1 Corinthians 11:11

1 Corinthians 11:11

Compare all

9 Nor was man created for the woman, but woman ^afor the man.

10 For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

11 Nevertheless, ^aneither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord.

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

13 Judge among yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

14 Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
