1 Corinthians 11:2–6

INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT HEAD COVERINGS

2 Now I praise youD because you remember me in everything and hold fast to the traditionsc just as I deliveredd them to you. 3 But I want you to know that Christ is the heade of every man, and the man is the head of the woman,E,f and God is the head of Christ.g 4 Every man who prays or prophesies with something on his head dishonorsh his head. 5 Every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since that is one and the same as having her head shaved.i 6 For if a woman doesn’t cover her head, she should have her hair cut off. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her head be covered.
