1 Corinthians 11:12-18
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 11
12For as the woman originated from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman; and all things originate from God. 13Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14Does even nature itself not teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him, 15but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her as a covering. 16But if anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, nor have the churches of God.King James Version
Chapter 11
12For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God. 13Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? 14Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? 15But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 16But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 11
12For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman, and all things come from God.
13Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
14Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair it is a disgrace to him,
15but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her as a covering.
16If anyone wants to argue about this, we have no other custom, nor do the churches of God.
New Living Translation
13Judge for yourselves. Is it right for a woman to pray to God in public without covering her head?
14Isn’t it obvious that it’s disgraceful for a man to have long hair?
15And isn’t long hair a woman’s pride and joy? For it has been given to her as a covering.
16But if anyone wants to argue about this, I simply say that we have no other custom than this, and neither do God’s other churches.
English Standard Version
Chapter 11
12for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God. 13Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a wife to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for him, 15but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering. 16If anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, nor do the churches of God.New International Version
Chapter 11
12For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.
13Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
14Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,
15but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering.
16If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.
New King James Version
Chapter 11
12For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God.
13Judge among yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
14Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
15But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering.
16But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.
