1 Corinthians 11:3–14

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 with his head covered disgraceth his head.

⁵But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered disgraceth her head: for it is all one as if she were shaven.

⁶For if a woman be not covered, let her be shorn. But if it be a shame to a woman to be shorn or made bald, let her cover her head.

⁷The man indeed ought not to cover his head: because he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.

⁸For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.

⁹For the man was not created for the woman: but the woman for the man.

¹⁰Therefore ought the woman to have a power over her head, because of the angels.

¹¹But yet neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in the Lord.

¹²For as the woman is of the man, so also is the man by the woman: but all things of God.

¹³You yourselves judge. Doth it become a woman to pray unto God uncovered?

¹⁴Doth not even nature itself teach you that a man indeed, if he nourish his hair, it is a shame unto him?
