I Corinthians 11:2-16
\nHead Coverings for Women<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Today, 05\/17\/2023, let us, together in the grace of God, rejoice and reflect on the Word of God in I Corinthians 11:2-16.<\/span><\/p>\n

2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

3 But 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.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

6 For 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.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

7 For 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.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

[King James Version]<\/span><\/p>\n
