1 Corinthians 11:7-10
Living Bible
1 Corinthians 11:7-10
Living Bible
7 But a man should not wear anything on his head when worshiping, for his hat is a sign of subjection to men.[a]
God’s glory is man made in his image, and man’s glory is the woman. 8 The first man didn’t come from woman, but the first woman came out of man.[b] 9 And Adam, the first man, was not made for Eve’s benefit, but Eve was made for Adam. 10 So a woman should wear a covering on her head as a sign that she is under man’s authority,[c] a fact for all the angels to notice and rejoice in.

1 Corinthians 11:7-10
New International Version
7 A man ought not to cover his head,[a] since he is the image(A) and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. 8 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man;(B) 9 neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.(C) 10 It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own[b] head, because of the angels.

- 1 Corinthians 11:7 Or 4 Every man who prays or prophesies with long hair dishonors his head. 5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with no covering of hair dishonors her head—she is just like one of the “shorn women.” 6 If a woman has no covering, let her be for now with short hair; but since it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair shorn or shaved, she should grow it again. 7 A man ought not to have long hair
- 1 Corinthians 11:10 Or have a sign of authority on her
