1. Korinterbrev 11,9

7 En mann bør ikke dekke sitt hode, siden han er Guds bilde og ære; men kvinnen er mannens ære.

8 For mannen kommer ikke fra kvinnen, men kvinnen kommer fra mannen;

For mannen ble nemlig ikke skapt for kvinnens skyld, men kvinnen for mannens skyld.

10 Derfor bør en kvinne ha et tegn på autoritet på sitt hode, på grunn av englene.

11 Men i Herren er kvinnen ikke adskilt fra mannen, og mannen er ikke adskilt fra kvinnen.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
