1 Corinthians 11:3, 8-9, 11-12 But I want you to understand this: The head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God. Man did not come from woman, but woman came from man. And man was not made for woman, but woman was made for man. But in the Lord women are not independent of men, and men are not independent of women. This is true because woman came from man, but also man is born from woman. But everything comes from God. | New Century Version (NCV)
