1 Corintios 11
Nueva Versión Internacional

11 1 Imítenme, así como yo imito a Cristo.

Decoro en el culto

2 Los elogio porque se acuerdan de mí en todo y retienen las enseñanzas,[a] tal como se las transmití.

3 Ahora bien, quiero que entiendan que Cristo es cabeza de todo hombre, mientras que el hombre es cabeza de la mujer y Dios es cabeza de Cristo. 4 Todo hombre que ora o profetiza con la cabeza cubierta[b] deshonra al que es su cabeza. 5 En cambio, toda mujer que ora o profetiza con la cabeza descubierta deshonra al que es su cabeza; es como si estuviera rasurada. 6 Si la mujer no se cubre la cabeza, que se corte también el cabello; pero si es vergonzoso para la mujer tener el pelo corto o la cabeza rasurada, que se la cubra. 7 El hombre no debe cubrirse la cabeza, ya que él es imagen y gloria de Dios, mientras que la mujer es gloria del hombre. 8 De hecho, el hombre no procede de la mujer, sino la mujer del hombre; 9 ni tampoco fue creado el hombre a causa de la mujer, sino la mujer a causa del hombre. 10 Por esta razón y a causa de los ángeles, la mujer debe llevar sobre la cabeza señal de autoridad.

11 Sin embargo, en el Señor, ni la mujer existe aparte del hombre ni el hombre aparte de la mujer. 12 Porque así como la mujer procede del hombre, también el hombre nace de la mujer; pero todo proviene de Dios. 13 Juzguen ustedes mismos: ¿Es apropiado que la mujer ore a Dios sin cubrirse la cabeza? 14 ¿No enseña el mismo orden natural de las cosas que es una vergüenza para el hombre dejarse crecer el cabello, 15 mientras que es una gloria para la mujer llevar cabello largo? Es que a ella se le ha dado su cabellera como velo. 16 Si alguien insiste en discutir este asunto, tenga en cuenta que nosotros no tenemos otra costumbre ni tampoco las iglesias de Dios.

La Cena del Señor(A)

17 Al darles las siguientes instrucciones, no puedo elogiarlos, ya que sus reuniones traen más perjuicio que beneficio. 18 En primer lugar, oigo decir que cuando se reúnen como iglesia hay divisiones entre ustedes, y hasta cierto punto lo creo. 19 Sin duda, tiene que haber divisiones entre ustedes, para que se demuestre quiénes cuentan con la aprobación de Dios. 20 De hecho, cuando se reúnen, ya no es para comer la Cena del Señor, 21 porque cada uno se adelanta a comer su propia cena, de manera que unos se quedan con hambre mientras otros se emborrachan. 22 ¿Acaso no tienen casas donde comer y beber? ¿O es que menosprecian a la iglesia de Dios y quieren avergonzar a los que no tienen nada? ¿Qué les diré? ¿Voy a elogiarlos por esto? ¡Claro que no!

23 Yo recibí del Señor lo mismo que les transmití a ustedes: Que el Señor Jesús, la noche en que fue traicionado, tomó pan 24 y, después de dar gracias, lo partió y dijo: «Esto es mi cuerpo, entregado por ustedes; hagan esto en memoria de mí». 25 De la misma manera, tomó la copa después de cenar y dijo: «Esta copa es el nuevo pacto en mi sangre; hagan esto cada vez que beban de ella en memoria de mí». 26 Porque cada vez que comen este pan y beben de esta copa, proclaman la muerte del Señor hasta que él venga.

27 Por lo tanto, cualquiera que coma el pan o beba de la copa del Señor de manera indigna será culpable de pecar contra el cuerpo y la sangre del Señor. 28 Así que cada uno debe examinarse a sí mismo antes de comer el pan y beber de la copa. 29 Porque el que come y bebe sin discernir el cuerpo[c] come y bebe su propia condena. 30 Por eso hay entre ustedes muchos débiles y enfermos, incluso varios han muerto.[d] 31 Si nos examináramos a nosotros mismos, no se nos juzgaría; 32 pero si nos juzga el Señor, nos disciplina para que no seamos condenados con el mundo.

33 Así que, hermanos míos, cuando se reúnan para comer, espérense unos a otros. 34 Si alguno tiene hambre, que coma en su casa, para que las reuniones de ustedes no resulten dignas de condenación.

Los demás asuntos los arreglaré cuando los visite.

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 Corinthians 11
Evangelical Heritage Version

11 1 Be imitators of me, just as I am of Christ.

Concerning Head Coverings at Worship

2 I praise you, brothers,[a] for remembering me in all things and holding firmly to the teachings[b] as I delivered them to you. 3 However, I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and man is woman’s head, and God is Christ’s head. 4 Every man who prays or prophesies with a covering hanging down from his head dishonors his head. 5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for it is one and the same thing as being a woman with a shaved head. 6 Indeed, if a woman does not wear a head covering, she should cut off her hair too. But if it is shameful for a woman to cut off her hair or shave her head, she should wear a head covering.

7 For a man ought not to wear a head covering, because he is the image and glory of God, but woman is man’s glory. 8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man, 9 and man was not created for the woman, but woman for the man. 10 For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head,[c] 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 comes through woman, and all things are from God.

13 Judge for yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Doesn’t the nature of things itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is disgraceful for him, 15 whereas if a woman has long hair, it is glorious for her? For her long hair has been given to her as a covering. 16 But if anyone is inclined to be contentious—we have no such custom, and neither do God’s churches.

A Sinful Practice at the Lord’s Supper Needs to Be Eliminated

17 Now in giving you this next command, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse. 18 For in the first place, I hear that when you come together in an assembly, there are divisions among you. And to some extent I believe it, 19 for there also have to be factions among you so that those who are approved may become evident among you. 20 So when you come together in the same place, it is not the Lord’s Supper that you eat. 21 For when you eat, each one goes ahead and takes his own supper, and so one person goes hungry while another is drunk. 22 What, don’t you have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise God’s church and humiliate those who have nothing? What am I to say to you? Shall I praise you? In this matter I do not praise you!

23 For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night when he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said,[d] “This is my body, which is[e] for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, after the meal, he also took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new testament[f] 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 Lord’s death until he comes.

27 Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the Lord’s body and blood. 28 Instead, let a person examine himself and after doing so, let him eat of the bread and drink from the cup. 29 For if anyone eats and drinks in an unworthy way[g] because he does not recognize[h] the Lord’s[i] body, he eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30 Because of this, many among you are weak and sick, and quite a few have fallen asleep.[j] 31 But if we judged ourselves, we would not be undergoing judgment. 32 However, when we undergo judgment, we are being disciplined by the Lord so that we may not be condemned with the world.

33 Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.[k] 34 If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home so that your coming together may not result in judgment. The rest of my instructions I will give when I come.
