    4Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.

    5But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is the same as if she were shaved.

    6For if a woman is not covered, let her be shorn; but if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.

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