1 Corinthians 11:3-15

3But I want you to understand that Christ is the 1head of every man, and 23the man is the head of a woman, and God is the 4head of Christ.

4Every man who has something on his head while praying or 5prophesying disgraces his head.

5But every 6woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for it is one and the same as the woman 7whose head is 8shaved.

6For if a woman does not cover 9her head, have her also 10cut her hair off; however, if it is disgraceful for a woman to 11have her hair cut off or 12her head shaved, have her cover 13her head.

7For a man should not have his head covered, since he is the 14image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

8For 15man 16does not originate from woman, but woman from man;

9for indeed man was not created for the woman’s sake, but 17woman for the man’s sake.

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

11However, in the Lord, neither is woman 18independent of man, nor is man 19independent of woman.

12For as the woman originated from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman; and 20all things originate 21from God.

1322Judge 23for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

14Does even nature itself not 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 as a covering.
