1 Corinthians 11:4-10
4
Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head,
5
but every wife who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as if her head were shaven.
6
For if a wife will not cover her head, then she should cut her hair short. But since it is disgraceful for a wife to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her head.
7
For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man.
8
For man was not made from woman, but woman from man.
9
Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.
10
That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.
