1 Corinthians 11:3

---

← 1 Corinthians 11:2	1 Corinthians 11:3 (KJV)	1 Corinthians 11:4 →
Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered [them] to you.	But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman [is] the man; and the head of Christ [is] God.	Every man praying or prophesying, having [his] head covered, dishonoureth his head.
