1 Corinthians 11:6-19 World English Bible (WEB)

6. For if a woman is not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or be shaved, let her be covered.

7. For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.

8. For man is not from woman, but woman from man;

9. for man wasn’t created for the woman, but woman for the man.

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

11. Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord.

12. For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.

13. Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?

14. Doesn’t even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?

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

16. But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God’s assemblies.

17. But in giving you this command, I don’t praise you, that you come together not for the better but for the worse.

18. For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist among you, and I partly believe it.

19. For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.
