1 Corinthians 11:6

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.

Berean Standard Bible

In The King James Version

For 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.

5And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for it is just as if her head were shaved.

7A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.
