< 1 Corinthians 11 >

1 Become my imitators, just as I am Christ's.
μιμηται μου γινεσθε καθως καγω χριστου
2 Now I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things and hold the traditions just as I delivered them to you.
επαινω δε υμας αδελφοι οτι παντα μου μεμνησθε και καθως παρεδωκα υμιν τας παραδοσεις κατεχετε
3 But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, while a wife's head is the man and Christ's head is God.
θελω δε υμας ειδεναι οτι παντος ανδρος η κεφαλη ο χριστος εστιν κεφαλη δε γυναικος ο ανηρ κεφαλη δε χριστου ο θεος
4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.
πας ανηρ προσευχομενος η προφητευων κατα κεφαλης εχων καταισχυνει την κεφαλην αυτου
5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her own head—it is one and the same as if it had been shaved.
πασα δε γυνη προσευχομενη η προφητευουσα ακατακαλυπτω τη κεφαλη καταισχυνει την κεφαλην εαυτης εν γαρ εστιν και το αυτο τη εξυρημενη
6 So if a woman does not cover herself, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.
ει γαρ ου κατακαλυπτεται γυνη και κειρασθω ει δε αισχρον γυναικι το κειρασθαι η ξυρασθαι κατακαλυπτεσθω
7 Indeed, a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.
ανηρ μεν γαρ ουκ οφειλει κατακαλυπτεσθαι την κεφαλην εικων και δοξα θεου υπαρχων γυνη δε δοξα ανδρος εστιν
8 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man;
ου γαρ εστιν ανηρ εκ γυναικος αλλα γυνη εξ ανδρος
9 and neither was man created for the woman, but woman for the man
και γαρ ουκ εκτισθη ανηρ δια την γυναικα αλλα γυνη δια τον ανδρα
10 —for this reason the woman needs to have authority upon her head, because of the angels—
δια τουτο οφειλει η γυνη εξουσιαν εχειν επι της κεφαλης δια τους αγγελους
11 nevertheless, in the Lord neither is man independent of woman nor woman independent of man.
πλην ουτε ανηρ χωρις γυναικος ουτε γυνη χωρις ανδρος εν κυριω
12 Because as the woman came from the man, so also the man comes through the woman; but all things are from God.
ωσπερ γαρ η γυνη εκ του ανδρος ουτως και ο ανηρ δια της γυναικος τα δε παντα εκ του θεου
13 Judge among yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God uncovered?
εν υμιν αυτοις κρινατε πρεπον εστιν γυναικα ακατακαλυπτον τω θεω προσευχεσθαι
14 Does not nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
η ουδε αυτη η φυσις διδασκει υμας οτι ανηρ μεν εαν κομα ατιμια αυτω εστιν
15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, because that hair has been given for a covering.
γυνη δε εαν κομα δοξα αυτη εστιν οτι η κομη αντι περιβολαιου δεδοται αυτη
16 But if anyone decides to be contentious, neither we nor the congregations of God have any other practice.
ει δε τις δοκει φιλονεικος ειναι ημεις τοιαυτην συνηθειαν ουκ εχομεν ουδε αι εκκλησιαι του θεου
17 Now in giving the following instruction I do not praise you, since you are not coming together for the better but for the worse.
τουτο δε παραγγελλων ουκ επαινω οτι ουκ εις το κρειττον αλλ εις το ηττον συνερχεσθε
18 Because, to begin, I hear that when you come together in an assembly there are divisions among you, and I partly believe it.
πρωτον μεν γαρ συνερχομενων υμων εν εκκλησια ακουω σχισματα εν υμιν υπαρχειν και μερος τι πιστευω
19 For there would really need to be factions among you so that the ‘approved’ ones may be recognized among you.
δει γαρ και αιρεσεις εν υμιν ειναι ινα οι δοκιμοι φανεροι γενωνται εν υμιν
20 So when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper.
συνερχομενων ουν υμων επι το αυτο ουκ εστιν κυριακον δειπνον φαγειν
21 Because in eating, each one tries to get his meal first, and one goes hungry while another gets drunk!
εκαστος γαρ το ιδιον δειπνον προλαμβανει εν τω φαγειν και ος μεν πεινα ος δε μεθυει
22 Now really, do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise God's congregation, and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? Indeed not!
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
23 For I received from the Lord that which I also transmitted to you: The Lord Jesus, during the night in which He was betrayed, took bread;
εγω γαρ παρελαβον απο του κυριου ο και παρεδωκα υμιν οτι ο κυριος ιησους εν τη νυκτι η παρεδιδοτο ελαβεν αρτον
24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said: “Take, eat; this is my body that is being broken on your behalf; do this in remembrance of me.”
και ευχαριστησας εκλασεν και ειπεν λαβετε φαγετε τουτο μου εστιν το σωμα το υπερ υμων κλωμενον τουτο ποιειτε εις την εμην αναμνησιν
25 In the same way, after they had dined, He took the cup, saying: “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
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
26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death, until He comes.
οσακις γαρ αν εσθιητε τον αρτον τουτον και το ποτηριον τουτο πινητε τον θανατον του κυριου καταγγελλετε αχρι ου αν ελθη
27 So then whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord's cup unworthily will be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.
ωστε ος αν εσθιη τον αρτον τουτον η πινη το ποτηριον του κυριου αναξιως ενοχος εσται του σωματος και αιματος του κυριου
28 But let a man examine himself, and then let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
δοκιμαζετω δε ανθρωπος εαυτον και ουτως εκ του αρτου εσθιετω και εκ του ποτηριου πινετω
29 Because he who eats and drinks unworthily eats and drinks judgment to himself, not distinguishing the Lord's body.
ο γαρ εσθιων και πινων αναξιως κριμα εαυτω εσθιει και πινει μη διακρινων το σωμα του κυριου
30 Because of this many among you are weak and sick, and a good many have died.
δια τουτο εν υμιν πολλοι ασθενεις και αρρωστοι και κοιμωνται ικανοι
31 If we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.
ει γαρ εαυτους διεκρινομεν ουκ αν εκρινομεθα
32 But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, so that we may not be condemned with the world.
κρινομενοι δε υπο [ του ] κυριου παιδευομεθα ινα μη συν τω κοσμω κατακριθωμεν
33 So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
ωστε αδελφοι μου συνερχομενοι εις το φαγειν αλληλους εκδεχεσθε
34 But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together into judgment. And the rest I will set in order when I come.
ει δε τις πεινα εν οικω εσθιετω ινα μη εις κριμα συνερχησθε τα δε λοιπα ως αν ελθω διαταξομαι
