1 Corinthians 11:3-16

3But I want you to understand that 1Christ is the 2head of every man, and 3the man is the head of a woman, and God is the 4head of 5Christ. 4Every man who has something on his head while praying or 6prophesying disgraces his head. 5But every 7woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for she is one and the same as the woman 8whose head is 9shaved. 6For if a woman does not cover 10her head, let her also 11have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to 12have her hair cut off or 13her head shaved, let her cover 14her head. 7For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the 15image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. 8For 16man 17does not originate from woman, but woman from man; 9for indeed man was not created for the woman’s sake, but 18woman for the man’s sake. 10Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. 11However, in the Lord, neither is woman 19independent of man, nor is man 20independent of woman. 12For as the woman 21originates from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman; and 22all things 23originate 24from God. 1325Judge 26for 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 dishonor to him, 15but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her for a covering. 16But if one is inclined to be contentious, 27we have no 28other practice, nor have 29the churches of God.
