1 Corinthians 11:2-10
Legacy Standard Bible
Head Coverings
2 Now (A)I praise you because you (B)remember me in everything and (C)hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you. 3 But I want you to understand that [a]Christ is the (D)head of every man, and (E)the man is the head of a woman, and God is the (F)head of [b]Christ. 4 Every man who has something on his head while praying or (G)prophesying, shames his head. 5 But every (H)woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying, shames her head, for she is one and the same as the woman [c]whose head is (I)shaved. 6 For if a woman does not cover [d]her head, let her also [e]have her hair cut short. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to [f]have her hair cut short or [g]her head shaved, let her cover [h]her head. 7 For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the (J)image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of man. 8 For (K)man [i]does not originate from woman, but woman from man. 9 For indeed man was not created for the woman’s sake, but (L)woman for the man’s sake. 10 Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

Concerning Head Coverings at Worship
2 I praise you, brothers,[a] for remembering me in all things and holding firmly to the teachings[b] as I delivered them to you. 3 However, I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and man is woman’s head, and God is Christ’s head. 4 Every man who prays or prophesies with a covering hanging down from his head dishonors his head. 5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for it is one and the same thing as being a woman with a shaved head. 6 Indeed, if a woman does not wear a head covering, she should cut off her hair too. But if it is shameful for a woman to cut off her hair or shave her head, she should wear a head covering.
7 For a man ought not to wear a head covering, because he is the image and glory of God, but woman is man’s glory. 8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man, 9 and man was not created for the woman, but woman for the man. 10 For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head,[c] because of the angels.
