1 Corinthians 11:3-16, Headship, & Head Coverings

1 Corinthians 11:3-16  But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. 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. For 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. For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels. Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God. Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God. KJV

Have you wondered what this passage in 1 Corinthians 11 is referring to? And what it means in today's world? If you are like me, I am sure some of these questions have come up. Should a woman wear a head covering? Is it wrong for a man to wear a hat? What is the truth about headship in the Bible? Why is there a command about headship? Who am I to submit to? If I am married (women) do I submit to my husband or Jesus? Do men and women both submit to their pastor, rabbi, priest, etc?

These are all very good questions! I am happy to say that (thinks to a FB post) I found a good teaching from 119 Ministries that answers a lot of these questions in a short 40min video.

Dad and I both watched this video today. I found it really good. It answered a few questions regarding men having their heads covered in prayer, headship and why, should a married woman wear a covering? And should a single woman wear a covering? Etc. So, for any men and women who have been wondering about the above Scripture passage, this video is a good start for you learning pleasure.

For any women who wear or are interesting in wearing a head covering, here is a good online shop to get some really nice head coverings.



I found this shop two weeks ago form a friends post on FB. The shop owner is a VERY nice lady and ships SUPER FAST! And unlike another head covering online shop that I've boughten from in the past, at The Tichel Shop, you will actually get all the items you payed for! Praise Yah/God! :)

I hope this post blesses you and finds you well.
God bless & Shalom!
