    4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.

    5But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.

    6For 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.

    7For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.

    8For man is not from woman, but woman from man;

    9for neither was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.

    13Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?

    14Doesn't even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?

    15But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given to her for a covering.

    3Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing;

    4but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God very precious.

    5For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:

    6as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are, if you do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.

    7You husbands, in the same way, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers may not be hindered.
