    6 For 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.

    7 For 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.

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

    9 And the man was not made for the woman, but the woman for the man.

    10 For this reason it is right for the woman to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.

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

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

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

    16 But if any man will not be ruled in this question, this is not our way of doing things, and it is not done in the churches of God.
