1 Corinthians 11:4-6
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Do Not Shame Your Head By How You Dress
4 Every[a] man praying or prophesying while having a covering down over his head is shaming[b] his head[c]. 5 And every woman praying or prophesying with the head unveiled[d] is shaming her head, for she is one and the same[e] with the one having been shaved. 6 For if a woman is not veiling-herself , let her also[f] have-herself-sheared. But if it is shameful for a woman to have-herself-sheared or shaved, let her be veiling-herself.
