1 | To understand one verse ! | 1 Cor 11:16 | terryandangie | 103441 | ||
I've been studying 1 Cor 11:16. If you compare KJV NKJV, NRS to RSV,NLT,NIV they seem to be saying exactly opposite. Some translations seem to say that the "custom" was held by the churches, the others seem to say that the "custom" wasen't held by the churches. What did he mean by custom? One comentary said it meant women not covering there heads. Others said he was referring to women covering there heads. I've read several different comentarys and opinions on this chapter and have gotten many different views. The oppinons on this one verse follow which version of the Bible is used. I believe the older translations are not as accurate as some of the newer ones.It seems odd that the translations would vary so much in meaning. It makes it hard to understand exactly what Paul was trying to convey. My view is that the churches of that day held to the custom of the men having short hair and their heads uncovered and the women had a covering and or long hair. I don't seen any reason for this custom not to be practiced today as long as its not made a law. If it was a good practice for the churches back then it probably is still today. Most people hold to that custom anyway. Thanks Terry | ||||||

If anyone intends to quarrel about this, we have no other practice, nor do the churches of God. 1 Cor 11:16 (http://www.netbible.com) --Radioman2 |

It seems that I'm a bit late to chime in on this discussion, but it's something that I've studied for a long time and am quite passionate about. I believe that this verse is concluding Paul's exhortation regarding head coverings and that he is saying that this is the only option...this is the order of the church and anyone who doesn't like it should deal with it. I do believe that it is a practice that should be continued in today's church. I came to this conclusion, primarily because of Paul's appeals which extend beyond culture and that time period to the creation and order in it when God first created man and woman. I don't know if that means anything to anyone else, but that's where I'm at. | ||||||
