New International Reader's Version

1 Corinthians 11:9-13 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

9. Also, the man was not created for the woman. The woman was created for the man.

10. That's why a woman should have her head covered. It shows that she is under authority. She should also cover her head because of the angels.

11. But here is how things are for those who belong to the Lord. The woman is not independent of the man. And the man is not independent of the woman.

12. The woman came from the man, and the man is born from the woman. But everything comes from God.

13. You be the judge. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God without covering her head?
