1 Corinthians - ch 11 v 1 - 20
- Followers of me become ye, as I also `am' of Christ.
- And I praise you, brethren, that in all things ye remember me, and according as I did deliver to you, the deliverances ye keep,
- and I wish you to know that of every man the head is the Christ, and the head of a woman is the husband, and the head of Christ is God.
- Every man praying or prophesying, having the head covered, doth dishonour his head,
- and every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered, doth dishonour her own head, for it is one and the same thing with her being shaven,
- for if a woman is not covered -- then let her be shorn, and if `it is' a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven -- let her be covered;
- for a man, indeed, ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God, and a woman is the glory of a man,
- for a man is not of a woman, but a woman `is' of a man,
- for a man also was not created because of the woman, but a woman because of the man;
- because of this the woman ought to have `a token of' authority upon the head, because of the messengers;
- but neither `is' a man apart from a woman, nor a woman apart from a man, in the Lord,
- for as the woman `is' of the man, so also the man `is' through the woman, and the all things `are' of God.
- In your own selves judge ye; is it seemly for a woman uncovered to pray to God?
- doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man indeed have long hair, a dishonour it is to him?
- and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her;
- and if any one doth think to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the assemblies of God.
- And this declaring, I give no praise, because not for the better, but for the worse ye come together;
- for first, indeed, ye coming together in an assembly, I hear of divisions being among you, and partly I believe `it',
- for it behoveth sects also to be among you, that those approved may become manifest among you;
- ye, then, coming together at the same place -- it is not to eat the Lord's supper;
