1 Corinthians 11

1Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.

μιμηται μου γινεσθε, καθως καγω χριστου.

2Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you.

επαινω δε υμας, αδελφοι, οτι παντα μου μεμνησθε και καθως παρεδωκα υμιν τας παραδοσεις κατεχετε.

3But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

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

4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.

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

5But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved.

πασα δε γυνη προσευχομενη η προφητευουσα ακατακαλυπτω τη κεφαλη καταισχυνει την κεφαλην εαυτης· εν γαρ εστιν και το αυτο τη εξυρημενη.

6For if a woman is not covered, 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.

7For a man indeed 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.

8For man is not from woman, but woman from man.

ου γαρ εστιν ανηρ εκ γυναικος, αλλα γυνη εξ ανδρος·

9Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.

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

10For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

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

11Nevertheless, neither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord.

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

12For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through 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.

13Judge among yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

εν υμιν αυτοις κρινατε· πρεπον εστιν γυναικα ακατακαλυπτον τω θεω προσευχεσθαι;

14Does not even 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,

15But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering.

γυνη δε εαν κομα, δοξα αυτη εστιν; οτι η κομη αντι περιβολαιου δεδοται αυτη.

16But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.

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

17Now in giving these instructions I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse.

τουτο δε παραγγελλων ουκ επαινω οτι ουκ εις το κρειττον, αλλ εις το ηττον συνερχεσθε.

18For first of all, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.

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

19For there must also be factions among you, that those who are approved may be recognized among you.

δει γαρ και αιρεσεις εν υμιν ειναι, ινα οι δοκιμοι φανεροι γενωνται εν υμιν.

20Therefore 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·

21For in eating, each one takes his own supper ahead of others; and one is hungry and another is drunk.

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

22What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.

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.

23For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same 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

24and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, 'Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; 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.

25In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as 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.

26For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes.

οσακις γαρ αν εσθιητε τον αρτον τουτον και το ποτηριον τουτο πινητε, τον θανατον του κυριου καταγγελλετε, αχρι ου αν ελθη.

27Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and 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.

28But let a man examine himself, and so 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·

29For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

ο γαρ εσθιων και πινων αναξιως κριμα εαυτω εσθιει και πινει, μη διακρινων το σωμα του κυριου.

30For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.

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

31For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.

ει γαρ εαυτους διεκρινομεν, ουκ αν εκρινομεθα·

32But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

κρινομενοι δε υπο [του] κυριου παιδευομεθα, ινα μη συν τω κοσμω κατακριθωμεν.

33Therefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

ωστε, αδελφοι μου, συνερχομενοι εις το φαγειν αλληλους εκδεχεσθε·

34But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for 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.
