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 it is one and the same as the woman 3whose head is 4shaved. 6For if a woman does not cover 5her head, have her also 6cut her hair off; however, if it is disgraceful for a woman to 7have her hair cut off or 8her head shaved, have her cover 9her head. 7For a man should not 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 should 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 originated from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman; and 16all things originate 17from God. 1318Judge 19for 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. 16But if anyone is inclined to be contentious, 20we have no 21such practice, nor have 22the churches of God.
