1 Corinthians 11 — Context

So take me for your example, even as I take Christ for mine.

Now I am pleased to see that you keep me in memory in all things, and that you give attention to the teaching which was handed down from me to you.

But it is important for you to keep this fact in mind, 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 who takes part in prayer, or gives teaching as a prophet, with his head covered, puts shame on his head.
