Notes on this text (1)
- Spelling of 1909 (e.g. "fué", "á").
1 SED imitadores de mí, así como yo de Cristo.
1 Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.
2 Y os alabo, hermanos, que en todo os acordáis de mí, y retenéis las instrucciones [mías], de la manera que os 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 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.
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 Todo varón que ora ó profetiza cubierta la cabeza, afrenta su cabeza.
4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.
5 Mas toda mujer que ora ó profetiza no cubierta su cabeza, afrenta su cabeza; porque lo mismo es que si se rayese.
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 Porque si la mujer no se cubre, trasquílese también: y si es deshonesto á la mujer trasquilarse ó raerse, cúbrase.
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 Porque el varón no ha de cubrir la cabeza, porque es imagen y gloria de Dios: mas la mujer es gloria del varón.
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 varón no es de la mujer, sino la mujer del varón.
8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man;
9 Porque tampoco el varón fué criado por causa de la mujer, sino la mujer por causa del varón.
9 for man wasn’t created for the woman, but woman for the man.
10 Por lo cual, la mujer debe tener [señal de] potestad 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.
11 Mas ni el varón sin la mujer, ni la mujer sin el varón, en el Señor.
11 Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord.
12 Porque como la mujer es del varón, así también el varón es por la mujer: empero todo de Dios.
12 For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.
13 Juzgad vosotros mismos: ¿es honesto orar la mujer á Dios no cubierta?
13 Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?
14 La misma naturaleza ¿no os enseña que al hombre sea deshonesto criar cabello?
14 Doesn’t even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
15 Por el contrario, á la mujer criar el cabello le es honroso; porque en lugar de velo le es dado el cabello.
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 Con todo eso, si alguno parece ser contencioso, nosotros no tenemos tal costumbre, ni las iglesias de Dios.
16 But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God’s assemblies.
17 Esto empero os denuncio, que no alabo, que no por mejor sino por peor os juntáis.
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 Porque lo primero, cuando os juntáis en la iglesia, oigo que hay entre vosotros disensiones; 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 Porque preciso es que haya entre vosotros aun herejías, para que los que son probados se manifiesten entre vosotros.
19 For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.
20 Cuando pues os juntáis en uno, [esto] no es comer la cena del Señor:
20 When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat.
21 Porque cada uno toma antes para comer su propia cena; y el uno tiene hambre, y el otro está embriagado.
21 For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunken.
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.
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 Porque yo recibí del Señor lo que también os he enseñado: Que el Señor Jesús, la noche que fué 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.
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.
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 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.
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 Porque todas las veces que comiereis este pan, y bebiereis esta copa, la muerte del Señor anunciáis hasta que venga.
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
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.
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 tanto, pruébese cada uno á sí mismo, y coma así de aquel pan, y beba de aquella copa.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
29 Porque el que come y bebe indignamente, juicio come y bebe para sí, no discerniendo el cuerpo del Señor.
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 Por lo cual hay muchos enfermos y debilitados entre vosotros; y muchos duermen.
30 For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.
31 Que si nos examinásemos á nosotros mismos, cierto no seríamos juzgados.
31 For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn’t be judged.
32 Mas siendo juzgados, somos castigados del Señor, para que no seamos condenados con el mundo.
32 But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
33 Así, que, hermanos míos, cuando os juntáis á comer, esperaos unos á otros.
33 Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
34 Si alguno tuviere hambre, coma en su casa, porque no os juntéis para juicio. Las demás cosas ordenaré cuando llegare.
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).
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.
