King James Version KJV
New International Version NIV
11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
11
Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.
12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
12
For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.
13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
13
Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
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 if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
15
but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering.
16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
16
If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.
17 Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.
17
In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good.
18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
18
In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it.
19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
19
No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God’s approval.
20 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.
20
So then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat,
21 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
21
for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers. As a result, one person remains hungry and another gets drunk.
