1 Corinthians 11:11-16
English Standard Version
11 Nevertheless, (A)in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman; 12 for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And (B)all things are from God. 13 Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a wife to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for him, 15 but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering. 16 (C)If anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, nor do (D)the churches of God.

1 Corinthians 11:11-16
Holman Christian Standard Bible
11 In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, and man is not independent of woman. 12 For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman, and all things come from God.(A)
13 Judge(B) for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not even nature itself teach(C) you that if a man has long hair it is a disgrace(D) to him, 15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory?(E) For her hair is given to her[a] as a covering. 16 But if anyone wants to argue about this, we have no other[b] custom, nor do the churches of God.
