rsv 1Corinthians:11:2-16 SEEK

*
I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you .
*
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 .
*
Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head ,
*
but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head--it is the same as if her head were shaven .
*
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 .
*
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 .
* (
For man was not made from woman ,
but woman from man .
*
Neither was man created for woman ,
but woman for man .)
*
That is why a woman ought to have a veil on her head ,
because of the angels .
* (
Nevertheless ,
in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman ;
*
for as woman was made from man ,
so man is now born of woman .
And all things are from God .)
*
Judge for yourselves ;
is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered ?
*
Does not nature itself teach you that for a man to wear long hair is degrading to him ,
*
but if a woman has long hair ,
it is her pride ?
For her hair is given to her for a covering .
*
If any one is disposed to be contentious ,
we recognize no other practice ,
nor do the churches of God .
