    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.

    9Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

    10For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

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

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

    13Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?

    3Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

    4But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

    5For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:

    6Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
