1 Corinthians 11:7 in Context — 1 Corinthians 11

5 Mas toda mujer que ora ó profetiza no cubierta su cabeza, afrenta su cabeza; porque lo mismo es que si se rayese.

6 Porque si la mujer no se cubre, trasquílese también: y si es deshonesto á la mujer trasquilarse ó raerse, cúbrase.

7 Porque el varón no ha de cubrir la cabeza, porque es imagen y gloria de Dios: mas la mujer es gloria del varón.

8 Porque el varón no es de la mujer, sino la mujer del varón.

9 Porque tampoco el varón fué criado por causa de la mujer, sino la mujer por causa del varón.
