1 Corinthians 11:8-13

Head Coverings

8 For l man was not made from woman, but woman from man. 9 Neither was man created for woman, but m woman for man. 10 That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. 1 11 Nevertheless, n in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman; 12 for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And o all things are from God. 13 Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a wife to pray to God with her head uncovered?
