1 Corinthians 11:4-6
<< 1 Corinthians 10 | 1 Corinthians 11 | 1 Corinthians 12 >>
4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, 5 but every wife [1] who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since it is the same as if her head were shaven. 6 For if a wife will not cover her head, then she should cut her hair short. But since it is disgraceful for a wife to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her head.
