TSNTyndale Study Notes:

11:3-16 Paul now addresses a woman’s use of a head covering. Paul argues that women publicly praying or prophesying should wear a veil as an element of dressing modestly and appropriately in public worship (cp. 1 Tim 2:9; 1 Pet 3:3). Apparently some in Corinth were rejecting head coverings based on freedom in Christ. Paul’s argument in favor of the custom is based on traditional social conventions, the Genesis account of creation, and the watchful eye of angels.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

ἡ γυνὴ & τοῦ ἀνδρός & ὁ ἀνὴρ & τῆς γυναικός

the woman_‹is› & the man & the man_‹is› & the woman

Paul is speaking of “men” and “women” in general, not of one particular man and woman. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this form with a form that refers to people in general. Alternate translation: “every woman … men … every man … women”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὥσπερ & ἡ γυνὴ ἐκ τοῦ ἀνδρός, οὕτως καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ διὰ τῆς γυναικός

as & the woman_‹is› out_of the man thus also the man_‹is› through the woman

Here, even as the woman is from the man refers back to the story about how God made the first woman, Eve, from a rib he took from the first man, Adam. Paul has already referred to this story in 11:8. Paul then compares this with how the man is through the woman. This clause refers to how women give birth to men. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind what these two clauses refer to more explicitly. Alternate translation: “even as the first woman came from the first man, so also men are born from women”

τὰ & πάντα ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ

the_‹things› & all from ¬the God

Alternate translation: “God created all things”
