1 Corinthians 11:2–16

²Now ^bI praise you, brethren, ^cthat you remember me in all things, and ^dkeep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you. ³But I would have you know, that ^ethe head of every man is Christ; and ^fthe head of the woman is the man; and ^gthe head of Christ is God. ⁴Every man praying or ^hprophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. ⁵But every woman that prayeth or ⁱprophesieth with her head uncovered ^kdishonoureth her head: for that is even all one ^las if she were shaven. ⁶For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be ^ma shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. ⁷For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the ⁿimage and ^oglory of God: but ^pthe woman is the ^oglory of the man. ⁸For the man is not of the woman; but ^qthe woman of the man. ⁹Neither was the man created for the woman; but ^rthe woman for the man. ¹⁰For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of ^sthe angels. ¹¹Nevertheless ^tneither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, ^uin the Lord. ¹²For as ^qthe woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but ^xall things of God. ^13yJudge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? ¹⁴Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? ¹⁵But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. ¹⁶But ^zif any man ^aseem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither ^bthe churches of God.
