1 Corinthians 11:2-16
The head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
Every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head.
A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.
Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory. For long hair is given to her as a covering.
Because of the angels, the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head.
If anyone wants to be contentions about this, we have no other practice- not do the churches of God.
Why?
Since Jewish customs differed from those of the Greeks and Romans, Paul needs to give a ruling about what is the proper dressing for men and women when they pray and prophesy in the church.
Paul was writing to the most licentious city in the ancient world, and in such a place modesty had to be observed and more than observed; it is quite unfair to wrest a local ruling from the circumstances in which it was given, and to make it a universal principle.
In Jewish teaching the angels represent order. A woman who does not cover her long hair when she prays aloud in church or speaks God's message contravenes the proper order in worship.
Man to be a head of woman should takes the responsibility to protest and cover his woman. A woman should obey his husband in Christ Jesus.
Under the kingdom of the Lord, there is not personal freedom or right, but the way of God. Walking on the way of God we are free.
How?
When I pray or worship in church or public should have proper dressing. For all of us are created by God, we are the glory of the Lord. Keeping the order in church.
