ULTFor if a woman does not cover her head, let her hair also be cut off. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, let her cover her head.

USTIn fact, someone should cut short the hair of any woman who bares her head. Since people shame a woman who has short hair, women should not bare their heads.

OEBIndeed, if a woman does not keep her head covered, she may as well cut her hair short. But, since to cut her hair short, or shave it off, marks her as one of the shameless women, she should keep her head covered.

TCNTIf a woman will not veil herself, she should cut off her hair. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to cut off her hair or shave her head, she should wear a veil.

T4TSo, if women do not wear coverings over their heads when they pray or speak messages that God gave them, they should let someone shave their heads so that they will be ashamed. But since women are ashamed if someone cuts their hair short or shaves off their hair, they should wear coverings over their heads when they pray or speak messages that God gave them.

LEBFor if a woman does not cover herself, let her hair be shorn off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her head[fn] shorn or shaved, let her cover her head.[fn]

11:6 κειρασθαι ¦ κειρεσθαι PCK

Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs (from our SR-GNT base).


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: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

εἰ

if

Here Paul uses if to introduce a true possibility. He means that a woman might cover her head, or she might not. He specifies the result for if the woman does not cover her head. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this form by stating the if statement by introducing it with a word such as “whenever.” Alternate translation: [whenever]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐ κατακαλύπτεται & κατακαλυπτέσθω

not /is/_covering & ˱her˲_/let_be/_covering

Just as in 11:5, not “covering” the head could refer to: (1) not wearing a piece of clothing on the hair and back of the head. Alternate translation: [does not wear a cloth on her head … let her wear a cloth on her head] (2) not putting the hair up in a traditional hairstyle but instead letting it flow freely. Alternate translation: [loosens her hair … let her bind up her hair]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p

καὶ κειράσθω

also ˱her˲_/let/_shave

Here Paul uses a third-person imperative. If you have third-person imperatives in your language, you could use one here. If you do not have third-person imperatives, you could express the idea using a word such as “should” or “needs to.” Alternate translation: [her hair also needs to be cut off]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

καὶ κειράσθω

also ˱her˲_/let/_shave

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Paul uses the passive form here to focus on the hair, which is cut off, rather than focusing on the person doing the “cutting.” If you must state who does the action, Paul implies that “someone” does it. Alternate translation: [let a person cut her hair off also]

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact

(Occurrence 2) εἰ

if_‹it_is›

Paul is speaking as if this was a hypothetical possibility, but he means that it is actually true. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, and if your readers might think that what Paul is saying is not certain, then you could translate his words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: [because it is] or [since it is]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

τὸ κείρασθαι ἢ ξυρᾶσθαι

¬which /to/_shave or /to/_be_shaved

Here, to have her hair cut off refers to how hair is trimmed or cut much shorter. The phrase to be shaved refers to how hair can be cut so short that it is no longer visible. If your language has separate words for these two actions, you could use them here. If your language has only one word for cutting hair short, you could use just one word here. Alternate translation: [to have her hair cut short]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὸ κείρασθαι ἢ ξυρᾶσθαι

¬which /to/_shave or /to/_be_shaved

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Paul uses the passive form here to focus on the hair that is cut off or shaved rather than focusing on the person doing the “cutting” or “shaving.” If you must state who does the action, Paul implies that “someone” does it. Alternate translation: [to have someone cut her hair off or to shave her]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p

κατακαλυπτέσθω

˱her˲_/let_be/_covering

Here Paul uses a third-person imperative. If you have third-person imperatives in your language, you could use one here. If you do not have third-person imperatives, you could express the idea using a word such as “should” or “needs to.” Alternate translation: [she needs to cover her head]
