1 Corinthians 11:4-15

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on 1 Corinthians 11:4-15

4Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.
5And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for it is just as if her head were shaved.
6If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off. And if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.
7A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.
8For man did not come from woman, but woman from man.
9Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.
10For this reason a woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.
11In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.
12For just as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.
13Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
14Doesn’ t nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,
15but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering.
— 1 Corinthians 11:4-15
