New American Standard Bible 1995
1 Corinthians 11:3-9
3But I wantG2309 you to understandG3609 that 1ChristG5547 is the 2headG2776 of everyG3956 manG435, and 3the manG435 is the headG2776 of a womanG1135, and GodG2316 is the 4headG2776 of 5ChristG5547.
4EveryG3956 manG435 who hasG2192 something on his headG2776 while prayingG4336 orG2228 6prophesyingG4395 disgracesG2617 his headG2776.
5But everyG3956 7womanG1135 who has her headG2776 uncoveredG177 while prayingG4336 orG2228 prophesyingG4395 disgracesG2617 her headG2776, for she is oneG1520 and the sameG846 as the womanG1135 8whose head is 9shavedG3587.
6For ifG1487 a womanG1135 does not coverG2619 10her head, let her alsoG2532 11have her hairG2751 cutG2751 offG2751; but ifG1487 it is disgracefulG150 for a womanG1135 to 12have her hairG2751 cutG2751 offG2751 orG2228 13her head shavedG3587, let her coverG2619 14her head.
7For a manG435 oughtG3784 not to have his headG2776 coveredG2619, since he is the 15imageG1504 and gloryG1391 of GodG2316; but the womanG1135 is the gloryG1391 of manG435.
8For 16manG435 17does not originateG1510 from womanG1135, but womanG1135 from manG435;
9for indeedG2532 manG435 was not createdG2936 for the woman’sG1135 sakeG1223, but 18womanG1135 for the man’sG435 sakeG1223.
