And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for it is just as if her head were shaved.

The verses around it, from 1 Corinthians 11.
1 You are to imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.
2 Now I commend you for remembering me in everything and for maintaining the traditions, just as I passed them on to you.
3 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.
5 And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for it is just as if her head were shaved.
6 If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off. And if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.
7 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.
8 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man.
9 Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.
