1 Corinthians 11:1-8 (Good News Translation)
View In My Bible
1
Imitate me, then, just as I imitate Christ. 1
2
I praise you because you always remember me and follow the teachings that I have handed on to you.
3
But I want you to understand that Christ is supreme over every man, the husband is supreme over his wife, and God is supreme over Christ.
4
So a man who prays or proclaims God's message in public worship with his head covered disgraces Christ.
5
And any woman who prays or proclaims God's message in public worship with nothing on her head disgraces her husband; there is no difference between her and a woman whose head has been shaved.
6
If the woman does not cover her head, she might as well cut her hair. And since it is a shameful thing for a woman to shave her head or cut her hair, she should cover her head.
7
A man has no need to cover his head, because he reflects the image and glory of God. But woman reflects the glory of man; 2
8
for man was not created from woman, but woman from man. 3
