1 Corinthians 11:7

7 For man indeed ought not to have his head covered, being God's image and glory; but woman is man's glory.

1 Corinthians 11:7 In-Context

5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered puts her own head to shame; for it is one and the same as a shaved [woman].
6 For if a woman be not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if [it be] shameful to a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, let her be covered.
7 For man indeed ought not to have his head covered, being God's image and glory; but woman is man's glory.
8 For man is not of woman, but woman of man.
9 For also man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake of the man.
