1 Corinthians 11:2-16

2Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.1 3But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. 4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. 5But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaved. 6For if the woman is not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered. 7For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. 8For the man is not from the woman; but the woman from the man. 9Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. 10For this cause ought the woman to have authority on her head because of the angels.2 11Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. 12For as the woman is from the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things from God. 13Judge in yourselves: is it seemly that a woman should pray to God uncovered? 14Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man hath long hair, it is a shame to him? 15But if a woman hath long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.3 16But if any man seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
