Řád při bohoslužbě je nutný

Jinak vás musím pochválit, že na mne nezapomínáte a držíte se toho, co jsem vás naučil. Nelíbí se mi však móda, jakou u vás některé ženy začínají pěstovat: když ve veřejných shromážděních vzývají Boha nebo o něm hovoří, nezahalují si hlavu. Vždyť je to stejný projev neúcty, jako když muž si nechá ve společnosti na hlavě pokrývku. Platí-li v důstojnosti pořadí Bůh – Kristus – muž – žena, pak si má žena hlavu zahalovat, jako si ji zahalují andělé před Bohem. Muž to nedělá proto, že má nezakrytě zrcadlit Boží slávu, a žena to má dělat proto, že tím uznává vyšší autoritu muže. Takový je aspoň všeobecný zvyk. Jinak jsou si ovšem obě pohlaví rovna v tom, že jako žena pochází z muže, tak se muž zase rodí z ženy; oba stejně vděčí za svůj život Bohu.1Co 4:16; Php 3:17; 1Co 15:1; Jhn 14:28; Eph 5:23; Col 3:10

B21 ¹Řiďte se mým příkladem, tak jako já Kristovým. ²Chválím vás, že na mě stále pamatujete a držíte se učení, které jsem vám předal. ³Chtěl bych však, abyste si uvědomili, že hlavou každého muže je Kristus, hlavou ženy její muž a hlavou Krista Bůh. ⁴Každý muž, který se modlí nebo prorokuje s pokrytou hlavou, dělá ostudu Tomu, který je mu hlavou. ⁵Stejně tak každá žena, která se modlí nebo prorokuje s nezahalenou hlavou, dělá ostudu tomu, který je jí hlavou; je to úplně stejné, jako kdyby se oholila. ⁶Pokud se žena nechce zahalovat, pak ať se rovnou ostříhá. Pokud se ovšem stydí ostříhat nebo oholit, pak ať se tedy zahaluje. ⁷Muž si nemá zahalovat hlavu, neboť je obrazem a slávou Boží. Žena je ale slávou svého muže. ⁸Muž přece nebyl stvořen z ženy, ale žena z muže. ⁹Muž také nebyl stvořen kvůli ženě, ale žena kvůli muži. ¹⁰Proto ať si žena zahaluje hlavu na znamení autority kvůli andělům. ¹¹V Pánu ovšem není žena bez muže ani muž bez ženy. ¹²Vždyť jako je žena z muže, tak je zas muž skrze ženu – a všechno společně je z Boha. ¹³Posuďte sami: je vhodné, aby se žena modlila k Bohu nezahalená? ¹⁴Copak vás neučí sama přirozenost, že pro muže jsou dlouhé vlasy ostudou? ¹⁵Pro ženu jsou však dlouhé vlasy slávou; jsou jí totiž dány jako pokrývka. ¹⁶Pokud se o tom někdo chce hádat, my to ve zvyku nemáme a církve Boží také ne.

BKR ¹Následovníci moji buďte, jako i já Kristův. ²Chválímť pak vás, bratří, že všecky věci mé v paměti máte, a jakž jsem vydal vám ustanovení, tak je zachováváte. ³Chciť pak, abyste věděli, že všelikého muže hlava jest Kristus, a hlava ženy muž, hlava pak Kristova Bůh. ⁴Každý muž, modle se aneb prorokuje s přikrytou hlavou, ohyžďuje hlavu svou. ⁵Každá pak žena, modleci se anebo prorokujici s nepřikrytou hlavou, ohyžďuje hlavu svou; nebo jednostejná věc jest, jako by se oholila. ⁶Nebo nezavíjí-liť žena hlavy své, nechažť se také ostříhá. Pakli jest mrzká věc ženě oholiti se neb ostříhati, nechažť se zavíjí. ⁷Mužť nemá zavíjeti hlavy své, obraz a sláva Boží jsa, ale žena sláva mužova jest. ⁸Nebo není muž z ženy, ale žena z muže. ⁹Není zajisté muž stvořen pro ženu, ale žena pro muže. ¹⁰Protož máť žena míti obestření na hlavě pro anděly. ¹¹Avšak ani muž bez ženy, ani žena bez muže, v Pánu. ¹²Nebo jakož žena jest z muže, tak i muž skrze ženu, všecky pak věci z Boha. ¹³Vy sami mezi sebou suďte, sluší-li se ženě s nepřikrytou hlavou modliti Bohu. ¹⁴Zdaliž vás i samo přirození neučí, žeť jest ohyzda muži míti dlouhé vlasy? ¹⁵Ale ženě míti dlouhé vlasy poctivé jest; nebo vlasové k zastírání dány jsou jí. ¹⁶Jestliže pak komu se vidí neustupným býti, myť takového obyčeje nemáme, ani církev Boží.

BLT ¹Vocês devem fazer como eu, exatamente, como eu faço ao imitar Cristo. ²Eu sou grato por vocês sempre se lembrarem de mim e por seguirem os ensinamentos exatamente como eu os transmiti a vocês. ³Quero que vocês entendam que Cristo é a autoridade sobre cada homem, e o homem é a autoridade sobre a mulher e, finalmente, que Deus é a autoridade sobre Cristo. ⁴Um homem perde a sua autoridade se ora ou faz profecias com a cabeça coberta. ⁵Já uma mulher perde a sua autoridade quando ela ora ou faz profecias com a cabeça descoberta. Pois é exatamente como se ela tivesse rapado a cabeça. ⁶Se a cabeça de uma mulher não está coberta, então, sua cabeça deveria ser rapada. Se é vergonhoso para uma mulher ter o cabelo cortado ou rapado, então, ela deveria sempre cobrir a sua cabeça. ⁷Um homem, em contrapartida, não deveria cobrir a cabeça, pois ele é a imagem e a glória de Deus, enquanto a mulher é a glória do homem. ⁸O homem não veio da mulher, mas a mulher veio do homem. ⁹E o homem não foi criado por causa da mulher e, sim, a mulher foi criada por causa do homem. ¹⁰É por isso que a mulher deveria ter esse sinal de autoridade em sua cabeça, por respeito aos anjos vigilantes. ¹¹Mesmo assim, a partir da visão do Senhor, a mulher é tão fundamental quanto o homem, e o homem é tão fundamental quanto a mulher. ¹²Como a mulher veio do homem, da mesma forma o homem vem da mulher. Porém, o principal é que tudo vem de Deus. ¹³Julguem por si mesmos: é adequado que uma mulher ore a Deus com a cabeça descoberta? ¹⁴A própria natureza não mostra que um homem com cabelo comprido envergonha a si mesmo? ¹⁵No entanto, uma mulher com o cabelo comprido traz glória para si mesma, pois o cabelo lhe é dado como uma proteção. ¹⁶Mas, se alguém quiser discutir a respeito disso, nós e nem qualquer das outras igrejas de Deus temos outro costume além desse.

NBV-P ¹Sigam o meu exemplo, como eu sigo o de Cristo. ²Estou muito contente, amados irmãos, porque vocês têm-se lembrado de mim e têm feito tudo quanto eu lhes ensinei. ³Entretanto, há um assunto acerca do qual quero lembrá-los: Que Cristo tem autoridade sobre todo o marido, que o marido tem autoridade sobre a esposa e que Deus tem autoridade sobre Cristo. ⁴Se um homem recusar-se a descobrir a sua cabeça enquanto está orando ou profetizando, desrespeita a sua cabeça. ⁵Se uma mulher que ora ou profetiza publicamente sem que sua cabeça esteja coberta, desrespeita a sua cabeça. Nesse caso, não há diferença entre ela e a mulher que está com a cabeça rapada. ⁶Se ela se recusa a cobrir a cabeça, neste caso ela também deve rapar o cabelo. E se é vergonhoso para uma mulher ter a cabeça rapada, então deve cobri-la. ⁷Um homem, porém, não deve cobrir a cabeça, porque ele é a imagem e glória de Deus, e a glória do homem é a mulher. ⁸O homem não veio da mulher, e sim a mulher veio do homem. ⁹O homem não foi feito por causa da mulher, e sim a mulher por causa do homem. ¹⁰Assim, por causa dos anjos, uma mulher deve cobrir a cabeça como sinal de que está sob autoridade. ¹¹Lembrem-se, porém, que no plano do Senhor o homem e a mulher precisam um do outro. Eles não são independentes. ¹²Pois assim como a mulher veio do homem, também o homem nasce da mulher, e tanto os homens como as mulheres vêm de Deus, seu Criador. ¹³Julguem entre vocês mesmos: Está certo uma mulher orar em público sem cobrir a cabeça? ¹⁴O próprio instinto não nos ensina que é uma desonra para o homem ter o cabelo comprido? ¹⁵Mas as mulheres sentem orgulho do seu cabelo comprido. Pois o cabelo comprido lhe foi dado como véu. ¹⁶Entretanto, se alguém deseja questionar a esse respeito, tudo o que posso dizer é que nunca ensinamos mais do que isso a esse respeito. E todas as igrejas de Deus pensam da mesma maneira.

TfTP ¹Procurem agir como eu, assim como eu procuro agir como Cristo. ²Eu elogio vocês porque se lembram de todas as coisas que eu lhes ensinei, e porque seguem, exatamente como mandei, as instruções que dei a vocês. ³Ora, eu quero que vocês saibam que é Cristo que tem autoridade sobre [MTY] todo homem, e são os homens (OU, os maridos) que têm autoridade sobre as mulheres, e é Deus que tem autoridade sobre Cristo. ⁴Por isso, se um homem cobre a cabeça quando ora ou comunica uma mensagem que Deus lhe deu, ele se desonra [SYN]. ⁵Também, se uma mulher deixa de cobrir a cabeça quando ora ou comunica uma mensagem que Deus lhe deu, ela se desonra. Tal prática equivale a comportar-se como [SIM] as mulheres que se envergonham por terem a cabeça rapada {por causa de alguém rapar-lhes a cabeça}. ⁶Por isso, se as mulheres não cobrem a cabeça ao orarem ou comunicarem mensagens que Deus lhes deu, devem deixar alguém rapar-lhes a cabeça para elas ficarem com vergonha. Mas, já que as mulheres se envergonham quando alguém lhes corta o cabelo com navalha ou lhes rapa a cabeça, elas devem cobrir a cabeça quando oram ou comunicam mensagens que Deus lhes deu. ⁷Os homens não devem cobrir a cabeça quando oram ou comunicam mensagens que Deus lhes deu, pois eles representam a feição de Deus [MET], e mostram o quão grande Deus é. Mas as mulheres mostram quão grandes são os homens (OU, seus maridos). ⁸Lembrem-se que Deus determina que os homens tenham autoridade sobre as mulheres, pois Deus não criou o primeiro homem, Adão, da primeira mulher, Eva. Pelo contrário, Ele fez aquela mulher de um osso tirado do homem. ⁹Também, o primeiro homem não foi criado {Deus não criou o primeiro homem} para ajudar a mulher. Pelo contrário, a mulher foi criada {Ele criou a mulher} para ajudar o homem. ¹⁰Por essa razão, as mulheres devem usar algo para cobrir a cabeça, algo que simbolize o fato delas estarem debaixo da autoridade do marido [MTY]. Elas também devem proceder assim para que os anjos as observem e se alegrem. ^11–12Contudo, lembrem-se de que Deus criou a primeira mulher do primeiro homem, mas agora são os homens que nascem das mulheres. Portanto, os homens não podem ficar independentes das mulheres, nem as mulheres dos homens. Mas todas as coisas, inclusive os homens e as mulheres, têm sua origem em Deus. ¹³Pensem bem nisso: Convém [RHQ] as mulheres orarem a Deus sem algo para cobrir a cabeça? ¹⁴Vocês sabem / Será que vocês não sabem [RHQ], naturalmente, que o cabelo comprido desonra os homens.? ¹⁵Porém, é agradável que as mulheres tenham o cabelo comprido, pois o cabelo comprido lhes foi dado por Deus {Deus lhes deu o cabelo comprido} para servir de cobertura para a cabeça. ¹⁶Mas se alguém quiser debater comigo sobre esta afirmação, de que as mulheres devem cobrir a cabeça quando oram ou comunicam alguma mensagem de Deus, ele deve se lembrar de que nós, apóstolos, não autorizamos outro costume, e as demais congregações de Deus não têm outro costume.

VFL ¹Sigam o meu exemplo, assim como eu sigo o exemplo de Cristo. ²Eu os elogio porque vocês se lembram de mim em tudo e seguem todos os ensinamentos que eu lhes dei. ³Mas quero que vocês entendam que Cristo é o cabeça sobre todo homem, e o homem é o cabeça sobre a mulher, e Deus é o cabeça sobre Cristo. ⁴Todo homem que ora ou profetiza com a sua cabeça coberta, envergonha aquele que é o cabeça sobre ele. ⁵Toda mulher que ora ou profetiza, com a cabeça sem véu, envergonha aquele que é o cabeça sobre ela, pois é como a mulher que tem sua cabeça rapada. ⁶Portanto, se a mulher não usa véu, é como se tivesse a sua cabeça rapada. Mas desde que é uma vergonha para a mulher cortar todo o seu cabelo, ou rapar sua cabeça, ela deve usar o véu. ⁷O homem não deve cobrir a cabeça, porque ele é a imagem de Deus e a glória de Deus. Mas a mulher é a glória do homem. ⁸Pois o homem não foi feito da mulher, mas a mulher, feita do homem. ⁹E o homem não foi criado por causa da mulher, mas a mulher foi criada por causa do homem. ¹⁰Portanto, a mulher deve trazer um véu na cabeça para mostrar que ela está debaixo de autoridade, e também por causa dos anjos. ¹¹No Senhor, porém, nem a mulher é independente do homem, e nem o homem é independente da mulher. ¹²Porque como a mulher foi feita do homem, assim também o homem nasce da mulher. E tudo vem de Deus. ¹³Julguem vocês mesmos: É certo uma mulher orar a Deus sem ter o véu na cabeça? ¹⁴Até a própria natureza ensina que é uma vergonha para o homem ter cabelo comprido. ¹⁵Mas para a mulher, o cabelo comprido é uma glória, pois o seu cabelo lhe foi dado para cobrir a cabeça. ¹⁶Algumas pessoas talvez queiram discutir sobre o que eu acabei de dizer. Mas o costume que nós e as outras igrejas de Deus seguimos é o seguinte: as mulheres podem orar ou profetizar as mensagens vindas de Deus desde que estejam com as suas cabeças cobertas.

FBV ¹You should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ. ²I'm grateful that you always remember me and that you are keeping to the teachings just as I passed them on to you. ³I do want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, the man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of Christ. ⁴A man's head is dishonored if he prays or prophesies with his head covered. ⁵A woman's head is dishonored if she prays or prophesies with her head uncovered—it's just as if she had her hair shaved off. ⁶If a woman's head is not covered, then she should have her head shaved. If it's scandalous for a woman to be shorn or shaven, then she should have her head covered. ⁷A man shouldn't cover his head, because he is the image and glory of God, while the woman is the glory of the man. ⁸Man didn't come from woman, but woman came from man; ⁹and man was not created for the woman, but the woman was created for the man. ¹⁰That's why the woman should have this sign of authority on her head out of respect for the watching angels. ¹¹Even so, from the Lord's perspective, the woman is as essential as the man, and the man as essential as the woman. ¹²As the woman came from the man, so the man comes from the woman—but more importantly everything comes from God. ¹³Judge for yourselves: is it appropriate for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? ¹⁴Doesn't nature itself indicate that a man with long hair disgraces himself? ¹⁵However, a woman with long hair brings herself glory, because her hair is given to her as a covering. ¹⁶But if anyone wants to argue about this, we don't have any other custom than this, and neither do any other of God's churches.

GNV ¹Be yee followers of mee, euen as I am of Christ. ²Now brethren, I commend you, that ye remember all my things, and keepe the ordinances, as I deliuered them to you. ³But I wil that ye know, that Christ is the head of euery man: and the man is the womans head: and God is Christs head. ⁴Euery man praying or prophecying hauing any thing on his head, dishonoureth his head. ⁵But euery woman that prayeth or prophecieth bare headed, dishonoureth her head: for it is euen one very thing, as though she were shauen. ⁶Therefore if the woman be not couered, let her also be shorne: and if it be shame for a woman to be shorne or shauen, let her be couered. ⁷For a man ought not to couer his head: for as much as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. ⁸For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man. ⁹For the man was not created for the womans sake: but the woman for the mans sake. ¹⁰Therefore ought the woman to haue power on her head, because of the Angels. ¹¹Neuertheles, neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man in the Lord. ¹²For as the woman is of the man, so is the man also by the woman: but all things are of God. ¹³Iudge in your selues, Is it comely that a woman pray vnto God vncouered? ¹⁴Doeth not nature it selfe teach you, that if a man haue long heare, it is a shame vnto him? ¹⁵But if a woman haue long heare, it is a prayse vnto her: for her heare is giuen her for a couering. ¹⁶But if any man lust to be contentious, we haue no such custome, neither the Churches of God.

MSB ¹You are to imitate me, just as I imitate Christ. ²Now I commend you, brothers, for remembering me in everything and for maintaining the traditions, just as I passed them on to you. ³But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. ⁴Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. ⁵And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for it is just as if her head were shaved. ⁶If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off. And if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head. ⁷A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. ⁸For man did not come from woman, but woman from man. ⁹Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. ¹⁰For this reason a woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels. ¹¹In the Lord, however, man is not independent of woman, nor is woman independent of man. ¹²For just as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman.

NMV ¹Be you2f followers of me, even as I also [am] of Moshiach [Messiah]. ²Now I praise you, brethren, that you2f remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered [them] to you. ³But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Moshiach [Messiah]; and the head of the woman [is] the man; and the head of Moshiach [Messiah] [is] God-The Father. ⁴Every man praying or prophesying, having [his] head covered, dishonours his head. ⁵But every woman that prays or prophesies with [her] head uncovered dishonours her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. ⁶For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. ⁷For a man indeed ought not to cover [his] head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God-The Father: but the woman is the glory of the man. ⁸For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. ⁹Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. ¹⁰For this cause ought the woman to have power on [her] head because of the angels. ¹¹Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord - Kurios. ¹²For as the woman [is] of the man, even so [is] the man also by the woman; but all things of God-The Father. ¹³Judge in yourselves: is it comely (attractive; proper (one’s own; peculiar; particular); becoming) that a woman pray unto God-The Father uncovered? ¹⁴Does not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? ¹⁵But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for [her] hair is given her for a covering. ¹⁶But if any man seem to be contentious (loving to quarrel and angrily debate), we have no such custom, neither the churches of God-The Father.

OJB ¹Become imitators of me as I also am an imitator of Moshiach. ²Now, I commend you that in all things you have remembered me and you hold fast to the masoret torat haShlichim just as I transmitted and handed them over to you. ³But I want you to have da'as that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach is the rosh (head) of every one of the Bnei Adam, and the rosh of an isha is the ben Adam (Man, Ba'al), and the rosh of Moshiach is Hashem. ⁴Every ben Adam davening or speaking forth a nevu'ah (prophecy) having anything hanging down over his rosh brings bushah (shame) upon his rosh. ⁵But every isha davening or speaking forth a nevu'ah (prophecy) in shul, begile rosh (with head uncovered), brings bushah (shame) upon her rosh, for it is one and the same thing to uncover the rosh as it is for the rosh of the isha having been shaved. ⁶For, if an isha is not covered, also let her be shorn. But als (since) it is in fact a thing of bushah (shame) for an isha to be shorn or to be shaved, let her be covered. ⁷For a ben Adam indeed ought not to be covered on the rosh, being the demut HASHEM and the kavod Hashem, and the Isha being the kavod (glory), the glorious reflection of Adam. ⁸For Adam is not out of the Isha but Isha out of Adam (Man). ⁹Indeed, Adam was not created because of the Isha, but the Isha because of Adam (Man). ¹⁰Because of this, the Isha ought to have a kesut rosh (head covering) of marut (authority, discipline) on her rosh because of the malachim. ¹¹However, neither is Isha without Adam (Man) nor Adam (Man) without Isha in Hashem. ¹²For just as the Isha comes out of Adam (Man), so also the ben Adam (Man) comes through the Isha but all things are of Hashem. ¹³You yourselves be the dayan (judge): is it fitting for an isha to offer tefillos to Hashem begile rosh (with head uncovered)? ¹⁴Does not teva (nature) itself give you the shiur (lesson) that if a ben Adam wears a long hair-do of a ladyʼs coiffure, it is a dishonor to him? ¹⁵But if an isha wears a long hairdo of a ladyʼs coiffure, it is her kavod? Because the long hair has been given to her instead of the sterntichel (kerchief) or kesut rosh (head covering). ¹⁶But if anyone presumes in his thinking to be contentious, we have no such minhag, nor do the kehillot of Hashem.

T4T ¹Follow my example, just like I try to follow Christ’s example. ²I praise you because you remember all the things that I taught you and because you follow the instructions that I gave you. You have done just like I told you to do. ³Now, I want you to know that the one who has authority over [MTY] every man is Christ, and the ones who have authority over women are men (OR, their husbands), and the one who has authority over Christ is God. ⁴So if any man wears a covering over his head when he prays or speaks a message God gave him, he disgraces himself [SYN]. ⁵Also, if any woman does not wear a covering over her head when she prays or speaks a message that God gave her, she disgraces herself (OR, she dishonors her husband). That would be acting like [SIM] women who are ashamed because their heads have been shaved. ⁶So, 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. ⁷Men should not wear coverings over their heads when they pray or speak messages that God gave them, because they represent what God is like [MET] and they show how great God is. But women show how great men (OR, their husbands) are. ⁸Remember that God intends that men have authority over women. We know that because God did not make the first man, Adam, from the first woman, Eve. Instead, he made that woman from a bone that he took from the man. ⁹Also, God did not create the first man to help the woman. Instead, he created the woman to help the man. ¹⁰For that reason, women should wear something to cover their heads as a symbol of their being under their husbands’ [MTY] authority. They should also cover their heads so that the angels will see that and rejoice. ^11–12However, remember that even though God created the first woman from the first man, all other men have been born from women. So men cannot be independent of women, nor can women be independent of men. But all things, including men and women, come from God. ¹³Consider this for yourselves: Is it proper for [RHQ] women to pray to God while they do not have coverings over their heads? ¹⁴◄Everyone senses that it is disgraceful for men to have long hair./Doesn’t everyone sense that it is disgraceful for men to have long hair?► [RHQ] ¹⁵But it is very delightful if women have long hair, because God gave them long hair to be like a beautiful covering for their heads. ¹⁶But whoever wants to argue with me about my saying that women should have a covering over their heads when they pray or speak a message from God should consider the fact that we apostles do not permit any other custom, and the other congregations of God do not have any other custom.
