1 Corinthians 11:1-6

1Imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.

2I praise and appreciate you because you remember me in everything and you firmly hold to the traditions [the substance of my instructions], just as I have passed them on to you.

3But I want you to understand that Christ is the head (authority over) of every man, and man is the head of woman, and God is the head of Christ.

4Every man who prays or prophesies with something on his head dishonors his head [and the One who is his head].

5And every woman who prays or prophesies when she has her head uncovered disgraces her head; for she is one and the same as the woman whose head is shaved [in disgrace].

6If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, she should cover her head.
