1 Corinthians 11:2-10

Revised Geneva Translation

² Now brothers, I praise you, that you remember all my things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.

³ But I would have you know that Christ is the head of every man. And the head of the woman, man. And the head of Christ, God.

⁴ Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered dishonors his head.

⁵ Every woman who prays or prophesies bareheaded dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven.

⁶ Therefore, if the woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. And if it is shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

⁷ For a man ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.

⁸ For the man is not from the woman, but the woman from the man.

⁹ For the man was not created for the woman’s sake, but the woman for the man’s sake.

¹⁰ Because of this ought the woman to have power upon her head, because of the angels.
