1 Corinthians 11:3-5
English Standard Version Anglicised

3 But I want you to understand that (A)the head of every man is Christ, (B)the head of a wife[a] is her husband, and (C)the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonours his head, 5 but every wife[b] who prays or (D)prophesies (E)with her head uncovered dishonours her head, since it is the same (F)as if her head were shaven.
