wmth - 1Corinthians:11:2-16

wmth@1Corinthians:11:2 @ Now I commend you for remembering me in everything, and because you hold fast truths and practices precisely as I have taught them to you.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:3 @ I would have you know, however, that of every man, Christ is the Head, that of a woman her husband is the Head, and that God is Christ's Head.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:4 @ A man who wears a veil when praying or prophesying dishonors his Head;

wmth@1Corinthians:11:5 @ but a woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her Head, for it is exactly the same as if she had her hair cut short.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:6 @ If a woman will not wear a veil, let her also cut off her hair. But since it is a dishonor to a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her wear a veil.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:7 @ For a man ought not to have a veil on his head, since he is the image and glory of God; while woman is the glory of man.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:8 @ Man does not take his origin from woman, but woman takes hers from man.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:9 @ For man was not created for woman's sake, but woman for man's.

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

wmth@1Corinthians:11:11 @ Yet, in the Lord, woman is not independent of man nor man independent of woman.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:12 @ For just as woman originates from man, so also man comes into existence through woman, but everything springs originally from God.

wmth@1Corinthians:11:13 @ Judge of this for your own selves: is it seemly for a woman to pray to God when she is unveiled?

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

wmth@1Corinthians:11:15 @ but that if a woman has long hair it is her glory, because her hair was given her for a covering?

wmth@1Corinthians:11:16 @ But if any one is inclined to be contentious on the point, we have no such custom, nor have the Churches of God.
