1 Corinthians 11:3

Head Coverings

2 Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you.

3 But I want you to know that ^athe head of every man is Christ, ^bthe head of woman is man, and the ^chead of Christ is God.

4 Every man praying or ^aprophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.

5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were ^ashaved.

6 For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is ^ashameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.

7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since ^ahe is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.
