ONBV Biblica Open New Living Bible (Nueva Biblia Viva 2008)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Sigan mi ejemplo, así como yo sigo el de Cristo.
1 Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.
2 Me alegra muchísimo, hermanos, que hayan recordado y puesto en práctica lo que les enseñé.
2 Now I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.
3 Pero hay algo que deseo recordarles: Cristo es la cabeza de todo hombre, mientras que el hombre es cabeza de la mujer y Dios es la cabeza de Cristo.
3 But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
4 Por eso, si un hombre no se descubre la cabeza mientras ora o predica, deshonra a Cristo.
4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.
5 Y si una mujer ora o profetiza en público sin cubrirse la cabeza, deshonra al esposo. Es como si estuviera rasurada por completo.
5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.
6 Por eso, si la mujer se niega a cubrirse la cabeza, debe cortarse el pelo. Y si no quiere cortárselo porque le es vergonzoso, cúbrase la cabeza.
6 For if a woman is not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or be shaved, let her be covered.
7 Pero el hombre no debe ponerse nada en la cabeza, porque es imagen y gloria de Dios. La gloria del hombre es la mujer,
7 For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.
8 porque el primer hombre no salió de una mujer, sino que la primera mujer salió de un hombre.
8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man;
9 Y el primer hombre, Adán, no fue hecho para Eva, sino ella para beneficio de Adán.
9 for man wasn’t created for the woman, but woman for the man.
10 Por esa razón es que la mujer debe cubrirse la cabeza como señal de la autoridad del hombre, y por respeto a los ángeles.
10 For this cause the woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels.
11 Pero recuerden que unidos al Señor, el hombre y la mujer se necesitan mutuamente,
11 Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord.
12 porque aunque la primera mujer salió de un hombre, desde entonces todos los hombres nacen de mujer, y todos proceden de Dios.
12 For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.
13 ¿Qué opinan realmente de esto? ¿Está bien que la mujer ore en público sin cubrirse la cabeza?
13 Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?
14 ¿El mismo orden natural de las cosas no nos enseña que es vergonzoso que el hombre se deje crecer el pelo?
14 Doesn’t even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
15 Para la mujer, por el contrario, es una gloria llevar los cabellos largos, pues le sirven de velo.
15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given to her for a covering.
16 El que quiera discutir este asunto, que lo discuta. Pero debe tener en cuenta que nosotros no tenemos otra costumbre, ni tampoco las demás iglesias de Dios.
16 But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God’s assemblies.
17 En esto que ahora les voy a escribir no puedo felicitarlos: me han dicho que cuando se congregan, resulta más para mal que para bien.
17 But in giving you this command I don’t praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.
18 Me han informado que se arman grandes discusiones en dichas reuniones, y en parte lo creo.
18 For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist among you, and I partly believe it.
19 Sin duda, debe haber grupos sectarios entre ustedes, para que se vea quiénes cuentan con la aprobación de Dios.
19 For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.
20 Cuando ustedes se juntan a comer, no comen la Cena del Señor
20 When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat.
21 sino la de ustedes. Me dicen que, al comer, cada uno come su propia comida y, como resultado, algunos se quedan con hambre, mientras que otros se emborrachan.
21 For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunken.
22 ¿Es que no pueden comer y beber en casa, para así no dañar a la iglesia ni avergonzar a los que, por ser pobres, no pueden llevar alimentos? ¿Qué debo decirles en cuanto a esto? ¿Debo alabarlos? ¡Pues no señor!
22 What, don’t you have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise God’s assembly and put them to shame who don’t have enough? What shall I tell you? Shall I praise you? In this I don’t praise you.
23 Esto es lo que el Señor me enseñó, y que ya les transmití antes: La noche en que Judas lo traicionó, el Señor Jesús tomó pan
23 For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread.
24 y, después de dar gracias a Dios, lo partió y dijo: «Esto es mi cuerpo que por ustedes es entregado. Hagan esto en memoria de mí».
24 When he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “Take, eat. This is my body, which is broken for you. Do this in memory of me.”
25 De la misma manera, tomó la copa después de haber cenado y dijo: «Esta copa es el nuevo pacto confirmado con mi sangre. Cada vez que la beban, háganlo en memoria de mí».
25 In the same way he also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink, in memory of me.”
26 Cada vez que comen este pan y beben de esta copa, están anunciando que Cristo murió por ustedes. Háganlo hasta que él venga.
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
27 Así que si alguien come de este pan y bebe de esta copa del Señor indignamente, está pecando contra el cuerpo y la sangre del Señor.
27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord’s cup in a way unworthy of the Lord will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
28 Por eso cada uno debe examinarse antes de comer el pan y beber la copa,
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
29 porque si come de este pan y bebe de esta copa sin pensar en el cuerpo de Cristo, come y bebe para su propio juicio.
29 For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy way eats and drinks judgment to himself if he doesn’t discern the Lord’s body.
30 Esa es la razón por la que tantos de ustedes están débiles y enfermos, y varios han muerto.
30 For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.
31 Si nos examinamos cuidadosamente antes de comer, no tenemos por qué ser juzgados.
31 For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn’t be judged.
32 Pero el Señor nos juzga y disciplina para que no seamos condenados con el resto del mundo.
32 But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
33 En fin, hermanos míos, cuando se reúnan para comer, espérense unos a otros.
33 Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
34 El que tenga hambre, coma en su casa, para que Dios no los castigue por lo que hacen en sus reuniones. Las demás cuestiones las hablaremos cuando vaya a verlos.
34 But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.

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.

    … 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.
