Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

1 Corinthians 10
³³ I, too, try to please everyone in everything I do. I don’t just do what is best for me; I do what is best for others so that many may be saved.
1 Corinthians 11
¹ And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ. (In print editions of the NLT, 11:1 is set as the last sentence of the final paragraph in chapter 10.)
² I am so glad that you always keep me in your thoughts, and that you are following the teachings I passed on to you.
³ But there is one thing I want you to know: The head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
⁴ A man dishonors his head if he covers his head while praying or prophesying.
⁵ But a woman dishonors her head if she prays or prophesies without a covering on her head, for this is the same as shaving her head.
⁶ Yes, if she refuses to wear a head covering, she should cut off all her hair! But since it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or her head shaved, she should wear a covering.
⁷ A man should not wear anything on his head when worshiping, for man is made in God’s image and reflects God’s glory. And woman reflects man’s glory.
⁸ For the first man didn’t come from woman, but the first woman came from man.
⁹ And man was not made for woman, but woman was made for man.
¹⁰ For this reason, and because the angels are watching, a woman should wear a covering on her head to show she is under authority.
