11:5-6
…but every wife who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonours her head, since it is the same as if her head were shaven. [6] For if a wife will not cover her head, then she should cut her hair short. But since it is disgraceful for a wife to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her head.
11:13
Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a wife to pray to God with her head uncovered?

“Women in first-century Eastern Mediterranean culture covered their hair when they got married. Hair was the chief element of female beauty, so only a husband was to view his wife’s hair. Uncovered hair was thus associated with seduction.”

1 Corinthians 11:3
But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.
1 Corinthians 11:7-9 For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man. [8] For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. [9] Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.

“They understand head in the sense of hierarchy or divine order, in which the man directs and leads the woman. Others think head means “source.” They see head as referring to Adam (the 1st man) as the source of Eve (the 1st Woman). Rather than a hierarchy between men and woman, there is an interdependent and equal relationship”

1 Corinthians 11:20-22
When you come together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat. [21] For in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal. One goes hungry, another gets drunk. [22] What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you in this? No, I will not.

1 Corinthians 11:23-26
For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, [24] and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
[25] In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” [26] For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. [29] For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. [30] That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.

1 Corinthians 12:12-16
For just as the body is ONE and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are ONE body, so it is with Christ. [13] For in ONE Spirit we were all baptized into ONE body— Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of ONE Spirit.
[14] For the body does not consist of ONE member but of many. [15] If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. [16] And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.

If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? [18] But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each ONE of them, as he chose. [19] If all were a single member, where would the body be? [20] As it is, there are many parts, yet ONE body. [21] The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” [22] On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,

and on those parts of the body that we think less honourable we bestow the greater honour, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, [24] which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honour to the part that lacked it, [25] that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for ONE another. [26] If ONE member suffers, all suffer together; if ONE member is honoured, all rejoice together.

Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.

[29] Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? [30] Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? [31] But earnestly desire the higher gifts.
