    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, dishonoreth his head.

    5But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonoreth her head; for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven.

    6For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.

    7For a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

    8For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man:

    9for neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man:

    14Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a dishonor to him?

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

    9In like manner, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly raiment;

    10but (which becometh women professing godliness) through good works.

    11Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.

    12But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness.

    13For Adam was first formed, then Eve;

    3Whose [adorning] let it not be the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on apparel;

    4but [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible [apparel] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

    5For after this manner aforetime the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:

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

    7Ye husbands, in like manner, dwell with [your wives] according to knowledge, giving honor unto the woman, as unto the weaker vessel, as being also joint-heirs of the grace of life; to the end that your prayers be not hindered.
