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.

Ein Weib aber, das da betet oder weissagt mit unbedecktem Haupt, die schändet ihr Haupt, denn es ist ebensoviel, als wäre es geschoren.
Mas toda mujer que ora o profetiza no cubierta su cabeza, afrenta su cabeza; porque lo mismo es que si se rayese.
En cambio, toda mujer que ora o profetiza con la cabeza descubierta deshonra su cabeza, pues es lo mismo que si estuviera rapada.
Toute femme, au contraire, qui prie ou qui prophétise, la tête non voilée, déshonore son chef: c'est comme si elle était rasée.
Ma ogni donna, orando, o profetizzando, col capo scoperto, fa vergogna al suo capo; perciocchè egli è una medesima cosa che se fosse rasa.
Mas toda a mulher que ora ou profetiza com a cabeça descoberta, desonra a sua própria cabeça, porque é como se estivesse rapada.
凡女人禱告或講道,若不蒙著頭,就是羞辱自己的頭,因為這就如同剃了頭髮一樣。
