1
Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.
2
Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you.
3
But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
4
Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.
5
But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved.
6
For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.
7
For a man indeed 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 is not from woman, but woman from man.
9
Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.
10
For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.
