1 Corinthians 11:1-9 ▼

1 Imitate me, as I also imitate Christ.

2 Now I praise you because you always remember me and keep 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 But 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 So if a woman’s head is 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.

7 A man, in fact, should not cover his head, because he is God’s image and glory, but woman is man’s glory.

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

9 And man was not created for woman, but woman for man.
