New American Standard Bible 1995
1 Corinthians 11:4-15
4EveryG3956 manG435 who hasG2192 something on his headG2776 while prayingG4336 orG2228 1prophesyingG4395 disgracesG2617 his headG2776.
5But everyG3956 2womanG1135 who has her headG2776 uncoveredG177 while prayingG4336 orG2228 prophesyingG4395 disgracesG2617 her headG2776, for she is oneG1520 and the sameG846 as the womanG1135 3whose head is 4shavedG3587.
6For ifG1487 a womanG1135 does not coverG2619 5her head, let her alsoG2532 6have her hairG2751 cutG2751 offG2751; but ifG1487 it is disgracefulG150 for a womanG1135 to 7have her hairG2751 cutG2751 offG2751 orG2228 8her head shavedG3587, let her coverG2619 9her head.
7For a manG435 oughtG3784 not to have his headG2776 coveredG2619, since he is the 10imageG1504 and gloryG1391 of GodG2316; but the womanG1135 is the gloryG1391 of manG435.
8For 11manG435 12does not originateG1510 from womanG1135, but womanG1135 from manG435;
9for indeedG2532 manG435 was not createdG2936 for the woman’sG1135 sakeG1223, but 13womanG1135 for the man’sG435 sakeG1223.
10ThereforeG1223G3778 the womanG1135 oughtG3784 to haveG2192 a symbol of authorityG1849 on her headG2776, becauseG1223 of the angelsG32.
11HoweverG4133, in the LordG2962, neitherG3777 is womanG1135 14independentG5565 of manG435, norG3777 is manG435 15independentG5565 of womanG1135.
12For as the womanG1135 16originates from the manG435, soG3779 alsoG2532 the manG435 has his birth throughG1223 the womanG1135; and 17allG3956 thingsG3956 18originate 19from GodG2316.
1320JudgeG2919 21for yourselvesG4771G846: is it properG4241 for a womanG1135 to prayG4336 to GodG2316 with her head uncoveredG177?
14Does not evenG3761 natureG5449 itselfG846 teachG1321 you that ifG1437 a manG435 hasG2863 longG2863 hairG2863, it is a dishonorG819 to him,
15but ifG1437 a womanG1135 hasG2863 longG2863 hairG2863, it is a gloryG1391 to her? For her hairG2864 is givenG1325 to her for a coveringG4018.
