1 Corinthians 11:4-10
New American Standard Bible
4 Every man who has something on his head while praying or (A)prophesying disgraces his head. 5 But every (B)woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for it is one and the same as the woman [a]whose head is (C)shaved. 6 For if a woman does not cover [b]her head, have her also [c]cut her hair off; however, if it is disgraceful for a woman to [d]have her hair cut off or [e]her head shaved, have her cover [f]her head. 7 For a man should not have his head covered, since he is the (D)image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. 8 For (E)man [g]does not originate from woman, but woman from man; 9 for indeed man was not created for the woman’s sake, but (F)woman for the man’s sake. 10 Therefore the woman should have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

New International Version
4 Every man who prays or prophesies(A) with his head covered dishonors his head. 5 But every woman who prays or prophesies(B) with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved.(C) 6 For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.
7 A man ought not to cover his head,[a] since he is the image(D) and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. 8 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man;(E) 9 neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.(F) 10 It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own[b] head, because of the angels.
