    3But I would have you know, 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 praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.

    5But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

    6For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

    7For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

    8For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
