Old/New Testament
11 1 Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.
Concerning The Wearing of Veils In Public: God Has Established Heads of Authority
2 Now I praise you because[a] you have remembered[b] me as to everything, and you are holding-on-to the traditions, just as I delivered to you. 3 And[c] I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man[d], and the husband is the head of a wife, and God is the head of Christ.
Do Not Shame Your Head By How You Dress
4 Every[e] man praying or prophesying while having a covering down over his head is shaming[f] his head[g]. 5 And every woman praying or prophesying with the head unveiled[h] is shaming her head, for she is one and the same[i] with the one having been shaved. 6 For if a woman is not veiling-herself , let her also[j] have-herself-sheared. But if it is shameful for a woman to have-herself-sheared or shaved, let her be veiling-herself. 7 For a man ought not to be veiling the head, being the image and glory of God— but the woman[k] is the glory of man. 8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man. 9 For indeed man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake[l] of the man. 10 For this reason, the woman ought to be having authority[m] on her head because of the angels[n]. 11 Nevertheless[o] there is neither woman without man, nor man without woman in the Lord. 12 For just as the woman is from the man, so also the man is through the woman. And all things are from God.
Judge Among Yourselves Whether It Is Fitting To Ignore The Customs of The Churches
13 Judge among[p] you yourselves— is it fitting[q] that an unveiled woman should pray to God? 14 Does not even nature[r] itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him— 15 but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? Because[s] the long hair has been given to her for[t] a covering[u]. 16 But if anyone seems[v] to be contentious, we do not have such a custom[w], nor do the churches of God.
