From verse 5

  1. 1 Corinthians 11:4–15Rank 1 from verse 5
    Open

    4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.

    5But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

    6For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

    7For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

    8For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.

    9Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

    10For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

    11Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

    12For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.

    13Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?

    14Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

    15But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

  2. Deuteronomy 18:12Rank 2 from verse 5
    Open

    12For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
