1. Corinthians
1Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.2Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.3But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.5But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.6For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.7For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.8For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.9Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.10For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.11Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.12For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.13Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?14Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?15But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.16But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.17Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.18For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.19For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.20When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.21For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.22What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.23For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:24And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.25After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.26For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.27Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.28But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.29For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.30For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.31For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.32But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.33Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.34And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

1كُونُوا مُتَمَثِّلِينَ بِي كَمَا أَنَا أَيْضاً بِالمَسِيحِ.2فَأَمْدَحُكُمْ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، عَلَى أَنَّكُمْ تَذْكُرُونَنِي فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَتَحْفَظُونَ التَّعَالِيمَ كَمَا سَلَّمْتُهَا إِلَيْكُمْ.

الرجل والمرأة في العبادة

3وَلَكِنْ أُرِيدُ أَنْ تَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ رَأْسَ كُلِّ رَجُلٍ هُوَ المَسِيحُ، وَأَمَّا رَأْسُ المَرْأَةِ فَهُوَ الرَّجُلُ، وَرَأْسُ المَسِيحِ هُوَ اللهُ.4كُلُّ رَجُلٍ يُصَلِّي أَوْ يَتَنَبَّأُ وَلَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ شَيْءٌ، يَشِينُ رَأْسَهُ.5وَأَمَّا كُلُّ امْرَأَةٍ تُصَلِّي أَوْ تَتَنَبَّأُ وَرَأْسُهَا غَيْرُ مُغَطّىً، فَتَشِينُ رَأْسَهَا لأَنَّهَا وَالمَحْلُوقَةَ شَيْءٌ وَاحِدٌ بِعَيْنِهِ.6إِذِ المَرْأَةُ إِنْ كَانَتْ لاَ تَتَغَطَّى، فَلْيُقَصَّ شَعْرُهَا، وَإِنْ كَانَ قَبِيحاً بِالمَرْأَةِ أَنْ تُقَصَّ أَوْ تُحْلَقَ، فَلْتَتَغَطَّ.7فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لاَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُغَطِّيَ رَأْسَهُ لِكَوْنِهِ صُورَةَ اللهِ وَمَجْدَهُ، وَأَمَّا المَرْأَةُ فَهِيَ مَجْدُ الرَّجُلِ.8لأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيْسَ مِنَ المَرْأَةِ بَلِ المَرْأَةُ مِنَ الرَّجُلِ،9وَلأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِنْ أَجْلِ المَرْأَةِ بَلِ المَرْأَةُ مِنْ أَجْلِ الرَّجُلِ.10لِهَذَا يَنْبَغِي لِلْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهَا سُلْطَانٌ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا مِنْ أَجْلِ المَلاَئِكَةِ.11غَيْرَ أَنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيْسَ مِنْ دُونِ المَرْأَةِ وَلاَ المَرْأَةُ مِنْ دُونِ الرَّجُلِ فِي الرَّبِّ،12لأَنَّهُ كَمَا أَنَّ المَرْأَةَ هِيَ مِنَ الرَّجُلِ هَكَذَا الرَّجُلُ أَيْضاً هُوَ بِالمَرْأَةِ، وَلَكِنَّ جَمِيعَ الأَشْيَاءِ هِيَ مِنَ اللهِ.13احْكُمُوا فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ، هَلْ يَلِيقُ بِالمَرْأَةِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ إِلَى اللهِ وَهِيَ غَيْرُ مُغَطَّاةٍ؟14أَمْ لَيْسَتِ الطَّبِيعَةُ نَفْسُهَا تُعَلِّمُكُمْ أَنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِنْ كَانَ يُرْخِي شَعْرَهُ فَهُوَ عَيْبٌ لَهُ،15وَأَمَّا المَرْأَةُ إِنْ كَانَتْ تُرْخِي شَعْرَهَا فَهُوَ مَجْدٌ لَهَا، لأَنَّ الشَّعْرَ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ لَهَا عِوَضَ بُرْقُعٍ.16وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يُظْهِرُ أَنَّهُ يُحِبُّ الْخِصَامَ، فَلَيْسَ لَنَا نَحْنُ عَادَةٌ مِثْلُ هَذِهِ وَلاَ لِكَنَائِسِ اللهِ.

17وَلَكِنَّنِي إِذْ أُوصِي بِهَذَا: لَسْتُ أَمْدَحُ كَوْنَكُمْ تَجْتَمِعُونَ لَيْسَ لِلأَفْضَلِ بَلْ لِلأَرْدَإِ.18لأَنِّي أَوَّلاً، حِينَ تَجْتَمِعُونَ فِي الْكَنِيسَةِ، أَسْمَعُ أَنَّ بَيْنَكُمُ انْشِقَاقَاتٍ، وَأُصَدِّقُ بَعْضَ التَّصْدِيقِ.19لأَنَّهُ لاَ بُدَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ بَيْنَكُمْ بِدَعٌ أَيْضاً لِيَكُونَ المُزَكَّوْنَ ظَاهِرِينَ بَيْنَكُمْ.20فَحِينَ تَجْتَمِعُونَ مَعاً لَيْسَ هُوَ لأَكْلِ عَشَاءِ الرَّبِّ،21لأَنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ يَسْبِقُ فَيَأْخُذُ عَشَاءَ نَفْسِهِ فِي الأَكْلِ، فَالْوَاحِدُ يَجُوعُ وَالآخَرُ يَسْكَرُ.22أَفَلَيْسَ لَكُمْ بُيُوتٌ لِتَأْكُلُوا فِيهَا وَتَشْرَبُوا؟ أَمْ تَسْتَهِينُونَ بِكَنِيسَةِ اللهِ وَتُخْجِلُونَ الَّذِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ؟ مَاذَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ؟ أَأَمْدَحُكُمْ عَلَى هَذَا؟ لَسْتُ أَمْدَحُكُمْ.23لأَنَّنِي تَسَلَّمْتُ مِنَ الرَّبِّ مَا سَلَّمْتُكُمْ أَيْضاً: إِنَّ الرَّبَّ يَسُوعَ، فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي أُسْلِمَ فِيهَا، أَخَذَ خُبْزاً24وَشَكَرَ، فَكَسَّرَ وَقَالَ: خُذُوا كُلُوا، هَذَا هُوَ جَسَدِي المَكْسُورُ لأَجْلِكُمُ، اصْنَعُوا هَذَا لِذِكْرِي.25كَذَلِكَ الْكَأْسَ أَيْضاً، بَعْدَمَا تَعَشَّوْا، قَائِلاً: هَذِهِ الْكَأْسُ هِيَ الْعَهْدُ الْجَدِيدُ بِدَمِي، اصْنَعُوا هَذَا كُلَّمَا شَرِبْتُمْ لِذِكْرِي.26فَإِنَّكُمْ كُلَّمَا أَكَلْتُمْ هَذَا الْخُبْزَ وَشَرِبْتُمْ هَذِهِ الْكَأْسَ تُخْبِرُونَ بِمَوْتِ الرَّبِّ إِلَى أَنْ يَجِيءَ.27إِذاً أَيُّ مَنْ أَكَلَ هَذَا الْخُبْزَ أَوْ شَرِبَ كَأْسَ الرَّبِّ بِدُونِ اسْتِحْقَاقٍ يَكُونُ مُجْرِماً فِي جَسَدِ الرَّبِّ وَدَمِهِ.28وَلَكِنْ لِيَمْتَحِنِ الإِنْسَانُ نَفْسَهُ وَهَكَذَا يَأْكُلُ مِنَ الْخُبْزِ وَيَشْرَبُ مِنَ الْكَأْسِ،29لأَنَّ الَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَيَشْرَبُ بِدُونِ اسْتِحْقَاقٍ، يَأْكُلُ وَيَشْرَبُ دَيْنُونَةً لِنَفْسِهِ غَيْرَ مُمَيِّزٍ جَسَدَ الرَّبِّ.30مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا فِيكُمْ كَثِيرُونَ ضُعَفَاءُ وَمَرْضَى وَكَثِيرُونَ يَرْقُدُونَ.31لأَنَّنَا لَوْ كُنَّا حَكَمْنَا عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا لَمَا حُكِمَ عَلَيْنَا،32وَلَكِنْ إِذْ قَدْ حُكِمَ عَلَيْنَا نُؤَدَّبُ مِنَ الرَّبِّ لِكَيْ لاَ نُدَانَ مَعَ الْعَالَمِ.33إِذاً، يَا إِخْوَتِي، حِينَ تَجْتَمِعُونَ لِلأَكْلِ، انْتَظِرُوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً.34إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَجُوعُ فَلْيَأْكُلْ فِي الْبَيْتِ كَيْ لاَ تَجْتَمِعُوا لِلدَّيْنُونَةِ، وَأَمَّا الأُمُورُ الْبَاقِيَةُ فَعِنْدَمَا أَجِيءُ أُرَتِّبُهَا.
