1 Corinthians 11:5-10

5But everyG3956 1womanG1135 who has her headG2776 uncoveredG177 while prayingG4336 orG2228 prophesyingG4395 disgracesG2617 her headG2776, for she is oneG1520 and the sameG846 as the womanG1135 2whose head is 3shavedG3587.

6For ifG1487 a womanG1135 does not coverG2619 4her head, let her alsoG2532 5have her hairG2751 cutG2751 offG2751; but ifG1487 it is disgracefulG150 for a womanG1135 to 6have her hairG2751 cutG2751 offG2751 orG2228 7her head shavedG3587, let her coverG2619 8her head.

7For a manG435 oughtG3784 not to have his headG2776 coveredG2619, since he is the 9imageG1504 and gloryG1391 of GodG2316; but the womanG1135 is the gloryG1391 of manG435.

8For 10manG435 11does not originateG1510 from womanG1135, but womanG1135 from manG435;

9for indeedG2532 manG435 was not createdG2936 for the woman’sG1135 sakeG1223, but 12womanG1135 for the man’sG435 sakeG1223.

10ThereforeG1223G3778 the womanG1135 oughtG3784 to haveG2192 a symbol of authorityG1849 on her headG2776, becauseG1223 of the angelsG32.
