New Testament

1 Corinthians 11:12-20 New King James Version (NKJV)

12. For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God.

13. Judge among 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 anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.

17. Now in giving these instructions I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse.

18. For first of all, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.

19. For there must also be factions among you, that those who are approved may be recognized among you.

20. Therefore when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper.
