1Corinthians:11:2-16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now I praise you ,
brethren ,
that ye remember me in all things ,
and keep the ordinances ,
as I delivered them to you .
*
But I would have you know ,
that the head of every man is Christ ;
and the head of the woman is the man ;
and the head of Christ is God .
*
Every man praying or prophesying ,
having his head covered ,
dishonoureth his head .
*
But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head :
for that is even all one as if she were shaven .
*
For if the woman be not covered ,
let her also be shorn :
but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven ,
let her be covered .
*
For a man indeed ought not to cover his head ,
forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God :
but the woman is the glory of the man .
*
For the man is not of the woman ;
but the woman of the man .
*
Neither was the man created for the woman ;
but the woman for the man .
*
For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels .
*
Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman ,
neither the woman without the man ,
in the Lord .
*
For as the woman is of the man ,
even so is the man also by the woman ;
but all things of God .
*
Judge in yourselves :
is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered ?
*
Doth not even nature itself teach you ,
that ,
if a man have long hair ,
it is a shame unto him ?
*
But if a woman have long hair ,
it is a glory to her :
for her hair is given her for a covering .
*
But if any man seem to be contentious ,
we have no such custom ,
neither the churches of God .
