1 Corinthians 11:2–16

²Now I praise you, that in all things ye are mindful of me; and that as I have directed you, ye keep the directions. ³But I wish you to know that the Christ is the head of every man, but woman’s head is the man, and the Christ’s head God. ⁴Every man praying or prophesying, having anything on his head, puts his head to shame. ⁵But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered puts her own head to shame; for it is one and the same as a shaved woman. ⁶For if a woman be not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if it be shameful to a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, let her be covered. ⁷For man indeed ought not to have his head covered, being God’s image and glory; but woman is man’s glory. ⁸For man is not of woman, but woman of man. ⁹For also man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake of the man. ¹⁰Therefore ought the woman to have authority on her head, on account of the angels. ¹¹However, neither is woman without man, nor man without woman, in the Lord. ¹²For as the woman is of the man, so also is the man by the woman, but all things of God. ¹³Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman should pray to God uncovered? ¹⁴Does not even nature itself teach you, that man, if he have long hair, it is a dishonour to him? ¹⁵But woman, if she have long hair, it is glory to her; for the long hair is given to her in lieu of a veil. ¹⁶But if any one think to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the assemblies of God.
