    8For man was not made from woman, but woman from man.

    9Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.

    10For this reason, a woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head because of the angels.

    11Nevertheless, in the Lord, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.
