Prima lettera ai Corinzi - 1 Corinthians 11

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Μιμηται μου γινεσθε, καθως και εγω του Χριστου.	1 Be imitators of me, as I also am of Christ.
2 Σας επαινω δε, αδελφοι, οτι εις παντα με ενθυμεισθε, και κρατειτε τας παραδοσεις, καθως παρεδωκα εις εσας.	2 Now I praise you, brothers, because you are mindful of me in everything, in such a way as to hold to my precepts as I have handed them down to you.
3 Θελω δε να εξευρητε, οτι η κεφαλη παντος ανδρος ειναι ο Χριστος, κεφαλη δε της γυναικος ο ανηρ, κεφαλη δε του Χριστου ο Θεος.	3 So I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ. But the head of woman is man. Yet truly, the head of Christ is God.
4 Πας ανηρ προσευχομενος η προφητευων, εαν εχη κεκαλυμμενην την κεφαλην, καταισχυνει την κεφαλην αυτου.	4 Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered disgraces his head.
5 Πασα δε γυνη προσευχομενη η προφητευουσα με την κεφαλην ασκεπη καταισχυνει την κεφαλην εαυτης? διοτι εν και το αυτο ειναι με την εξυρισμενην.	5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered disgraces her head. For it is the same as if her head were shaven.
6 Επειδη αν δεν καλυπτηται η γυνη, ας κουρευση και τα μαλλια αυτης? αλλ' εαν ηναι αισχρον εις γυναικα να κουρευη τα μαλλια αυτης η να ξυριζηται, ας καλυπτηται.	6 So if a woman is not veiled, let her hair be cut off. Truly then, if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off, or to have her head shaven, then she should cover her head.
7 Διοτι ο μεν ανηρ δεν χρεωστει να καλυπτη την κεφαλην αυτου, επειδη ειναι εικων και δοξα του Θεου? η δε γυνη ειναι δοξα του ανδρος.	7 Certainly, a man ought not to cover his head, for he is the image and glory of God. But woman is the glory of man.
8 Διοτι ο ανηρ δεν ειναι εκ της γυναικος, αλλ' η γυνη εκ του ανδρος?	8 For man is not of woman, but woman is of man.
9 επειδη δεν εκτισθη ο ανηρ δια την γυναικα, αλλ' η γυνη δια τον ανδρα.	9 And indeed, man was not created for woman, but woman was created for man.
10 Δια τουτο η γυνη χρεωστει να εχη εξουσιαν επι της κεφαλης αυτης δια τους αγγελους.	10 Therefore, a woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the Angels.
11 Πλην ουτε ο ανηρ χωρις της γυναικος ουτε η γυνη χωρις του ανδρος υπαρχει εν Κυριω.	11 Yet truly, man would not exist without woman, nor would woman exist without man, in the Lord.
12 Διοτι καθως η γυνη ειναι εκ του ανδρος, ουτω και ο ανηρ ειναι δια της γυναικος, τα παντα δε εκ του Θεου.	12 For just as woman came into existence from man, so also does man exist through woman. But all things are from God.
13 Κρινατε σεις καθ' εαυτους? ειναι πρεπον γυνη να προσευχηται εις τον Θεον ασκεπης;	13 Judge for yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God unveiled?
14 Η ουδε αυτη η φυσις δεν σας διδασκει, οτι ανηρ μεν εαν εχη κομην ειναι εις αυτον ατιμια,	14 Does not even nature herself teach you that, indeed, if a man grows his hair long, it is a disgrace for him?
15 γυνη δε εαν εχη κομην, ειναι δοξα εις αυτην; διοτι η κομη εδοθη εις αυτην αντι καλυμματος.	15 Yet truly, if a woman grows her hair long, it is a glory for her, because her hair has been given to her as a covering.
16 Εαν τις ομως φαινηται οτι ειναι φιλονεικος, ημεις τοιαυτην συνηθειαν δεν εχομεν, ουδε αι εκκλησιαι του Θεου.	16 But if anyone has a mind to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor does the Church of God.
17 Ενω δε παραγγελλω τουτο, δεν επαινω οτι συνερχεσθε ουχι δια το καλητερον αλλα δια το χειροτερον.	17 Now I caution you, without praising, about this: that you assemble together, and not for better, but for worse.
18 Διοτι πρωτον μεν οταν συνερχησθε εις την εκκλησιαν, ακουω οτι υπαρχουσι σχισματα μεταξυ σας, και μερος τι πιστευω?	18 First of all, indeed, I hear that when you assemble together in the church, there are schisms among you. And I believe this, in part.
19 διοτι ειναι αναγκη να υπαρχωσι και αιρεσεις μεταξυ σας, δια να γεινωσι φανεροι μεταξυ σας οι δοκιμοι.	19 For there must also be heresies, so that those who have been tested may be made manifest among you.
20 Οταν λοιπον συνερχησθε επι το αυτο, τουτο δεν ειναι να φαγητε Κυριακον δειπνον?	20 And so, when you assemble together as one, it is no longer in order to eat the Lord’s supper.
21 διοτι εκαστος λαμβανει προ του αλλου το ιδιον εαυτου δειπνον εν τω καιρω του τρωγειν, και αλλος μεν πεινα, αλλος δε μεθυει.	21 For each one first takes his own supper to eat. And as a result, one person is hungry, while another is inebriated.
22 Μη δεν εχετε οικιας δια να τρωγητε και να πινητε; η την εκκλησιαν του Θεου καταφρονειτε, και καταισχυνετε τους μη εχοντας; τι να σας ειπω; να σας επαινεσω εις τουτο; δεν σας επαινω.	22 Do you not have houses, in which to eat and drink? Or do you have such contempt for the Church of God that you would confound those who do not have such contempt? What should I say to you? Should I praise you? I am not praising you in this.
23 Διοτι εγω παρελαβον απο του Κυριου εκεινο, το οποιον και παρεδωκα εις εσας, οτι ο Κυριος Ιησους εν τη νυκτι καθ' ην παρεδιδετο ελαβεν αρτον,	23 For I have received from the Lord what I have also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus, on the same night that he was handed over, took bread,
24 και ευχαριστησας εκοψε και ειπε? Λαβετε, φαγετε? τουτο ειναι το σωμα μου το υπερ υμων κλωμενον? τουτο καμνετε εις την αναμνησιν μου.	24 and giving thanks, he broke it, and said: “Take and eat. This is my body, which shall be given up for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
25 Ομοιως και το ποτηριον, αφου εδειπνησε, λεγων? Τουτο το ποτηριον ειναι η καινη διαθηκη εν τω αιματι μου? τουτο καμνετε, οσακις πινητε, εις την αναμνησιν μου.	25 Similarly also, the cup, after he had eaten supper, saying: “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
26 Διοτι οσακις αν τρωγητε τον αρτον τουτον και πινητε το ποτηριον τουτο, τον θανατον του Κυριου καταγγελλετε, μεχρι της ελευσεως αυτου.	26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord, until he returns.
27 Ωστε οστις τρωγη τον αρτον τουτον η πινη το ποτηριον του Κυριου αναξιως, ενοχος θελει εισθαι του σωματος και αιματος του Κυριου.	27 And so, whoever eats this bread, or drinks from the cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be liable of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 Ας δοκιμαζη δε εαυτον ο ανθρωπος, και ουτως ας τρωγη εκ του αρτου και ας πινη εκ του ποτηριου?	28 But let a man examine himself, and, in this way, let him eat from that bread, and drink from that cup.
29 διοτι ο τρωγων και πινων αναξιως τρωγει και πινει κατακρισιν εις εαυτον, μη διακρινων το σωμα του Κυριου.	29 For whoever eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks a sentence against himself, not discerning it to be the body of the Lord.
30 Δια τουτο υπαρχουσι μεταξυ σας πολλοι ασθενεις και αρρωστοι, και αποθνησκουσιν ικανοι.	30 As a result, many are weak and sick among you, and many have fallen asleep.
31 Διοτι εαν διεκρινομεν εαυτους, δεν ηθελομεν κρινεσθαι?	31 But if we ourselves were discerning, then certainly we would not be judged.
32 αλλ' οταν κρινωμεθα, παιδευομεθα υπο του Κυριου, δια να μη κατακριθωμεν μετα του κοσμου.	32 Yet when we are judged, we are being corrected by the Lord, so that we might not be condemned along with this world.
33 Ωστε αδελφοι μου, οταν συνερχησθε δια να φαγητε, περιμενετε αλληλους?	33 And so, my brothers, when you assemble together to eat, be attentive to one another.
34 εαν δε τις πεινα, ας τρωγη εν τη οικια αυτου, δια να μη συνερχησθε προς κατακρισιν. Τα δε λοιπα, οταν ελθω, θελω διαταξει.	34 If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you may not assemble together unto judgment. As for the rest, I will set it in order when I arrive.
