Holman Christian Standard Bible

1 Corinthians 11:4-10 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

4. Every man who prays or prophesies with something on his head dishonors his head.

5. But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since that is one and the same as having her head shaved.

6. So if a woman’s head is not covered, her hair should be cut off. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, she should be covered.

7. A man, in fact, should not cover his head, because he is God’s image and glory, but woman is man’s glory.

8. For man did not come from woman, but woman came from man.

9. And man was not created for woman, but woman for man.

10. This is why a woman should have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.
