New International Version

1 Corinthians 11:5-11 New International Version (NIV)

5. But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved.

6. For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.

7. A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.

8. For man did not come from woman, but woman from man;

9. neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.

10. It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels.

11. Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.
