1 Corinthians 11:11-16
New Living Translation
11 But among the Lord’s people, women are not independent of men, and men are not independent of women. 12 For although the first woman came from man, every other man was born from a woman, and everything comes from God.
13 Judge for yourselves. Is it right for a woman to pray to God in public without covering her head? 14 Isn’t it obvious that it’s disgraceful for a man to have long hair? 15 And isn’t long hair a woman’s pride and joy? For it has been given to her as a covering. 16 But if anyone wants to argue about this, I simply say that we have no other custom than this, and neither do God’s other churches.

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.
