THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

1 Corinthians 11:3 in context

1 Corinthians 11:1–6

Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.

Now I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.

Selected verse

But I would have you know that the head^† of every man is Christ, and the head^† of the woman is man, and the head^† of Christ is God.

Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.

But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.

For if a woman is not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or be shaved, let her be covered.
