1 Corinthians 11:8 Context
6For if the woman be not couered, let her also bee shorne: but if it bee a shame for a woman to be shorne or shauen, let her be couered. 7For a man in deede ought not to couer his head, forasmuch as hee is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. 8For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. 9Neither was the man created for the woman: but the woman for the man. 10For this cause ought the woman to haue power on her head, because of the Angels.
