New Century Version

1 Corinthians 11:6-15 New Century Version (NCV)

6. If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off. But since it is shameful for a woman to cut off her hair or to shave her head, she should cover her head.

7. But a man should not cover his head, because he is the likeness and glory of God. But woman is man’s glory.

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

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

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

11. But in the Lord women are not independent of men, and men are not independent of women.

12. This is true because woman came from man, but also man is born from woman. But everything comes from God.

13. Decide this for yourselves: Is it right for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

14. Even nature itself teaches you that wearing long hair is shameful for a man.

15. But long hair is a woman’s glory. Long hair is given to her as a covering.
