New Testament

1 Corinthians 11:10-16 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

10. Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

11. However, in the Lord, neither is woman independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.

12. For as the woman originates from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman; and all things originate from God.

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

14. Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him,

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

16. But if one is inclined to be contentious, we have no other practice, nor have the churches of God.
