1 You should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.
1 SED imitadores de mí, así como yo de Cristo.
2 I'm grateful that you always remember me and that you are keeping to the teachings just as I passed them on 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 I do want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, the man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of Christ.
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 A man's head is dishonored if he prays or prophesies with his head covered.
4 Todo varón que ora ó profetiza cubierta la cabeza, afrenta su cabeza.
5 A woman's head is dishonored if she prays or prophesies with her head uncovered—it's just as if she had her hair shaved off.
5 Mas toda mujer que ora ó profetiza no cubierta su cabeza, afrenta su cabeza; porque lo mismo es que si se rayese.
6 If a woman's head is not covered, then she should have her head shaved. If it's scandalous for a woman to be shorn or shaven, then she should have her head covered.
6 Porque si la mujer no se cubre, trasquílese también: y si es deshonesto á la mujer trasquilarse ó raerse, cúbrase.
7 A man shouldn't cover his head, because he is the image and glory of God, while 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 Man didn't come from woman, but woman came from man;
8 Porque el varón no es de la mujer, sino la mujer del varón.
9 and man was not created for the woman, but the woman was created for the man.
9 Porque tampoco el varón fué criado por causa de la mujer, sino la mujer por causa del varón.
10 That's why the woman should have this sign of authority on her head out of respect for the watching angels.
10 Por lo cual, la mujer debe tener [señal de] potestad sobre su cabeza, por causa de los ángeles.
11 Even so, from the Lord's perspective, the woman is as essential as the man, and the man as essential as the woman.
11 Mas ni el varón sin la mujer, ni la mujer sin el varón, en el Señor.
12 As the woman came from the man, so the man comes from the woman—but more importantly everything comes from God.
12 Porque como la mujer es del varón, así también el varón es por la mujer: empero todo de Dios.
13 Judge for yourselves: is it appropriate for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
13 Juzgad vosotros mismos: ¿es honesto orar la mujer á Dios no cubierta?
14 Doesn't nature itself indicate that a man with long hair disgraces himself?
14 La misma naturaleza ¿no os enseña que al hombre sea deshonesto criar cabello?
15 However, a woman with long hair brings herself glory, because her hair is given to her as 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 anyone wants to argue about this, we don't have any other custom than this, and neither do any other of God's churches.
16 Con todo eso, si alguno parece ser contencioso, nosotros no tenemos tal costumbre, ni las iglesias de Dios.
17 Now in giving you the instructions that follow I can't commend you, because when you meet together you cause more harm than good!
17 Esto empero os denuncio, que no alabo, que no por mejor sino por peor os juntáis.
18 First of all, I hear that when you have church meetings that you are split into different factions, and I believe there's some truth to this.
18 Porque lo primero, cuando os juntáis en la iglesia, oigo que hay entre vosotros disensiones; y en parte lo creo.
19 Of course such splits among you must happen so those who are genuine can prove themselves by their evidence!
19 Porque preciso es que haya entre vosotros aun herejías, para que los que son probados se manifiesten entre vosotros.
20 When you meet together you're not really celebrating the Lord's Supper at all.
20 Cuando pues os juntáis en uno, [esto] no es comer la cena del Señor:
21 Some want to eat first before everyone else, leaving others hungry. Still others get drunk.
21 Porque cada uno toma antes para comer su propia cena; y el uno tiene hambre, y el otro está embriagado.
22 Don't you have your own houses to eat and drink in? Do you look down on God's church, and humiliate those who are poor? What should I tell you? That you're doing really well? I have nothing good to say about you for doing this!
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 from the Lord what I passed on to you: the Lord Jesus on the night he was betrayed took some 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 After giving thanks, he broke the bread into pieces and said, “This bread is my body, which is given for you. Remember me by doing this.”
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 the same way he took the cup, after the meal, and said, “This cup is the new agreement sealed with my blood. Remember me when you drink it.
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 every time you eat this bread and drink from this cup you announce the Lord's death, until he returns.”
26 Porque todas las veces que comiereis este pan, y bebiereis esta copa, la muerte del Señor anunciáis hasta que venga.
27 So anyone who eats the bread or drinks from the Lord's cup in a dishonorable way will be guilty of doing wrong against the body and 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 Let each person examine themselves, and then let them eat the bread and drink from the cup.
28 Por tanto, pruébese cada uno á sí mismo, y coma así de aquel pan, y beba de aquella copa.
29 Those who eat and drink bring judgment on themselves if they don't recognize their relationship with 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 That's the reason why many of you are weak and sick, and some even have died.
30 Por lo cual hay muchos enfermos y debilitados entre vosotros; y muchos duermen.
31 However, if we really examined ourselves, we would not be judged like this.
31 Que si nos examinásemos á nosotros mismos, cierto no seríamos juzgados.
32 But when we are judged, we are being disciplined by the Lord so that we won't be condemned along with the world.
32 Mas siendo juzgados, somos castigados del Señor, para que no seamos condenados con el mundo.
33 So my brothers and sisters, when you meet together to eat the Lord's Supper, wait for each other.
33 Así, que, hermanos míos, cuando os juntáis á comer, esperaos unos á otros.
34 If anyone is hungry, then eat at home so that when you meet together you won't bring condemnation on yourselves. I'll give you more directions when I visit.
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.
