    9For the man was not created for the womans sake: but the woman for the mans sake.

    10Therefore ought the woman to haue power on her head, because of the Angels.

    11Neuertheles, neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man in the Lord.

    12For as the woman is of the man, so is the man also by the woman: but all things are of God.

    13Iudge in your selues, Is it comely that a woman pray vnto God vncouered?

    3But I wil that ye know, that Christ is the head of euery man: and the man is the womans head: and God is Christs head.

    4Euery man praying or prophecying hauing any thing on his head, dishonoureth his head.

    5But euery woman that prayeth or prophecieth bare headed, dishonoureth her head: for it is euen one very thing, as though she were shauen.

    6Therefore if the woman be not couered, let her also be shorne: and if it be shame for a woman to be shorne or shauen, let her be couered.

    7For a man ought not to couer his head: for as much as he is the image & glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
