New International Reader's Version

1 Corinthians 11:14-19 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

14. Suppose a man has long hair. Doesn't the very nature of things teach you that it is shameful?

15. And suppose a woman has long hair. Doesn't the very nature of things teach you that it is her glory? Long hair is given to her as a covering.

16. If anyone wants to argue about that, we don't have any other practice. And God's churches don't either.

17. In the following matters, I don't praise you. Your meetings do more harm than good.

18. First, here is what people are telling me. When you come together as a church, you take sides. And in some ways I believe it.

19. No doubt you need to take sides in order to show which of you God agrees with!
