And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for it is just as if her head were shaved.Read from KJV · Church - Part 5
6
If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off. And if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.Read from KJV · Studies in Hebrews - Part 3

A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.Read from KJV · Church - Part 4

In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.Read from KJV · Church - Part 4
14
Doesn't nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,Read from KJV · Church - Part 4

Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.Read from KJV · Church - Part 5
28
Each one must examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup.Read from KJV · Church - Part 5

23
and the parts we consider less honorable, we treat with greater honor. And our unpresentable parts are treated with special modesty,Read from KJV · Church - Part 2
24
whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God has composed the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it,Read from KJV · Church - Part 2
25
so that there should be no division in the body, but that its members should have mutual concern for one another.Read from KJV · Church - Part 2
