Common English Bible

1 Corinthians 11:5-12 Common English Bible (CEB)

5. Every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered disgraces her head. It is the same thing as having her head shaved.

6. If a woman doesn’t cover her head, then she should have her hair cut off. If it is disgraceful for a woman to have short hair or to be shaved, then she should keep her head covered.

7. A man shouldn’t have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is man’s glory.

8. Man didn’t have his origin from woman, but woman from man;

9. and man wasn’t created for the sake of the woman, but the woman for the sake of the man.

10. Because of this a woman should have authority over her head, because of the angels.

11. However, woman isn’t independent from man, and man isn’t independent from woman in the Lord.

12. As woman came from man so also man comes from woman. But everything comes from God.
