1 Corinthians 11:5-15

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

5 Every woman who prays or speaks what God has revealed and has her head uncovered while she speaks dishonors the one who has authority over her. She is like the woman who has her head shaved.

6 So if a woman doesn't cover her head, she should cut off her hair. If it's a disgrace for a woman to cut off her hair or shave her head, she should cover her head.

7 A man should not cover his head. He is God's image and glory. The woman, however, is man's glory.

8 Clearly, man wasn't made from woman but woman from man.

9 Man wasn't created for woman but woman for man.

10 Therefore, a woman should wear something on her head to show she is under [someone's] authority, out of respect for the angels.

11 Yet, as believers in the Lord, women couldn't exist without men and men couldn't exist without women.

12 As a woman came into existence from a man, so men come into existence by women, but everything comes from God.

13 Judge your own situation. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

14 Doesn't nature itself teach you that it is disgraceful for a man to have long hair?

15 Doesn't it teach you that it is a woman's pride to wear her hair long? Her hair is given to her in place of a covering.

New International Version NIV

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.
