1 Corinthians 11:3-10

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.

7A man ought not have his head covered [during worship], since he is the image and [reflected] glory of God; but the woman is [the expression of] man’s glory.

8For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man;

9for indeed man was not created for the sake of woman, but woman for the sake of man.

10Therefore the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, for the sake of the angels [so as not to offend them].
