1 Corinthians 11:4-16

4Every man who has something on his head while praying or 1prophesying disgraces his head. 5But every 2woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for she is one and the same as the woman 3whose head is 4shaved. 6For if a woman does not cover 5her head, let her also 6have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to 7have her hair cut off or 8her head shaved, let her cover 9her head. 7For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the 10image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. 8For 11man 12does not originate from woman, but woman from man; 9for indeed man was not created for the woman’s sake, but 13woman 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 14independent of man, nor is man 15independent of woman. 12For as the woman 16originates from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman; and 17all things 18originate 19from God. 1320Judge 21for 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, 22we have no 23other practice, nor have 24the churches of God.
