1 Corinthians 11:2–16

²And I praise you, brethren, that in all things ye remember me, and according as I did deliver to you, the deliverances ye keep, ³and I wish you to know that of every man the head is the Christ, and the head of a woman is the husband, and the head of Christ is God. ⁴Every man praying or prophesying, having the head covered, doth dishonour his head, ⁵and every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered, doth dishonour her own head, for it is one and the same thing with her being shaven, ⁶for if a woman is not covered—then let her be shorn, and if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven—let her be covered; ⁷for a man, indeed, ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God, and a woman is the glory of a man, ⁸for a man is not of a woman, but a woman is of a man, ⁹for a man also was not created because of the woman, but a woman because of the man; ¹⁰because of this the woman ought to have a token of authority upon the head, because of the messengers; ¹¹but neither is a man apart from a woman, nor a woman apart from a man, in the Lord, ¹²for as the woman is of the man, so also the man is through the woman, and the all things are of God. ¹³In your own selves judge ye; is it seemly for a woman uncovered to pray to God? ¹⁴doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man indeed have long hair, a dishonour it is to him? ¹⁵and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her; ¹⁶and if any one doth think to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the assemblies of God.
