    3But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.

    4Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.

    5But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head; it is the same as if her head were shaved.

    6For if a woman does not cover her head, she should cut her hair short; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to cut her hair or shave her head, then she should cover her head.

    7A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

    8For man was not made from woman, but woman from man.
