Notes on this text (1)
- Original 16th-century spelling.
1 Be yee followers of mee, euen as I am of Christ.
1 SED imitadores de mí, así como yo de Cristo.
2 Now brethren, I commend you, that ye remember all my things, and keepe the ordinances, as I deliuered 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 wil that ye know, that Christ is the head of euery man: and the man is the womans head: and God is Christs head.
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 Euery man praying or prophecying hauing any thing on his head, dishonoureth his head.
4 Todo varón que ora ó profetiza cubierta la cabeza, afrenta su cabeza.
5 But euery woman that prayeth or prophecieth bare headed, dishonoureth her head: for it is euen one very thing, as though she were shauen.
5 Mas toda mujer que ora ó profetiza no cubierta su cabeza, afrenta su cabeza; porque lo mismo es que si se rayese.
6 Therefore if the woman be not couered, let her also be shorne: and if it be shame for a woman to be shorne or shauen, let her be couered.
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 ought not to couer his head: for as much 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 the man was not created for the womans sake: but the woman for the mans sake.
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 haue power 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 Neuertheles, neither is the man without the woman, neither 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 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 Iudge in your selues, Is it comely that a woman pray vnto God vncouered?
13 Juzgad vosotros mismos: ¿es honesto orar la mujer á Dios no cubierta?
14 Doeth not nature it selfe teach you, that if a man haue long heare, it is a shame vnto him?
14 La misma naturaleza ¿no os enseña que al hombre sea deshonesto criar cabello?
15 But if a woman haue long heare, it is a prayse vnto her: for her heare is giuen her for a couering.
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 lust to be contentious, we haue no such custome, 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 Nowe in this that I declare, I prayse you not, that ye come together, not with profite, but with hurt.
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 heare that there are dissentions among you: and I beleeue it to be true in some part.
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 heresies euen among you, that they which are approoued among you, might be knowen.
19 Porque preciso es que haya entre vosotros aun herejías, para que los que son probados se manifiesten entre vosotros.
20 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eate the Lords Supper.
20 Cuando pues os juntáis en uno, [esto] no es comer la cena del Señor:
21 For euery man when they should eate, taketh his owne supper afore, 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 Haue ye not houses to eate and to drinke in? despise ye the Church of God, and shame them that haue not? what shall I say to you? shall I prayse you in this? I prayse 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 haue receiued of the Lord that which I also haue deliuered vnto you, to wit, That the Lord Iesus in the night when he was betrayed, tooke 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 hee had giuen thankes, hee brake it, and sayde, Take, eate: this is my body, which is broken for you: this doe ye 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 After the same maner also he tooke the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the Newe Testament in my blood: this doe as oft as ye drinke 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 shall eate this bread, and drinke this cup, ye shewe the Lords death till hee come.
26 Porque todas las veces que comiereis este pan, y bebiereis esta copa, la muerte del Señor anunciáis hasta que venga.
27 Wherefore, whosoeuer shall eate this bread, and drinke the cup of the Lord vnworthily, shall be guiltie of 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 euery man therefore examine himselfe, and so let him eate of this bread, and drinke of this 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 vnworthily, eateth and drinketh his owne damnation, because he discerneth not the Lords 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 are weake, and sicke among you, and many sleepe.
30 Por lo cual hay muchos enfermos y debilitados entre vosotros; y muchos duermen.
31 For if we would iudge our selues, we should not be iudged.
31 Que si nos examinásemos á nosotros mismos, cierto no seríamos juzgados.
32 But when we are iudged, we are chastened of the Lord, because we should 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 eate, tary one for another.
33 Así, que, hermanos míos, cuando os juntáis á comer, esperaos unos á otros.
34 And if any man be hungry, let him eate at home, that ye come not together vnto condemnation. Other things will I 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).
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.
