1 Corinthians 11:3–14

³But I want you to know that Christ is the head ^jof every man, and the man is the head of the woman, ^kland God is the head of Christ. ^m4Every man who prays or prophesies with something on his head dishonors ⁿhis head. ⁵But 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. ^o6So if a woman’s head ^pis not covered, her hair should be cut off. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, she should be covered.

⁷A man, in fact, should not cover his head, because he is God’s image ^qand glory, ^rbut woman is man’s glory. ⁸For man did not come from woman, but woman came from man. ^s9And man was not created for woman, but woman for man. ¹⁰This is why a woman should have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. ¹¹In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, and man is not independent of woman. ¹²For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman, and all things come from God. ^t

¹³Judge ^ufor yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? ¹⁴Does not even nature itself teach ^vyou that if a man has long hair it is a disgrace ^wto him,
