    3But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.

    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.

    10For this cause the woman ought to have authority on her head, because of the angels.

    11Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord.

    12For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.

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