1 Corinthians 11:5 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

But if a woman prays or speaks God's word in public without covering her head, she's bringing shame to herself — it's like she shaved all her hair off in front of everyone.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Paul's saying uncovered heads in worship were as shocking as shaved heads back then.
