1 Corinthians 11:7-16

7A man should not cover his head, because he is the image and glory of God. So too, woman is the glory of man.

8For man did not come from woman, but woman came from man.

9Neither was man created for the sake of woman, but woman for the sake of man.

10This is why a woman should have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

11In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, and man is not independent of woman.

12For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman, and all things come from God.

13Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

14Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair it is a disgrace to him,

15but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her as a covering.

16If anyone wants to argue about this, we have no other custom, nor do the churches of God.
