mnt - 1Corinthians:11:2-16

mnt@1Corinthians:11:2 @ Indeed I praise you for remembering me in everything, and because you are holding fast to the traditions just as you received them.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:3 @ But I wish you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and of a wife her husband is head; and that God is head of Christ.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:4 @ Every man who prays or prophesies with head veiled dishonors his Head;

mnt@1Corinthians:11:5 @ but every woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head (her husband). for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:6 @ If a woman does not wear a veil, let her also cut off her hair; now if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her be veiled.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:7 @ A man, indeed, ought not to have his head veiled, for he is an image and glory of God; but woman is a glory of man.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:8 @ For it is not man who was made from woman, but woman was made from man.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:9 @ And man was not created for woman, but woman for man.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:10 @ For this reason the woman ought to have authority over her head, because of her guardian angels.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:11 @ However, in the Lord neither is woman independent of man, nor is man independent of woman;

mnt@1Corinthians:11:12 @ for just as the woman was made from the man, so also is the man born of the woman, while they both come from God.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:13 @ Judge of this for your own selves. It is fitting that a woman should pray to God with her head unveiled.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:14 @ Nor does nature itself teach you that it is a disgrace to a man to have long hair,

mnt@1Corinthians:11:15 @ but it is womans glory, because her hair has been given her instead of a veil.

mnt@1Corinthians:11:16 @ If, however, any one is inclined to be disputatious regarding such a custom, let him know that neither I nor the churches of God hold to such a custom.
