχεσθε

And declaring this, I give no praise, because you do not come together for the better, but for the worse;

18 πρωτον μεν γαρ συνερχομενων υμων εν εκκλησια ακουω σχισματα εν υμιν υπαρχειν και μερος τι πιστευω

for first, indeed, coming together in an assembly, I hear of divisions being among you, and I partly believe [it],

19 δει γαρ και αιρεσεις εν υμιν ειναι ινα [και] οι δοκιμοι φανεροι γενωνται εν υμιν

for it is also necessary for sects to be among you, that those approved may become visible among you;

20 συνερχομενων ουν υμων επι το αυτο ουκ εστιν κυριακον δειπνον φαγειν

you, then, coming together at the same place—it is not to eat the LORD’s Dinner;

21 εκαστος γαρ το ιδιον δειπνον προλαμβανει εν τω φαγειν και ος μεν πεινα ος δε μεθυει

for each takes his own dinner before in the eating, and one is hungry, and another is drunk;

22 μη γαρ οικιας ουκ εχετε εις το εσθιειν και πινειν η της εκκλησιας του θεου καταφρονειτε και καταισχυνετε τους μη εχοντας τι ειπω υμιν επαινεσω υμας εν τουτω ουκ επαινω

why, do you not have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise the Assembly of God, and shame those not having? What may I say to you? Will I praise you in this? I do not praise!

23 εγω γαρ παρελαβον απο του κυριου ο και παρεδωκα υμιν οτι ο κυριος ιησους εν τη νυκτι η παρεδιδετο ελαβεν αρτον

For I received from the LORD that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was delivered up, took bread,

24 και ευχαριστησας εκλασεν και ειπεν τουτο μου εστιν το σωμα το υπερ υμων τουτο ποιειτε εις την εμην αναμνησιν

and having given thanks, He broke, and said, “Take, eat, this is My body that is being broken for you; do this—to the 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 εαν πινητε εις την εμην αναμνησιν

In like manner also the cup after the supping, saying, “This cup is the New Covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you may drink [it]—to the remembrance of Me”;

26 οσακις γαρ εαν εσθιητε τον αρτον τουτον και το ποτηριον πινητε τον θανατον του κυριου καταγγελλετε αχρις ου ελθη

for as often as you may eat this bread, and may drink this cup, you show forth the death of the LORD—until He may come;

27 ωστε ος αν εσθιη τον αρτον η πινη το ποτηριον του κυριου αναξιως ενοχος εσται του σωματος και του αιματος του κυριου

so that whoever may eat this bread or may drink the cup of the LORD unworthily, he will be guilty of the body and blood of the LORD:

28 δοκιμαζετω δε ανθρωπος εαυτον και ουτως εκ του αρτου εσθιετω και εκ του ποτηριου πινετω

and let a man be proving himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and let him drink of the cup;

29 ο γαρ εσθιων και πινων κριμα εαυτω εσθιει και πινει μη διακρινων το σωμα

for he who is eating and drinking unworthily, he eats and drinks judgment to himself—not discerning the body of the LORD.

30 δια τουτο εν υμιν πολλοι ασθενεις και αρρωστοι και κοιμωνται ικανοι

Because of this many [are] weak and sickly among you, and many sleep;

31 ει δε εαυτους διεκρινομεν ουκ αν εκρινομεθα

for if we were discerning ourselves, we would not be being judged,

32 κρινομενοι δε υπο {VAR1: του } {VAR2: [του] } κυριου παιδευομεθα ινα μη συν τω κοσμω κατακριθωμεν

and being judged by the LORD, we are disciplined, that we may not be condemned with the world;

33 ωστε αδελφοι μου συνερχομενοι εις το φαγειν αλληλους εκδεχεσθε

so then, my brothers, coming together to eat, wait for one another;

34 ει τις πεινα εν οικω εσθιετω ινα μη εις κριμα συνερχησθε τα δε λοιπα ως αν ελθω διαταξομαι

and if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, that you may not come together to judgment; and the rest, whenever I may come, I will arrange.
