1 Corinthians 11:1-9 ▼

1 Become imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.

2 Now I praise you, that you remember me in all things, and hold fast the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.

3 But I wish you to know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the wife is the husband, and the head of Christ is God.

4 Every man, praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.

5 But every woman, praying or prophesying with her head unveiled, dishonors her head; for it is one and the same, as if she were shaven.

6 For, if a woman is unveiled, let her also be shaven; but, if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.

7 For a man, indeed, ought not to veil his head; being God's image and glory; but the woman is man's glory;

8 for man is not from woman, but woman from man;

9 for man was also not created on account of the woman, but woman on account of the man;
