1 Corinthians 11:1-9 ▼

1 Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.

2 I praise you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions just as I passed them on to you.

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

4 Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered disgraces his head.

5 But any woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered disgraces her head, for it is one and the same thing as having a shaved head.

6 For if a woman will not cover her head, she should cut off her hair. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, she should cover her head.

7 For a man should not have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.

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

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