Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB
New International Version NIV
1 Be imitators of me, as I also am of Christ.
1
Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
2 Now I praise you because you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you.
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 know that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of Christ.
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 something on his head dishonors his head.
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, since that is one and the same as having her head shaved.
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 So if a woman's head is not covered, her hair should be cut off. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, she should be covered.
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, in fact, should not cover his head, because he is God's image and glory, but woman is man's glory.
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.
