1 Corinthians 11:10-12
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
10 For this reason, the woman ought to be having authority[a] on her head because of the angels[b]. 11 Nevertheless[c] there is neither woman without man, nor man without woman in the Lord. 12 For just as the woman is from the man, so also the man is through the woman. And all things are from God.
