1 Corinthians 11:8 in context

  1. 6For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.
  2. 7For a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
  3. 8For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man:
  4. 9for neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man:
  5. 10for this cause ought the woman to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.
