The first rendering is YLT, the second is NASB95
4Every man praying or prophesying, having the head covered, doth dishonour his head,
4Every man who has something on his head while praying or prophesying disgraces his head.
In the NASB rendering the word something is added. It does not exist.
5and every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered, doth dishonour her own head, for it is one and the same thing with her being shaven,
5But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for she is one and the same as the woman fnwhose head is shaved.
6for if a woman is not covered -- then let her be shorn, and if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven -- let her be covered;
6For if a woman does not cover fnher head, let her also fnhave her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to fnhave her hair cut off or fnher head shaved, let her cover fnher head.
In NASB verse 6 the word head does not appear. YLT renders it way more accurately.
7for a man, indeed, ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God, and a woman is the glory of a man,
7For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.
8for a man is not of a woman, but a woman is of a man,
8For man fndoes not originate from woman, but woman from man;
9for a man also was not created because of the woman, but a woman because of the man;
9for indeed man was not created for the woman’s sake, but woman for the man’s sake.
10because of this the woman ought to have a token of authority upon the head, because of the messengers;
10Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.
The word symbol or token does not exist. Even YLT misses it here. The Reading should be that the woman ought to have power/authority over the head.
11but neither is a man apart from a woman, nor a woman apart from a man, in the Lord,
11However, in the Lord, neither is woman fnindependent of man, nor is man fnindependent of woman.
12for as the woman is of the man, so also the man is through the woman, and the all things are of God.
12For as the woman fnoriginates from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman; and all things fnoriginate from God.
13¶In your own selves judge ye; is it seemly for a woman uncovered to pray to God?
13Judge fnfor yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
Here again we have scholars adding the word head in the NASB rendering.
14doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man indeed have long hair, a dishonour it is to him?
14Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him,
15and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her;
15but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her for a covering.
I guess her hair isn't a covering to most people? Must be hard to read this verse or something?
16and if any one doth think to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the assemblies of God.
16But if one is inclined to be contentious, we have no fnother practice, nor have the churches of God.
I like this part that if anyone in inclined to be contentious, we have no such fellowship with them. To me it says, if a woman refuses to follow these instructions of being covered, then have no fellowship. Covered=authority. Refer to verse 3 for context. All questions refer to verse 3 for context.
The added text, the changes in the renderings, push to make the covering a piece of cloth that is supported NOWHERE else in scripture. What is supported is a covering, and authority structure.
Why does it matter? Here is the difference.
If it's a piece if cloth then a woman without authority over her, widow or woman out of her fathers house, ect, may pray and prophesy without any issue in the Assembly. Assuming she puts her cloth on first
If it's authority, then all women must be subjected to a man who will be praying or prophesying. They will all be protected by the authority structure that Yah put in place. Numbers 5 is one example.
You guys can keep your golden cow if you like, but if you used the same zeal and consistency for this as you do poly, you would find very quickly how you are grasping at straws.
