RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Be ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ.
1 SED imitadores de mí, así como yo de Cristo.
2 Now I praise you, brethren, that in all things you are mindful of me: and keep my ordinances as I have 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 with his head covered, disgraceth 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 not covered, disgraceth her head: for it is all one 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 be not covered, let her be shorn. But if it be a shame to a woman to be shorn or made bald, let her cover her head.
6 Porque si la mujer no se cubre, trasquílese también: y si es deshonesto á la mujer trasquilarse ó raerse, cúbrase.
7 The man indeed ought not to cover his head, because 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 the man was not 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 Therefore ought the woman to have a power over 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 But yet neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man, 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 also is the man by the woman: but all things of God.
12 Porque como la mujer es del varón, así también el varón es por la mujer: empero todo de Dios.
13 You yourselves judge: doth it become a woman, to pray unto God uncovered?
13 Juzgad vosotros mismos: ¿es honesto orar la mujer á Dios no cubierta?
14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that a man indeed, if he nourish his hair, it is a shame unto him?
14 La misma naturaleza ¿no os enseña que al hombre sea deshonesto criar cabello?
15 But if a woman nourish her hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to 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 seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the church of God.
16 Con todo eso, si alguno parece ser contencioso, nosotros no tenemos tal costumbre, ni las iglesias de Dios.
17 Now this I ordain: not praising you, that you 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 I hear that when you come together in the church, there are schisms among you; and in part I 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 heresies: that they also, who 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 you come therefore together into one place, it is not now to eat the Lord’s supper.
20 Cuando pues os juntáis en uno, [esto] no es comer la cena del Señor:
21 For every one taketh before his own supper to eat. And one indeed is hungry and another is drunk.
21 Porque cada uno toma antes para comer su propia cena; y el uno tiene hambre, y el otro está embriagado.
22 What, have you 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? Do 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 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.
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 giving thanks, broke, and said: Take ye, and eat: this is my body, which shall be delivered for you: this do for the commemoration 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 chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration 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 you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come.
26 Porque todas las veces que comiereis este pan, y bebiereis esta copa, la muerte del Señor anunciáis hasta que venga.
27 Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of 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 that bread, and drink of the chalice.
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 unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.
29 Porque el que come y bebe indignamente, juicio come y bebe para sí, no discerniendo el cuerpo del Señor.
30 Therefore are there many infirm and weak among you, and many sleep.
30 Por lo cual hay muchos enfermos y debilitados entre vosotros; y muchos duermen.
31 But if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
31 Que si nos examinásemos á nosotros mismos, cierto no seríamos juzgados.
32 But whilst we are judged, we are chastised by the Lord, that we be not condemned with this world.
32 Mas siendo juzgados, somos castigados del Señor, para que no seamos condenados con el mundo.
33 Wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
33 Así, que, hermanos míos, cuando os juntáis á comer, esperaos unos á otros.
34 If any man be hungry, let him eat at home; that you come not together unto judgment. And the rest I will set in order, when 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).

  1. Commentary 11:2 John Chrysostom, Homilies on First Corinthians (Homily XXVI)

    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.

  2. Quotes verse 11:10 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book I, Chapter VIII)

    … 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 …

  4. Quotes verse 11:27 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily VII)

    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.
