New International Version

1 Corinthians 11:7-14 New International Version (NIV)

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.

12. For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.

13. Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
