1 Be ye imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.
1 SED imitadores de mí, así como yo de Cristo.
2 Now I praise you that ye remember me in all things, and hold fast the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.
2 Y os alabo, hermanos, que en todo os acordáis de mí, y retenéis las instrucciones [mías], de la manera que os enseñé.
3 But 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.
3 Mas quiero que sepáis, que Cristo es la cabeza de todo varón; y el varón es la cabeza de la mujer; y Dios la cabeza de Cristo.
4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoreth his head.
4 Todo varón que ora ó profetiza cubierta la cabeza, afrenta su cabeza.
5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonoreth her head; for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven.
5 Mas toda mujer que ora ó profetiza no cubierta su cabeza, afrenta su cabeza; porque lo mismo es que si se rayese.
6 For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.
6 Porque si la mujer no se cubre, trasquílese también: y si es deshonesto á la mujer trasquilarse ó raerse, cúbrase.
7 For a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
7 Porque el varón no ha de cubrir la cabeza, porque es imagen y gloria de Dios: mas la mujer es gloria del varón.
8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man:
8 Porque el varón no es de la mujer, sino la mujer del varón.
9 for neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man:
9 Porque tampoco el varón fué criado por causa de la mujer, sino la mujer por causa del varón.
10 for this cause ought the woman to have [a sign of] authority on her head, because of the angels.
10 Por lo cual, la mujer debe tener [señal de] potestad sobre su cabeza, por causa de los ángeles.
11 Nevertheless, neither is the woman without the man, nor the man without the woman, in the Lord.
11 Mas ni el varón sin la mujer, ni la mujer sin el varón, en el Señor.
12 For as the woman is of the man, so is the man also by the woman; but all things are of God.
12 Porque como la mujer es del varón, así también el varón es por la mujer: empero todo de Dios.
13 Judge ye in yourselves: is it seemly that a woman pray unto God unveiled?
13 Juzgad vosotros mismos: ¿es honesto orar la mujer á Dios no cubierta?
14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
14 La misma naturaleza ¿no os enseña que al hombre sea deshonesto criar cabello?
15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
15 Por el contrario, á la mujer criar el cabello le es honroso; porque en lugar de velo le es dado el cabello.
16 But if any man seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
16 Con todo eso, si alguno parece ser contencioso, nosotros no tenemos tal costumbre, ni las iglesias de Dios.
17 But in giving you this charge, I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better but for the worse.
17 Esto empero os denuncio, que no alabo, que no por mejor sino por peor os juntáis.
18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and I partly believe it.
18 Porque lo primero, cuando os juntáis en la iglesia, oigo que hay entre vosotros disensiones; y en parte lo creo.
19 For there must be also factions among you, that they that are approved may be made manifest among you.
19 Porque preciso es que haya entre vosotros aun herejías, para que los que son probados se manifiesten entre vosotros.
20 When therefore ye assemble yourselves together, it is not possible to eat the Lord’s supper:
20 Cuando pues os juntáis en uno, [esto] no es comer la cena del Señor:
21 for in your eating each one taketh before [other] his own supper; and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
21 Porque cada uno toma antes para comer su propia cena; y el uno tiene hambre, y el otro está embriagado.
22 What, have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this I praise you not.
22 Pues qué, ¿no tenéis casas en que comáis y bebáis? ¿ó menospreciáis la iglesia de Dios, y avergonzáis á los que no tienen? ¿Qué os diré? ¿os alabaré? En esto no os alabo.
23 For I received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread;
23 Porque yo recibí del Señor lo que también os he enseñado: Que el Señor Jesús, la noche que fué entregado, tomó pan;
24 and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, This is my body, which is for you: this do in remembrance of me.
24 Y habiendo dado gracias, lo partió, y dijo: Tomad, comed: esto es mi cuerpo que por vosotros es partido: haced esto en memoria de mí.
25 In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye drink [it], in remembrance of me.
25 Asimismo [tomó] también la copa, después de haber cenado, diciendo: Esta copa es el nuevo pacto en mi sangre: haced esto todas las veces que bebiereis, en memoria de mí.
26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye proclaim the Lord’s death till he come.
26 Porque todas las veces que comiereis este pan, y bebiereis esta copa, la muerte del Señor anunciáis hasta que venga.
27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
27 De manera que, cualquiera que comiere este pan ó bebiere esta copa del Señor indignamente, será culpado del cuerpo y de la sangre del Señor.
28 But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.
28 Por tanto, pruébese cada uno á sí mismo, y coma así de aquel pan, y beba de aquella copa.
29 For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body.
29 Porque el que come y bebe indignamente, juicio come y bebe para sí, no discerniendo el cuerpo del Señor.
30 For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.
30 Por lo cual hay muchos enfermos y debilitados entre vosotros; y muchos duermen.
31 But if we discerned ourselves, we should not be judged.
31 Que si nos examinásemos á nosotros mismos, cierto no seríamos juzgados.
32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
32 Mas siendo juzgados, somos castigados del Señor, para que no seamos condenados con el mundo.
33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait one for another.
33 Así, que, hermanos míos, cuando os juntáis á comer, esperaos unos á otros.
34 If any man is hungry, let him eat at home; that your coming together be not unto judgment. And the rest will I set in order whensoever I come.
34 Si alguno tuviere hambre, coma en su casa, porque no os juntéis para juicio. Las demás cosas ordenaré cuando llegare.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Having completed the discourse concerning the idol-sacrifices as became him, and having rendered it most perfect in all respects, he proceeds to another thing, which also itself was a complaint, but not so great a one.

… one born out of due time." Again, the coming of the Saviour with His attendants to Achamoth is declared in like manner by him in the same Epistle, when he says, "A woman ought to have a veil upon her head, because of the angels." Now, that Achamoth, when the Saviour came to her, drew a veil over herself through …
For there must be also heresies, that the approved may be made manifest among the weak.

For him do they resemble, who partake of the mysteries unworthily: it being said, that such a one "shall be guilty of the Body and Blood of the Lord." Yes; for they have in themselves the tyrant who is grieved at Christ's kingdom, him that is more wicked than Herod of old, even Mammon.

As the Apostle says, Who is the Image of the Invisible God; and a little after, and He is the Head of the body, the Church. And again, The Head of every man is Christ; and again, Who is the Head of all principality and power.
