PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Sean imitadores de mí, como yo de Cristo.
1 Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.
1 Μιμηταί μου γίνεσθε, καθὼς κἀγὼ Χριστοῦ.
2 Los alabo, porque en todo se acuerdan de mí y retienen las instrucciones como las entregué.
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.
2 Ἐπαινῶ δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, ὅτι πάντα μου μέμνησθε καὶ καθὼς παρέδωκα ὑμῖν τὰς παραδόσεις κατέχετε.
3 Pero quiero que ustedes sepan que Cristo es la cabeza de todo varón, y el esposo, [la ]cabeza de [la] esposa, y Dios, [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.
3 θέλω δὲ ὑμᾶς εἰδέναι ὅτι παντὸς ἀνδρὸς ἡ κεφαλὴ ὁ Χριστός ἐστι, κεφαλὴ δὲ γυναικὸς ὁ ἀνήρ, κεφαλὴ δὲ Χριστοῦ ὁ Θεός.
4 Todo varón que habla con Dios o que predica con [la] cabeza cubierta, deshonra su Cabeza.
4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.
4 πᾶς ἀνὴρ προσευχόμενος ἢ προφητεύων κατὰ κεφαλῆς ἔχων καταισχύνει τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ.
5 Pero toda mujer que habla con Dios o que predica sin velo en la cabeza deshonra su cabeza, porque está como si estuviera rapada.
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.
5 πᾶσα δὲ γυνὴ προσευχομένη ἢ προφητεύουσα ἀκατακαλύπτῳ τῇ κεφαλῇ καταισχύνει τὴν κεφαλὴν ἑαυτῆς· ἓν γάρ ἐστι καὶ τὸ αὐτὸ τῇ ἐξυρημένῃ.
6 Porque si una mujer no se cubre, que se corte el cabello. Y si es vergonzoso para una mujer cortarse el cabello, o raparse, que se cubra.
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.
6 εἰ γὰρ οὐ κατακαλύπτεται γυνή, καὶ κειράσθω· εἰ δὲ αἰσχρὸν γυναικὶ τὸ κείρασθαι ἢ ξυρᾶσθαι, κατακαλυπτέσθω.
7 Porque [el] hombre, quien es imagen y resplandor de Dios, no debe cubrirse la cabeza, pero la mujer es el resplandor del hombre.
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.
7 ἀνὴρ μὲν γὰρ οὐκ ὀφείλει κατακαλύπτεσθαι τὴν κεφαλήν, εἰκὼν καὶ δόξα Θεοῦ ὑπάρχων· γυνὴ δὲ δόξα ἀνδρός ἐστιν.
8 Porque no procede el varón de la mujer, sino la mujer del varón,
8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man;
8 οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ἀνὴρ ἐκ γυναικός, ἀλλὰ γυνὴ ἐξ ἀνδρός·
9 porque no fue creado un varón de una mujer, sino una mujer de un varón.
9 for man wasn’t created for the woman, but woman for the man.
9 καὶ γὰρ οὐκ ἐκτίσθη ἀνὴρ διὰ τὴν γυναῖκα, ἀλλὰ γυνὴ διὰ τὸν ἄνδρα.
10 Por tanto [la] mujer debe tener autoridad sobre su cabeza por causa de los ángeles.
10 For this cause the woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels.
10 διὰ τοῦτο ὀφείλει ἡ γυνὴ ἐξουσίαν ἔχειν ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς διὰ τοὺς ἀγγέλους.
11 Sin embargo, en el Señor, ni la mujer es independiente del hombre, ni el hombre, independiente de la mujer.
11 Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord.
11 πλὴν οὔτε ἀνὴρ χωρὶς γυναικὸς οὔτε γυνὴ χωρὶς ἀνδρὸς ἐν Κυρίῳ·
12 Porque así como la mujer [procede] del varón, también el varón nace de la mujer, pero todas las cosas [proceden] de Dios.
12 For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.
12 ὥσπερ γὰρ ἡ γυνὴ ἐκ τοῦ ἀνδρός, οὕτω καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ διὰ τῆς γυναικός, τὰ δὲ πάντα ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ.
13 Juzguen entre ustedes mismos: ¿Es conveniente que una mujer hable con Dios sin velo sobre su cabeza?
13 Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?
13 ἐν ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς κρίνατε· πρέπον ἐστὶ γυναῖκα ἀκατακάλυπτον τῷ Θεῷ προσεύχεσθαι;
14 ¿No les enseña la misma naturaleza que si un varón deja crecer el cabello le es una deshonra,
14 Doesn’t even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
14 ἢ οὐδὲ αὐτὴ ἡ φύσις διδάσκει ὑμᾶς ὅτι ἀνὴρ μὲν ἐὰν κομᾷ, ἀτιμία αὐτῷ ἐστι,
15 pero, si una mujer deja crecer su cabello le es un esplendor? Porque se le dio en lugar de cubierta.
15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given to her for a covering.
15 γυνὴ δὲ ἐὰν κομᾷ, δόξα αὐτῇ ἐστιν; ὅτι ἡ κόμη ἀντὶ περιβολαίου δέδοται αὐτῇ.
16 Pero, si alguno quiere contradecir, sepa que nosotros y las iglesias de Dios no tenemos tal costumbre.
16 But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God’s assemblies.
16 Εἰ δέ τις δοκεῖ φιλόνεικος εἶναι, ἡμεῖς τοιαύτην συνήθειαν οὐκ ἔχομεν, οὐδὲ αἱ ἐκκλησίαι τοῦ Θεοῦ.
17 En la instrucción que les voy a dar, no [los ]alabo, porque ustedes no se congregan para lo mejor, sino para lo peor.
17 But in giving you this command I don’t praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.
17 Τοῦτο δὲ παραγγέλλων οὐκ ἐπαινῶ ὅτι οὐκ εἰς τὸ κρεῖττον, ἀλλ᾽ εἰς τὸ ἧττον συνέρχεσθε.
18 En primer lugar oigo que hay divisiones entre ustedes cuando se reúnen como iglesia. 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.
18 πρῶτον μὲν γὰρ συνερχομένων ὑμῶν ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ ἀκούω σχίσματα ἐν ὑμῖν ὑπάρχειν, καὶ μέρος τι πιστεύω·
19 Porque también es necesario que haya grupos de diferente opinión entre ustedes para que se manifiesten los que son aprobados.
19 For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.
19 δεῖ γὰρ καὶ αἱρέσεις ἐν ὑμῖν εἶναι, ἵνα οἱ δόκιμοι φανεροὶ γένωνται ἐν ὑμῖν.
20 Cuando ustedes se reúnen en un lugar, no significa que lo que comen es [la] cena del Señor.
20 When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat.
20 συνερχομένων οὖν ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ οὐκ ἔστι κυριακὸν δεῖπνον φαγεῖν·
21 Porque cuando comen, cada uno se adelanta a comer su propia cena. Uno tiene hambre y otro se embriaga.
21 For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunken.
21 ἕκαστος γὰρ τὸ ἴδιον δεῖπνον προλαμβάνει ἐν τῷ φαγεῖν, καὶ ὃς μὲν πεινᾷ, ὃς δὲ μεθύει.
22 ¿No tienen casas donde comer y beber? ¿Desprecian la iglesia de Dios y humillan a los que no tienen? ¿Qué les digo? ¿Los alabo? En esto no [los] alabo.
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.
22 μὴ γὰρ οἰκίας οὐκ ἔχετε εἰς τὸ ἐσθίειν καὶ πίνειν; ἢ τῆς ἐκκλησίας τοῦ Θεοῦ καταφρονεῖτε, καὶ καταισχύνετε τοὺς μὴ ἔχοντας; τί ὑμῖν εἴπω; ἐπαινέσω ὑμᾶς ἐν τούτῳ; οὐκ ἐπαινῶ.
23 Porque yo recibí del Señor lo mismo que les enseñé: Que el Señor Jesús, la noche cuando fue entregado, 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.
23 ἐγὼ γὰρ παρέλαβον ἀπὸ τοῦ Κυρίου ὃ καὶ παρέδωκα ὑμῖν, ὅτι ὁ Κύριος Ἰησοῦς ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ᾗ παρεδίδοτο ἔλαβεν ἄρτον καὶ εὐχαριστήσας ἔκλασε καὶ εἶπε·
24 dio gracias, lo partió y dijo: Esto es mi cuerpo que por ustedes [es partido]. 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.”
24 λάβετε φάγετε· τοῦτό μού ἐστι τὸ σῶμα τὸ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν κλώμενον· τοῦτο ποιεῖτε εἰς τὴν ἐμὴν ἀνάμνησιν.
25 De la misma manera, después de comer tomó la copa y dijo: Esta copa es el Nuevo Pacto [confirmado] en mi sangre. Hagan esto en memoria de Mí cuantas veces la beban.
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.”
25 ὡσαύτως καὶ τὸ ποτήριον μετὰ τὸ δειπνῆσαι λέγων· τοῦτο τὸ ποτήριον ἡ καινὴ διαθήκη ἐστὶν ἐν τῷ ἐμῷ αἵματι· τοῦτο ποιεῖτε, ὁσάκις ἂν πίνητε, εἰς τὴν ἐμὴν ἀνάμνησιν.
26 Porque cada vez que coman este pan y beban la copa, la muerte del Señor proclaman hasta cuando Él venga.
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
26 ὁσάκις γὰρ ἂν ἐσθίητε τὸν ἄρτον τοῦτον καὶ τὸ ποτήριον τοῦτο πίνητε, τὸν θάνατον τοῦ Κυρίου καταγγέλλετε, ἄχρις οὗ ἂν ἔλθῃ.
27 Por tanto, cualquiera que coma el pan o beba la copa del Señor indignamente, será culpable del cuerpo y de 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.
27 ὥστε ὃς ἂν ἐσθίῃ τὸν ἄρτον τοῦτον ἢ πίνῃ τὸ ποτήριον τοῦ Κυρίου ἀναξίως, ἔνοχος ἔσται τοῦ σώματος καὶ αἵματος τοῦ Κυρίου.
28 Así que examínese cada uno, y luego coma del pan y beba de la copa.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
28 δοκιμαζέτω δὲ ἄνθρωπος ἑαυτόν, καὶ οὕτως ἐκ τοῦ ἄρτου ἐσθιέτω καὶ ἐκ τοῦ ποτηρίου πινέτω·
29 Porque el que come y bebe sin reconocer el Cuerpo, juicio come y bebe para él.
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.
29 ὁ γὰρ ἐσθίων καὶ πίνων ἀναξίως κρῖμα ἑαυτῷ ἐσθίει καὶ πίνει, μὴ διακρίνων τὸ σῶμα τοῦ Κυρίου.
30 Por esto hay muchos débiles y enfermos entre ustedes y muchos duermen.
30 For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.
30 διὰ τοῦτο ἐν ὑμῖν πολλοὶ ἀσθενεῖς καὶ ἄρρωστοι καὶ κοιμῶνται ἱκανοί.
31 Si nos evaluamos a nosotros mismos, no seríamos juzgados.
31 For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn’t be judged.
31 εἰ γὰρ ἑαυτοὺς διεκρίνομεν, οὐκ ἂν ἐκρινόμεθα·
32 Pero al ser juzgados, somos disciplinados por [el] Señor, para que no seamos condenados por el mundo.
32 But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
32 κρινόμενοι δὲ ὑπὸ [τοῦ] Κυρίου παιδευόμεθα, ἵνα μὴ σὺν τῷ κόσμῳ κατακριθῶμεν.
33 Por tanto, hermanos míos, cuando se reúnen para comer, espérense unos a otros.
33 Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
33 Ὥστε, ἀδελφοί μου, συνερχόμενοι εἰς τὸ φαγεῖν ἀλλήλους ἐκδέχεσθε·
34 Si alguno tiene hambre, coma en casa, a fin de que no se reúnan para juicio. Dispondré las demás cosas cuando vaya.
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.
34 εἰ δέ τις πεινᾷ, ἐν οἴκῳ ἐσθιέτω, ἵνα μὴ εἰς κρῖμα συνέρχησθε. Τὰ δὲ λοιπὰ ὡς ἂν ἔλθω διατάξομαι.

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.

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 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.
