1 Corinthians 11:4

← 1 Corinthians 11:3	1 Corinthians 11:4 (KJV)	1 Corinthians 11:5 →
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.	But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with [her] head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
