1 Corinthians 11:7-12

Honor, Worship Order, and the Lord’s Supper Under the Lordship of Christ

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

7 A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

8 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man.

9 Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.

10 For this reason a woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.

11 In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.

12 For just as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.
