riversident - 1Corinthians:11:2-16

riversident@1Corinthians:11:2 @ I praise you because you remember me in all things and hold firmly the traditions as I passed them on to you.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:3 @ I wish you to know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:4 @ Every man praying or prophesying with his head draped dishonors his head.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:5 @ But every woman praying or prophesying bareheaded dishonors her head. For it is one and the same as if she had her head shaved.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:6 @ For if a woman is not covered, then let her cut off her hair. But if it is a shame to a woman to cut off her hair or to shave, let her veil herself.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:7 @ For a man has no need to cover his head since he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of man.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:8 @ For man was not from woman, but woman from man,

riversident@1Corinthians:11:9 @ for man was not formed for woman, but woman for man.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:10 @ Therefore, the woman ought to have a badge of authority on her head because of the angels.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:11 @ Yet neither is woman without man nor man without woman in the Lord.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:12 @ For as woman is from man so is man through woman, but all things from God.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:13 @ Decide for yourselves: is it becoming for a woman to pray to God unveiled?

riversident@1Corinthians:11:14 @ Does not Nature herself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him,

riversident@1Corinthians:11:15 @ but that if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? Because the hair is given to her for a covering.

riversident@1Corinthians:11:16 @ But if any one cares to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor have the churches of God.
