1 Corinthians 11:1-6

Revised Standard Version RSV

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

2 I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you.

3 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.

4 Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head,

5 but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head--it is the same as if her head were shaven.

6 For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her wear a veil.

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.
