1 Corinthians 11
Legacy Standard Bible

11 (A)Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.

Head Coverings

2 Now (B)I praise you because you (C)remember me in everything and (D)hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you. 3 But I want you to understand that [a]Christ is the (E)head of every man, and (F)the man is the head of a woman, and God is the (G)head of [b]Christ. 4 Every man who has something on his head while praying or (H)prophesying, shames his head. 5 But every (I)woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying, shames her head, for she is one and the same as the woman [c]whose head is (J)shaved. 6 For if a woman does not cover [d]her head, let her also [e]have her hair cut short. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to [f]have her hair cut short or [g]her head shaved, let her cover [h]her head. 7 For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the (K)image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of man. 8 For (L)man [i]does not originate from woman, but woman from man. 9 For indeed man was not created for the woman’s sake, but (M)woman for the man’s sake. 10 Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. 11 Nevertheless, in the Lord, neither is woman [j]independent of man, nor is man [k]independent of woman. 12 For as the woman [l]originates from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman, but (N)all things [m]originate (O)from God. 13 (P)Judge [n]for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him, 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 But if one is inclined to be contentious, (Q)we have no [o]other practice, nor have (R)the churches of God.

The Lord’s Supper

17 But in giving this instruction, (S)I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse. 18 For, in the first place, when you come together [p]as a church, I hear that [q](T)divisions exist among you, and in part I believe it. 19 For there (U)must also be factions among you, (V)so that those who are approved may become [r]evident among you. 20 Therefore when you meet together in the same place, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper, 21 for in your eating each one takes his own supper first, and one is hungry and (W)another is drunk. 22 For do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the (X)church of God and (Y)shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall (Z)I praise you? In this I will not praise you.

23 For (AA)I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that (AB)the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was being betrayed took bread, 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same way He took (AC)the cup also after supper, saying, “This cup is the (AD)new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord (AE)until He comes.

27 Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be (AF)guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. 28 But a man must (AG)test himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly. 30 For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number [s](AH)sleep. 31 But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are (AI)disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with (AJ)the world.

33 So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. 34 If anyone is (AK)hungry, let him eat (AL)at home, so that you will not come together for judgment. The remaining matters I will (AM)direct (AN)when I come.

1 Corinthians 11
New International Version

11 1 Follow my example,(A) as I follow the example of Christ.(B)

On Covering the Head in Worship

2 I praise you(C) for remembering me in everything(D) and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you.(E) 3 But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ,(F) and the head of the woman is man,[a](G) and the head of Christ is God.(H) 4 Every man who prays or prophesies(I) with his head covered dishonors his head. 5 But every woman who prays or prophesies(J) with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved.(K) 6 For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.

7 A man ought not to cover his head,[b] since he is the image(L) and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. 8 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man;(M) 9 neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.(N) 10 It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own[c] head, because of the angels. 11 Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. 12 For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.(O)

13 Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, 15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. 16 If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.(P)

Correcting an Abuse of the Lord’s Supper(Q)

17 In the following directives I have no praise for you,(R) for your meetings do more harm than good. 18 In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions(S) among you, and to some extent I believe it. 19 No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God’s approval.(T) 20 So then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat, 21 for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers.(U) As a result, one person remains hungry and another gets drunk. 22 Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God(V) by humiliating those who have nothing?(W) What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you?(X) Certainly not in this matter!

23 For I received from the Lord(Y) what I also passed on to you:(Z) The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body,(AA) which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant(AB) in my blood;(AC) do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.(AD)

27 So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.(AE) 28 Everyone ought to examine themselves(AF) before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. 29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. 30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.(AG) 31 But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment.(AH) 32 Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined(AI) so that we will not be finally condemned with the world.(AJ)

33 So then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, you should all eat together. 34 Anyone who is hungry(AK) should eat something at home,(AL) so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment.

And when I come(AM) I will give further directions.

1 Corintios 11
Nueva Biblia de las Américas

11 Sean imitadores de mí(A), como también yo lo soy de Cristo.

La mujer en la iglesia

2 Los alabo(B) porque en todo se acuerdan de mí(C) y guardan las tradiciones con firmeza, tal como yo se las entregué(D). 3 Pero quiero que sepan que la cabeza(E) de todo hombre es Cristo[a], y la cabeza de la mujer es el hombre(F), y la cabeza de Cristo es Dios(G). 4 Todo hombre que cubre su cabeza mientras ora o profetiza(H), deshonra su cabeza. 5 Pero toda mujer que tiene la cabeza descubierta mientras ora o profetiza(I), deshonra su cabeza, porque se hace una con la que está rapada(J).

6 Porque si la mujer no se cubre la cabeza, que también se corte el cabello; pero si es deshonroso para la mujer cortarse el cabello, o raparse, que se cubra. 7 Pues el hombre no debe cubrirse la cabeza, ya que él es la imagen y gloria de Dios(K), pero la mujer es la gloria del hombre. 8 Porque el hombre no procede[b] de la mujer, sino la mujer del hombre(L). 9 En verdad el hombre no fue creado a causa de la mujer, sino la mujer a causa del hombre(M). 10 Por tanto, la mujer debe tener un símbolo de autoridad sobre la cabeza, por causa de los ángeles.

11 Sin embargo, en el Señor, ni la mujer es independiente del[c] hombre, ni el hombre independiente de la[d] mujer. 12 Porque así como la mujer procede del hombre, también el hombre nace de la mujer; y todas las cosas proceden de Dios(N). 13 Juzguen(O) ustedes mismos: ¿es propio que la mujer ore a Dios con la cabeza descubierta? 14 ¿No les enseña la misma naturaleza que si el hombre tiene el cabello largo le es deshonra, 15 pero que si la mujer tiene el cabello largo le es una gloria? Pues a ella el cabello le es dado por velo. 16 Pero si alguien parece ser contencioso, nosotros no tenemos tal costumbre(P), ni la tienen las iglesias de Dios(Q).

La Cena del Señor

17 Pero al darles estas instrucciones, no los alabo(R), porque no se congregan para lo bueno[e], sino para lo malo[f]. 18 Pues, en primer lugar, oigo que cuando se reúnen como iglesia[g] hay divisiones[h](S) entre ustedes, y en parte lo creo. 19 Porque es necesario que entre ustedes haya bandos(T), a fin de que se manifiesten entre ustedes los que son aprobados(U).

20 Por tanto, cuando se reúnen, esto ya no es comer la Cena del Señor. 21 Porque al comer, cada uno toma primero su propia cena, y uno pasa hambre y otro se embriaga(V). 22 ¿Qué? ¿No tienen casas para comer y beber? ¿O desprecian la iglesia de Dios(W) y avergüenzan a los que nada tienen(X)? ¿Qué les diré? ¿Los alabaré? En esto no los alabaré(Y).

23 Porque yo recibí del Señor lo mismo que les he enseñado[i](Z): que (AA)el Señor Jesús, la noche en que fue entregado, tomó pan, 24 y después de dar gracias, lo partió y dijo: «Esto es Mi cuerpo que es[j]para ustedes; hagan esto en memoria de Mí».

25 De la misma manera tomó también la copa después de haber cenado, diciendo: «Esta copa es el nuevo pacto(AB)en Mi sangre(AC); hagan esto cuantas veces la beban en memoria de Mí». 26 Porque todas las veces que coman este pan y beban esta copa, proclaman la muerte del Señor hasta que Él venga(AD).

27 De manera que el que coma el pan o beba la copa del Señor indignamente, será culpable del cuerpo y de la sangre del Señor(AE). 28 Por tanto, examínese cada uno[k] a sí mismo(AF), y entonces coma del pan y beba de la copa. 29 Porque el que come y bebe sin discernir correctamente el cuerpo del Señor, come y bebe juicio para sí. 30 Por esta razón hay muchos débiles y enfermos entre ustedes, y muchos duermen[l](AG). 31 Pero si nos juzgáramos a nosotros mismos, no seríamos juzgados. 32 Pero cuando somos juzgados, el Señor nos disciplina(AH) para que no seamos condenados con el mundo(AI).

33 Así que, hermanos míos, cuando se reúnan para comer, espérense unos a otros. 34 Si alguien tiene hambre(AJ), coma en su casa(AK), para que no se reúnan para juicio. Los demás asuntos los arreglaré(AL) cuando vaya(AM).
