1 Corinthians 11:5-10

5But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved.

6For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.

7For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.

8For man is not from woman, but woman from man.

9Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.

10For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.
