    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.

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

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

    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?

    3Do not let your ornaments be those of the body such as dressing of the hair, or putting on of jewels of gold or fair clothing;

    4But let them be those of the unseen man of the heart, the ever-shining ornament of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great price in the eyes of God.

    5And these were the ornaments of the holy women of the past, whose hope was in God, being ruled by their husbands:

    6As Sarah was ruled by Abraham, naming him lord; whose children you are if you do well, and are not put in fear by any danger.
