1 Corinthians 11:1-9 ▼

1 Imitate me, as I also imitate Christ.

2 Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold fast to the traditions just as I delivered them to you.

3 But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of Christ.

4 Every man who prays or prophesies with something on his head dishonors his head.

5 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.

6 For if a woman doesn’t cover her head, she should have her hair cut off. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her head be covered.

7 A man should not cover his head, because he is the image and glory of God. So too, woman is the glory of man.

8 For man did not come from woman, but woman came from man.

9 Neither was man created for the sake of woman, but woman for the sake of man.
