1. Follow me as I follow Christ.
2. I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions as I delivered them to you.
3. But I would have you know that the head of the woman is the man, the head of every man is Christ, 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 the same as if she were shaved.
6. For if the woman is not covered, let her also cut off her hair. But if it is a shame for a woman to have her hair cut off or shaved, let her be covered.
7. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, because he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.
8. The man is not from the woman, but the woman from the man.
9. The man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man.
10. For this reason the woman ought to have a veil of authority over her head, because of the angels.
11. Nevertheless, neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man in the Lord.
12. For just as the woman came from the man, so the man comes through the woman, but all things come from God.
