1 Corinthians 11:2-16

2NowG1161 I praiseG1867 you that ye rememberG3403 me in all thingsG3956, and holdG2722 fastG2722 the traditionsG3862, evenG2532 as I deliveredG3860 them to you. 3But I would have you know, that the headG2776 of every manG435 isG1510 ChristG5547; and the headG2776 of the womanG1135 isG1510 the manG435; and the headG2776 of ChristG5547 isG1510 GodG2316. 4Every manG435 prayingG4336 or prophesyingG4395, having his headG2776 covered, dishonoreth his headG2776. 5But every womanG1135 prayingG4336 or prophesyingG4395 with her headG2776 unveiled dishonoreth her headG2776; for it isG1510 oneG1520 and the sameG846 thingG1520 as if she wereG1510 shaven. 6For if a womanG1135 is not veiled, let her alsoG2532 be shorn: but if it is a shame to a womanG1135 to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled. 7For a manG435 indeed oughtG3784 not to have his headG2776 veiled, forasmuch as he isG1510 the imageG1504 and gloryG1391 of GodG2316: but the womanG1135 isG1510 the gloryG1391 of the manG435. 8For the manG435 isG1510 not of the womanG1135; but the womanG1135 of the manG435: 9for neither was the manG435 created for the womanG1135; but the womanG1135 for the manG435: 10for this cause oughtG3784 the womanG1135 to have a sign of authorityG1849 on her headG2776, because of the angelsG32. 11NeverthelessG4133, neither is the womanG1135 without the manG435, nor the manG435 without the womanG1135, in the LordG2962. 12For as the womanG1135 is of the manG435, so is the manG435 alsoG2532 by the womanG1135; but all thingsG3956 are of GodG2316. 13JudgeG2919 ye in yourselves: isG1510 it seemly that a womanG1135 prayG4336 unto GodG2316 unveiled? 14Doth not evenG3761 natureG5449 itself teachG1321 you, that, if a manG435 have longG2863 hairG2863, it isG1510 a dishonorG819 to him? 15But if a womanG1135 have longG2863 hairG2863, it isG1510 a gloryG1391 to her: for her hairG2863 isG1510 givenG1325 her for a covering. 16But if any man seemeth to beG1510 contentious, we have no suchG5108 customG4914, neither the churchesG1577 of GodG2316.
