Peshitta New Testament

Peshitta New Testament — Murdock — Section 91

Moreover I commend you, my Brethren, that in 2 all things ye are mindful of me, and that ye hold fast the precepts as I delivered them to you. (3) 3 And I would have you know, that the head^* of every man is the Messiah, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of the Messiah is God. (4) Every man, who prayeth or prophesi- 4 eth'' with his head covered, dishonoreth his head. (5) And every woman, who prayeth or prophesi- 5 eth with her head uncovered, dishonoreth her head ; for she is on a level with her whose head is shaven. (6) For if a woman be not covered, let 6 her also be shorn ; but if it be shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

(14) Doth 14 not nature^ teach you, that in a man, if his hair groweth long, it is a reproach to him ? (15) But 15 for a woman, if her hair is abundant, it is a glory 1 CORINTHIANS, XI. 817 to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering. 16 (16) But if any one is contentious about these things, we on our part have no such custom, nor hath the church of God. 17 This which I now enjoin, is not as praising you; for ye have not made progress, but have deteriora- 18 ted. (18) Because, first ; when ye assemble in the church, there are, I hear, divisions among you ; and 19 I partly believe it. (19) For there are to be con- tentionss among you, that the approved among
