King James 2000

1 Corinthians 11:7-19 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

7. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

8. For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.

9. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

10. For this cause ought the woman to have authority on her head because of the angels.

11. Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

12. For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things are of God.

13. Judge for yourselves: is it proper that a woman pray unto God uncovered?

14. Does not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man has long hair, it is a shame unto him?

15. But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

16. But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

17. Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that you come together not for the better, but for the worse.

18. For first of all, when you come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

19. For there must be also heresies among you, that they who are approved may be made manifest among you.
