1 Corinthians 11:1-9 ▼

1 Be ye the folowers of me, euen as I am of Christe.

2 I commende you brethren, that ye remember me in all thinges, and kepe the ordinaunces, as I deliuered them to you.

3 But I wyl that ye knowe, that Christ is the head of euery man. And the man is the womans head: And God is Christes head.

4 Euery man praying or prophesiyng, hauyng any thing on his head, shameth his head.

5 But euery woman that prayeth or prophesieth bare headed, dishonesteth her head: For that is euen all one as yf she were shauen.

6 Yf the woman be not couered, let her also be shorne. Yf it be a shame for a woman to be shorne or shauen, let her couer her head.

7 A man ought not to couer his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glorie of God: But the woman is the glorie of the man:

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

9 Neither was the man created for the womans sake: but the woman for the mans sake.
