1 Corinthians 11:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 [a]For a man ought not to cover his head: forasmuch as he is the (A)image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
8 [b]For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man.
9 (B)[c]For the man was not created for the woman’s sake: but the woman for the man’s sake.
