Mounce Reverse Interlinear New Testament
11 Be ginomai imitators mimētēs of me egō, as kathōs I also kagō am of Christ Christos.
2 I commend epaineō · de you hymeis because hoti you remember mimnēskomai me egō in everything pas and kai hold firmly to katechō the ho traditions paradosis just as kathōs I passed them on paradidōmi to you hymeis. 3 But de I want thelō you hymeis to understand oida that hoti the ho head kephalē of every pas man anēr is eimi · ho Christ Christos, and de the head kephalē of a wife gynē is her ho husband anēr, and de the head kephalē of ho Christ Christos is · ho God theos. 4 Any pas man anēr who prays proseuchomai or ē prophesies prophēteuō with echō his head kephalē covered kata disgraces kataischunō · ho his autos head kephalē, 5 but de any pas wife gynē who prays proseuchomai or ē prophesies prophēteuō with her ho head kephalē uncovered akatakalyptos disgraces kataischunō · ho her autos head kephalē, for gar it is eimi one heis and kai the ho same autos as a woman ho who has her head shaved xyraō. 6 For gar if ei a woman gynē will not ou cover katakalyptō her head, · kai she should cut her hair short keirō. But de if ei it is disgraceful aischros for a woman gynē · ho to have her hair cut short keirō or ē have her head shaved xyraō, she should cover her head katakalyptō. 7 For gar a man anēr should opheilō not ou have his ho head kephalē covered katakalyptō, since he is hyparchō the image eikōn and kai glory doxa of God theos, but de · ho woman gynē is eimi the glory doxa of man anēr. 8 For gar man anēr did not ou come eimi from ek woman gynē, but alla woman gynē from ek man anēr. 9 · kai Neither ou was man anēr created ktizō for dia · ho woman gynē, but alla woman gynē for dia · ho man anēr. 10 For dia this houtos reason a woman gynē ought opheilō · ho to have echō a sign of authority exousia on epi her ho head kephalē, because dia of the ho angels angelos. 11 Nevertheless plēn, in en the Lord kyrios woman gynē is not oute independent chōris of man anēr nor oute is man anēr independent chōris of woman gynē; 12 for gar just as hōsper the ho woman gynē came from ek · ho man anēr, so houtōs also kai the ho man anēr now comes through dia · ho woman gynē. · ho And de all pas things come from ek · ho God theos. 13 Judge krinō for en yourselves hymeis autos: is it eimi proper prepō for a wife gynē to pray proseuchomai to ho God theos with her head uncovered akatakalyptos? 14 Does not oude · ho nature physis itself autos teach didaskō you hymeis that hoti if ean a man anēr has long hair komaō, it is eimi a disgrace atimia for him autos, 15 but de if ean a woman gynē has long hair komaō, it is eimi her autos glory doxa? For hoti her ho long hair komē is given didōmi to her autos for anti a covering peribolaion. 16 If ei · de anyone tis is inclined dokeō to be eimi quarrelsome philoneikos, we hēmeis have echō no ou such toioutos practice synētheia, nor oude do the ho churches ekklēsia of ho God theos.
17 But de in giving parangellō the following houtos instructions parangellō I do not ou commend epaineō you, because hoti when you come together synerchomai it is not ou for eis the ho better kreittōn but alla for eis the ho worse hēssōn. 18 For gar in the first prōton place , I hear akouō that when you hymeis gather synerchomai as en a church ekklēsia there are hyparchō divisions schisma among en you hymeis, and kai in part meros I believe pisteuō it tis, 19 for gar there must dei be eimi · kai factions hairesis among en you hymeis so that hina · kai it may become ginomai clear phaneros who ho among en you hymeis are genuine dokimos. 20 Therefore oun when you hymeis gather synerchomai in epi the ho assembly autos, it is eimi not ou to eat esthiō a supper deipnon in honor of the Lord kyriakos. 21 For gar when en it comes time to eat esthiō, each hekastos one goes ahead with prolambanō · ho his idios own supper deipnon; and kai one hos remains hungry peinaō while de another hos becomes drunk methyō. 22 Can it be that you do echō not ou have echō houses oikia in eis which ho to eat esthiō and kai drink pinō? Or ē are you trying to show contempt for kataphroneō the ho church ekklēsia of ho God theos by kai humiliating kataischunō those ho who have echō nothing mē? What tis should I say legō to you hymeis? Should I commend epaineō you hymeis? For en this houtos I will not ou commend epaineō you.
23 For gar I egō received paralambanō from apo the ho Lord kyrios that which hos I also kai passed paradidōmi on to you hymeis: that hoti the ho Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous on en the ho night nyx when hos he was betrayed paradidōmi took lambanō bread artos, 24 and kai after giving thanks eucharisteō, he broke klaō it, and kai said legō, “ This houtos is eimi my egō · ho body sōma which ho is for hyper you hymeis. Do poieō this houtos in eis · ho remembrance of anamnēsis me emos.” 25 In the same way hōsautōs, he took the ho cup potērion also kai, after meta · ho supper deipneō, saying legō, “ This houtos · ho cup potērion is eimi the ho new kainos covenant diathēkē in en · ho my emos blood haima. Do poieō this houtos, as often as hosakis you drink pinō it, in eis · ho remembrance of anamnēsis me emos.” 26 For gar as often as hosakis you eat esthiō · ho this houtos bread artos and kai drink pinō this ho cup potērion, you proclaim katangellō the ho Lord’ s kyrios death thanatos · ho until achri hos he comes erchomai.
27 Whoever hos, therefore hōste, eats esthiō this ho bread artos or ē drinks pinō this ho cup potērion of the ho Lord kyrios in an unworthy manner anaxiōs will be eimi guilty enochos of the ho body sōma and kai · ho blood haima of the ho Lord kyrios. 28 A person anthrōpos should examine dokimazō · de himself heautou, then kai, and so houtōs eat esthiō of ek the ho bread artos and kai drink pinō of ek the ho cup potērion. 29 For gar the ho one who eats esthiō and kai drinks pinō without mē discerning diakrinō the ho body sōma eats esthiō and kai drinks pinō judgment krima on himself heautou. 30 That is why dia many polys of en you hymeis are weak asthenēs and kai sick arrōstos, and kai quite a few hikanos are dead koimaō. 31 But de if ei we had been examining diakrinō ourselves heautou, we would an not ou come under judgment krinō. 32 But de when we are judged krinō by hypo the ho Lord kyrios, we are being corrected by discipline paideuō, so that hina we will katakrinō not mē be condemned katakrinō along with syn the ho world kosmos.
33 So then hōste, my egō brothers adelphos, when you come together synerchomai to eis eat esthiō, wait for ekdechomai one another allēlōn. 34 If ei anyone tis is hungry peinaō, he should eat esthiō at en home oikos, so that hina when you come together synerchomai it does not mē lead to eis judgment krima. I will give directions diatassō about · ho · de other loipos matters when hōs I come erchomai.
1 Corinthians 11
Revised Standard Version
11 1 Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
Head Coverings
2 I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you. 3 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. 4 Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, 5 but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head—it is the same as if her head were shaven. 6 For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her wear a veil. 7 For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. 8 (For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. 9 Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.) 10 That is why a woman ought to have a veil[a] on her head, because of the angels. 11 (Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman; 12 for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God.) 13 Judge for yourselves; is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not nature itself teach you that for a man to wear long hair is degrading to him, 15 but if a woman has long hair, it is her pride? For her hair is given to her for a covering. 16 If any one is disposed to be contentious, we recognize no other practice, nor do the churches of God.
Abuses at the Lord’s Supper
17 But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse. 18 For, in the first place, when you assemble as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it, 19 for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized. 20 When you meet together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat. 21 For in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal, and one is hungry and another is drunk. 22 What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you in this? No, I will not.
The Institution of the Lord’s Supper
23 For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for[b] you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
Partaking of the Supper Unworthily
27 Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself. 30 That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.[c] 31 But if we judged ourselves truly, we should not be judged. 32 But when we are judged by the Lord, we are chastened[d] so that we may not be condemned along with the world.
33 So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another— 34 if any one is hungry, let him eat at home—lest you come together to be condemned. About the other things I will give directions when I come.
