1 Corinthians 11:1-16
Skip Heitzig
1 Corinthians 11 (NKJV™) | |
1 | Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. |
2 | Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you. |
3 | But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. |
4 | Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head. |
5 | But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved. |
6 | For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered. |
7 | For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. |
8 | For man is not from woman, but woman from man. |
9 | Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man. |
10 | For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. |
11 | Nevertheless, neither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord. |
12 | For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God. |
13 | Judge among yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? |
14 | Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him? |
15 | But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering. |
16 | But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God. |

First Corinthians was written to a church that was being adversely affected by the immoral culture around it. Skip Heitzig relates some teachings that seem very contemporary to us today.
