1 Corinthians 11 📜 📕 ↷

2 And I praise you brethren, that in all things you be mindful of me: and as I have delivered unto you, you keep my precepts.📜💬📚

3 And I will 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 with his head covered, dishonoureth his head.📜💬📚

5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered, dishonoureth her head: for it is all one as if she were made bald.📜💬📚

6 For if a woman be not covered, let her be polled. But if it be a foul thing for a woman to be polled or made bald, let her cover her head.📜💬📚

7 The man truly ought not to cover his head, because 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 the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man.📜💬📚

10 (Therefore ought the woman to have power upon her head for the Angels.)📜💬📚

11 But yet neither the man without the woman; nor the woman without the man, in our Lord.📜💬📚

12 For as the woman is of the man, so also the man by the woman: but all things of God.📜💬📚

13 Your selves judge: doth it become a woman not covered to pray unto God?📜💬📚

14 Neither doth nature itself teach you, that a man indeed if he nourish his hair, it is an ignominy for him:📜💬📚

15 but if a woman nourish her hair, it is a glory for her, because hair is given her for a veil?📜💬📚
