1 Corinthians 11

¹Be ye imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.

²Now I praise you that ye remember me in all things, and hold fast the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.

³But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

⁴Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoreth his head.

⁵But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonoreth her head; for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven.

⁶For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.

⁷For a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

⁸For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man:

⁹for neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man:

¹⁰for this cause ought the woman to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.

¹¹Nevertheless, neither is the woman without the man, nor the man without the woman, in the Lord.

¹²For as the woman is of the man, so is the man also by the woman; but all things are of God.

¹³Judge ye in yourselves: is it seemly that a woman pray unto God unveiled?
