3But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.Select 1 Corinthians 11:3

4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.Select 1 Corinthians 11:4

5But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.Select 1 Corinthians 11:5

6For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.Select 1 Corinthians 11:6

7For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.Select 1 Corinthians 11:7
