rsv - 1Corinthians:11:2-16

rsv@1Corinthians:11:2 @ I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:3 @ But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:4 @ Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head,

rsv@1Corinthians:11:5 @ but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head--it is the same as if her head were shaven.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:6 @ For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her wear a veil.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:7 @ For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:8 @ (For man was not made from woman, but woman from man.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:9 @ Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.)

rsv@1Corinthians:11:10 @ That is why a woman ought to have a veil on her head, because of the angels.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:11 @ (Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman;

rsv@1Corinthians:11:12 @ for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God.)

rsv@1Corinthians:11:13 @ Judge for yourselves; is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

rsv@1Corinthians:11:14 @ Does not nature itself teach you that for a man to wear long hair is degrading to him,

rsv@1Corinthians:11:15 @ but if a woman has long hair, it is her pride? For her hair is given to her for a covering.

rsv@1Corinthians:11:16 @ If any one is disposed to be contentious, we recognize no other practice, nor do the churches of God.
