headship

Genesis Chapter 2:24

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:1

Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:2

Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:3

But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:4

Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:5

But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:6

For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:7

For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:8

For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:9

Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:10

For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:11

Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:12

For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:13

Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:14

Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:15

But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:16

But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:17

Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:18

For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:19

For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:20

When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:21

For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:22

What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:23

For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:24

And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:25

After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:26

For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:27

Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:28

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:29

For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:30

For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:31

For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:32

But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:33

Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.

1 Corinthians Chapter 11:34

And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

Galatians Chapter 3:28

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians Chapter 5:22

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

Ephesians Chapter 5:23

For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

Ephesians Chapter 5:24

Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

Ephesians Chapter 5:25

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

Ephesians Chapter 5:26

That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

Ephesians Chapter 5:27

That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

Ephesians Chapter 5:28

So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

Ephesians Chapter 5:29

For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

Ephesians Chapter 5:30

For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

Ephesians Chapter 5:31

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

Ephesians Chapter 5:32

This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

Ephesians Chapter 5:33

Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
