1 Corinthians 11:10-16 Good News Bible (GNB)

10. On account of the angels, then, a woman should have a covering over her head to show that she is under her husband's authority.

11. In our life in the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.

12. For as woman was made from man, in the same way man is born of woman; and it is God who brings everything into existence.

13. Judge for yourselves whether it is proper for a woman to pray to God in public worship with nothing on her head.

14. Why, nature itself teaches you that long hair on a man is a disgrace,

15. but on a woman it is a thing of beauty. Her long hair has been given her to serve as a covering.

16. But if anyone wants to argue about it, all I have to say is that neither we nor the churches of God have any other custom in worship.
