1 Corinthians 11:5-16

5But every 1woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for it is one and the same as the woman 2whose head is 3shaved. 6For if a woman does not cover 4her head, have her also 5cut her hair off; however, if it is disgraceful for a woman to 6have her hair cut off or 7her head shaved, have her cover 8her head. 7For a man should not have his head covered, since he is the 9image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. 8For 10man 11does not originate from woman, but woman from man; 9for indeed man was not created for the woman’s sake, but 12woman 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 13independent of man, nor is man 14independent of woman. 12For as the woman originated from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman; and 15all things originate 16from God. 1317Judge 18for 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, 19we have no 20such practice, nor have 21the churches of God.
