1 Corinthians 11:2-10
New King James Version
Head Coverings
2 Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you. 3 But I want you to know that (A)the head of every man is Christ, (B)the head of woman is man, and (C)the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man praying or (D)prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head. 5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were (E)shaved. 6 For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is (F)shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered. 7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since (G)he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. 8 For man is not from woman, but woman (H)from man. 9 Nor was man created for the woman, but woman (I)for the man. 10 For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

1 Corinthians 11:2-10
American Standard Version
2 Now I praise you that ye remember me in all things, and hold fast the traditions, even as I delivered them to you. 3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoreth his head. 5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonoreth her head; for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven. 6 For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled. 7 For a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. 8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man: 9 for neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man: 10 for this cause ought the woman to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.
