11. Nevertheless, neither is woman anything apart from man, nor is man anything apart from woman in the Lord.
12. For just as the woman is from the man, thus also the man is through the woman. But all things are from God.
13. You judge for yourselves: is it fitting for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
14. And does not nature itself teach you that a man, if he wears long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
15. But a woman, if she wears long hair, it is her glory, because her hair is given for a covering.
16. But if anyone is disposed to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.
17. But in giving this instruction I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.
18. For in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.
19. For indeed it is necessary that there be factions among you, in order that those who are approved may become evident among you.
