1 Corinthians 11:12-18 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

12. For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman, and all things come from God.

13. Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

14. Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair it is a disgrace to him,

15. but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her as a covering.

16. But if anyone wants to argue about this, we have no other custom, nor do the churches of God.

17. Now in giving the following instruction I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse.

18. For to begin with, I hear that when you come together as a church there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.
