The Holy Bible, English Standard Version

1 Corinthians 11:7-12
<< 1 Corinthians 10 | 1 Corinthians 11 | 1 Corinthians 12 >>

For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man. For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. 10 That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. [1] 11 Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman; 12 for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God.
