New Testament

1 Corinthians 11:9-15 Common English Bible (CEB)

9. and man wasn’t created for the sake of the woman, but the woman for the sake of the man.

10. Because of this a woman should have authority over her head, because of the angels.

11. However, woman isn’t independent from man, and man isn’t independent from woman in the Lord.

12. As woman came from man so also man comes from woman. But everything comes from God.

13. Judge for yourselves: Is it appropriate for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

14. Doesn’t nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him;

15. but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? This is because her long hair is given to her for a covering.
