1 Corinthians 11:2-10
New Matthew Bible
He rebukes them for abuse and for disorder concerning the sacrament of the body and blood of Christ, and brings them again to the first institution.
2 I commend you, brethren, that you remember me in all things, and keep the observances even as I delivered them to you.
3 I would that you understood that Christ is the head of every man. And the man is the woman’s head. And God is Christ’s head. 4 Every man praying or prophesying, having anything on his head, dishonours his head. 5 Every woman who prays or prophesies bare-headed dishonours her head, for it is one and the very same thing as if she were shaven. 6 If the woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. If it is dishonourable for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her cover her head.
7 A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God. The woman is the glory of the man, 8 for the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man. 9 Neither was the man created for the woman’s sake, but the woman for the man’s sake. 10 For this reason, the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head – for the angels’ sakes.
