1 Corinthians 11:4

Any man who keeps his head covered, when praying or preaching in public, dishonors him who is his Head;

1 Corinthians 11:5

While any woman, who prays or preaches in public bare-headed, dishonors him who is her Head; for that is to make herself like one of the shameless women who shave their heads.

1 Corinthians 11:6

1 Corinthians 11:10

And, therefore, a woman ought to wear on her head a symbol of her subjection, because of the presence of the angels.

1 Corinthians 11:11

1 Corinthians 11:12

For just as woman came from man, so man comes by means of woman; and all things come from God.

1 Corinthians 11:13

Judge for yourselves. Is it fitting that a woman should pray to God in public with her head uncovered?

1 Corinthians 11:14

1 Corinthians 11:15

A woman's long hair is her glory? Her hair has been given her to serve as a covering.

1 Corinthians 11:16

If, however, any one still thinks it right to contest the point-well, we have no such custom, nor have the Churches of God.

1 Corinthians 11:17

1 Corinthians 11:22

1 Corinthians 11:28

Let each man look into his own heart, and only then eat of the bread and drink from the cup.
