1 Corinthians 11:1. So, be imitators of me... be as I am of Christ. Since you have not seen Christ so that He would be an example for you, then imitate us, just as we strive to imitate Christ. He exalted them even to the point of pride, saying: 1 Corinthians 11:2. I praise you, brothers, that you always remember me - and just as I betrayed commandment 28, so... keep it. 1 Corinthians 11:3. The head, he says, is the husband and Christ is, the head... of the wife is her husband, and... the head... Christ is His God. With these two examples I wanted to show that just as that body, which is called Christ, since it is of the same nature as man, is the head of the husband, and just as the husband, who has the same nature with his wife, is the head of the wife, so the head of the Son is not any other nature different from Him, for God has the same nature and is His head. 1 Corinthians 11:4. So, every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered 29 shames... his head... his own. 1 Corinthians 11:5. But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered disgraces... her head... hers. He talks about the women of Rome, Corinth and other cities, in which they, entering the church to pray and sometimes to prophesy, prophesied with their heads open, which, however, they did not out of any shamelessness, but following an ancient custom. With the words spoken by the apostle about the head of husband and wife, he wanted to introduce the custom of wearing veils on the heads of women, who from these times walked without it with their heads uncovered. 1 Corinthians 11:9. “A husband is not... created,” he says, “for a wife, but just as everything was created for Adam, so Eve was created for Adam. 1 Corinthians 11:10. Therefore... the wife should... have the honor on her head... for the sake of the Angels, that is, priests, for although in some places he forces her to obey, everywhere, however, for the sake of the priesthood there is obedience to him. After he had belittled and humiliated his wife, he again exalted her and praised her, saying: 1 Corinthians 11:12. as the wife is from the husband, so is the husband through the wife. Here, he says, for her part, through the sorrow of (child)birth, she repays her husband what she should (repay) him for the time in which she was taken from him during sleep, and without the pain of birth. from the Greeks, any lover of “disputes” will object to this, saying: “This is an ancient custom, and therefore should not be abandoned,” then (we will answer) that neither we, living in the countries of Syria, We don’t have such a custom... neither the Church of God, which are based in other countries. 1 Corinthians 11:17. Because it's not for the better but, having descended through this, they bowed to the worse; for for this reason you have descended (and therefore fallen) to such deceit. 1 Corinthians 11:18–19. Also, when you get together to church,.. I hear that divisions... happen... between you and strife occur, so that [so that] the skilled and the patient became known They gathered to (celebrate) Easter on the fifth day (of the week), in the evening, when our Lord distributed His Body (under the guise of bread and wine) at the supper; and so, after they had eaten and drunk, they then broke the Body and accepted it. Since some of them fasted and patiently waited for their comrades, and others, who did not come first, having eaten and drunk, hurried to take the Body and leave, those who came later, who had not yet eaten, were depressed as a result of this with shame and great sorrow. This is what the apostle accuses and reproaches them of, saying: “When you come together in one place on the day of our Lord, each of you anticipates 30 his supper 31 to eat, some of you are hungry, and others are drunk” (1 Cor. 11:20-21). 1 Corinthians 11:22. Why do you despise the Church of God? who, because of their need and poverty, did not prepare? 1 Corinthians 11:23. I betrayed... you received... I... from my Lord, then... I delivered... to you. After all, although after supper 32 He broke and gave them (the apostles) His Body and Blood, yet the Body was not distributed to the hungry and drunk, as is now done among you (1 Cor. 11:24-25). 1 Corinthians 11:26. But whenever you eat 33 this bread and... drink this cup, you will remember the death of our Lord. But the death of our Lord is truly indecent to remember in such confusion and disorder, and we should not, if He (His Body and Blood) was given to us by grace, eat Him with negligence and disdain. And just as the one who does not partake and does not participate in this Sacrament has no life, so does everyone 1 Corinthians 11:27. whoever eats... this... bread and drinks the cup... unworthily will be guilty in a crime against This extends to all nations and centuries. 1 Corinthians 11:29. For he who eats poison and drinks unworthily, judges 34 himself... eats and drinks. 1 Corinthians 11:30. Therefore among you... many are weak and sick, - those who were struck in their bodies (wounded by their flesh), for they boldly approached the Body of Christ, and many died because they began the medicine of life without fear and trembling. 1 Corinthians 11:31. But if we reasoned 35 ourselves x and (then) would approach Him, then, without a doubt, 1 Corinthians 11:32. If we are subject to judgment at 36, then from the Lord We receive instruction through this, so that together with this world... will not be condemned 1 Corinthians 11:33. So, brothers, when you come together, wait for each other. 1 Corinthians 11:34. Uh...who's hungry? and does not have the patience to wait for his comrades, he at home... let him eat, so that you do not gather for condemnation.
