1 Corinthians 11:1-16 - Concerning Head Coverings In Worship
1 Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
2 Now, I praise you, brethren, because you remember me in all things, and keep the traditions as I delivered them to you. 3 But I wish you to know, that the head of every man is the Christ, and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man that prays or prophesies, having his head covered, dishonors his head. 5 But every woman that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered, dishonors her head: for it is one and the same as if she was shaved. 6 For if a woman has no vail on, let her also be shaved. But if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her have a vail.
7 For a man ought not to vail his head, because 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 for the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man. 10 For this reason ought the woman to have a token of subjection on her head, on account of the angels. 11 But neither is the woman without the man, nor the: man without the woman, in the Lord. 12 For as the woman is of the man, so also is the man by the woman; but all things are of God.
13 Judge in yourselves, whether it is becoming that a woman pray to God unvailed. 14 Does not 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 vail. 16 But if any one seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor have the churches of God.
