1 Corinthians 11:1-16

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 Follow my example, just as I follow the example of Christ.

2 I praise you for being faithful in remembering me. I also praise you for staying true to all my teachings, just as I gave them to you.

3 Now I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ. The head of the woman is the man. And the head of Christ is God.

4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered brings shame on his head.

5 And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered brings shame on her head. It is just as if her head were shaved.

6 What if a woman does not cover her head? She should have her hair cut off. But it is shameful for her to cut her hair or shave it off. So she should cover her head.

7 A man should not cover his head. He is the likeness and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.

8 The man did not come from the woman. The woman came from the man.

9 Also, the man was not created for the woman. The woman was created for the man.

10 That's why a woman should have her head covered. It shows that she is under authority. She should also cover her head because of the angels.

11 But here is how things are for those who belong to the Lord. The woman is not independent of the man. And the man is not independent of the woman.

12 The woman came from the man, and the man is born from the woman. But everything comes from God.

13 You be the judge. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God without covering her head?

14 Suppose a man has long hair. Doesn't the very nature of things teach you that it is shameful?

15 And suppose a woman has long hair. Doesn't the very nature of things teach you that it is her glory? Long hair is given to her as a covering.

16 If anyone wants to argue about that, we don't have any other practice. And God's churches don't either.

New International Version NIV

1 Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.

2 I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you.

3 But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.

5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved.

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, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.

8 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man;

9 neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.

10 It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own 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.

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.
