1 Corinthians 11:8-18 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

8. It was the woman who was made from a man, and not the man who was made from a woman.

9. He wasn't created for her. She was created for him.

10. And so, because of this, and also because of the angels, a woman ought to wear something on her head, as a sign of her authority.

11. As far as the Lord is concerned, men and women need each other.

12. It is true that the first woman came from a man, but all other men have been given birth by women. Yet God is the one who created everything.

13. Ask yourselves if it is proper for a woman to pray without something on her head.

14. Isn't it unnatural and disgraceful for men to have long hair?

15. But long hair is a beautiful way for a woman to cover her head.

16. This is how things are done in all God's churches, and that's why none of you should argue about what I have said.

17. Your worship services do you more harm than good. I am certainly not going to praise you for this.

18. I am told that you can't get along with each other when you worship, and I am sure that some of what I have heard is true.
