But I would haue you knowe, that the head of euery man is Christ: and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.

GenevaBut I wil that ye know, that Christ is the head of euery man: and the man is the womans head: and God is Christs head.

θέλω δὲ ὑμᾶς εἰδέναι ὅτι παντὸς ἀνδρὸς ἡ κεφαλὴ ὁ Χριστός ἐστιν, κεφαλὴ δὲ γυναικὸς ὁ ἀνήρ, κεφαλὴ δὲ τοῦ Χριστοῦ ὁ θεός.

Euery man praying or prophecying, hauing his head couered, dishonoureth his head.

GenevaEuery man praying or prophecying hauing any thing on his head, dishonoureth his head.

For if the woman be not couered, let her also bee shorne: but if it bee a shame for a woman to be shorne or shauen, let her be couered.

GenevaTherefore if the woman be not couered, let her also be shorne: and if it be shame for a woman to be shorne or shauen, let her be couered.

εἰ γὰρ οὐ κατακαλύπτεται γυνή, καὶ κειράσθω· εἰ δὲ αἰσχρὸν γυναικὶ τὸ κείρασθαι ἢ ξυρᾶσθαι, κατακαλυπτέσθω.

For a man in deede ought not to couer his head, forasmuch as hee is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

GenevaFor a man ought not to couer his head: for as much as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.

GenevaFor the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man.

Neuerthelesse, neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man in the Lord.

GenevaNeuertheles, neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man in the Lord.

πλὴν οὔτε γυνὴ χωρὶς ἀνδρὸς οὔτε ἀνὴρ χωρὶς γυναικὸς ἐν κυρίῳ·

GenevaFor as the woman is of the man, so is the man also by the woman: but all things are of God.

ὥσπερ γὰρ ἡ γυνὴ ἐκ τοῦ ἀνδρός, οὕτως καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ διὰ τῆς γυναικός· τὰ δὲ πάντα ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ.

Iudge in your selues, is it comely that a woman pray vnto God vncouered?

Doeth not euen nature it selfe teach you, that if a man haue long haire, it is a shame vnto him?

GenevaDoeth not nature it selfe teach you, that if a man haue long heare, it is a shame vnto him?

οὐδὲ ἡ φύσις αὐτὴ διδάσκει ὑμᾶς ὅτι ἀνὴρ μὲν ἐὰν κομᾷ, ἀτιμία αὐτῷ ἐστιν,

But if a woman haue long haire, it is a glory to her: for her haire is giuen her for a couering.

GenevaBut if a woman haue long heare, it is a prayse vnto her: for her heare is giuen her for a couering.

But if any man seeme to be contentious, we haue no such custome, neither the Churches of God.

GenevaBut if any man lust to be contentious, we haue no such custome, neither the Churches of God.

εἰ δέ τις δοκεῖ φιλόνεικος εἶναι, ἡμεῖς τοιαύτην συνήθειαν οὐκ ἔχομεν, οὐδὲ αἱ ἐκκλησίαι τοῦ θεοῦ.

Now in this that I declare vnto you, I praise you not, that you come together not for the better, but for the worse.

GenevaNowe in this that I declare, I prayse you not, that ye come together, not with profite, but with hurt.

For there must bee also heresies among you, that they which are approued may be made manifest among you.

GenevaFor there must be heresies euen among you, that they which are approoued among you, might be knowen.

When yee come together therefore into one place, this is not to eate the Lords Supper.

GenevaHaue ye not houses to eate and to drinke in? despise ye the Church of God, and shame them that haue not? what shall I say to you? shall I prayse you in this? I prayse you not.

μὴ γὰρ οἰκίας οὐκ ἔχετε εἰς τὸ ἐσθίειν καὶ πίνειν; ἢ τῆς ἐκκλησίας τοῦ θεοῦ καταφρονεῖτε, καὶ καταισχύνετε τοὺς μὴ ἔχοντας; τί εἴπω ὑμῖν; ἐπαινέσω ὑμᾶς; ἐν τούτῳ οὐκ ἐπαινῶ.
