    11But the woman is not separate from the man, and the man is not separate from the woman in the Lord.

    12For as the woman is from the man, so the man is through the woman; but all things are from God.

    13Be judges yourselves of the question: does it seem right for a woman to take part in prayer unveiled?

    14Does it not seem natural to you that if a man has long hair, it is a cause of shame 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.

    17But in giving you this order, there is one thing about which I am not pleased: it is that when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.

    18For first of all, it has come to my ears that when you come together in the church, there are divisions among you, and I take the statement to be true in part.

    19For divisions are necessary among you, in order that those who have God's approval may be clearly seen among you.

    3But it is important for you to keep this fact in mind, 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 who takes part in prayer, or gives teaching as a prophet, with his head covered, puts shame on his head.

    5But every woman who does so with her head unveiled, puts shame on her head: for it is the same as if her hair was cut off.

    6For if a woman is not veiled, let her hair be cut off; but if it is a shame to a woman to have her hair cut off, let her be veiled.

    7For it is not right for a man to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

    8For the man did not come from the woman, but the woman from the man.

    33For God is not a God whose ways are without order, but a God of peace; as in all the churches of the saints.

    34Let women keep quiet in the churches: for it is not right for them to be talking; but let them be under control, as it says in the law.

    35And if they have a desire for knowledge about anything, let them put questions to their husbands privately: for talking in the church puts shame on a woman.
