    3But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.

    4Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered disgraces his head.

    5But any woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered disgraces her head, for it is one and the same thing as having a shaved head.

    6For if a woman will not cover her head, she should cut off her hair. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, she should cover her head.

    7For a man should not have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.

    8For man did not come from woman, but woman from man.

    9Neither was man created for the sake of woman, but woman for man.

    11In any case, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.

    12For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman. But all things come from God.

    13Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

    14Does not nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace for him,

    15but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering.

    16If anyone intends to quarrel about this, we have no other practice, nor do the churches of God.

    9Conduct of Women Likewise the women are to dress in suitable apparel, with modesty and self-control. Their adornment must not be with braided hair and gold or pearls or expensive clothing,

    10but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess reverence for God.

    11A woman must learn quietly with all submissiveness.

    12But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man. She must remain quiet.

    13For Adam was formed first and then Eve.

    14And Adam was not deceived, but the woman, because she was fully deceived, fell into transgression.

    15But she will be delivered through childbearing, if she continues in faith and love and holiness with self-control.

    33for God is not characterized by disorder but by peace.As in all the churches of the saints,

    34the women should be silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak. Rather, let them be in submission, as in fact the law says.

    35If they want to find out about something, they should ask their husbands at home, because it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in church.

    36Did the word of God begin with you, or did it come to you alone?

    3Let your beauty not be external– the braiding of hair and wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes–

    4but the inner person of the heart, the lasting beauty of a gentle and tranquil spirit, which is precious in God’s sight.

    5For in the same way the holy women who hoped in God long ago adorned themselves by being subject to their husbands,

    6like Sarah who obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. You become her children when you do what is good and have no fear in doing so.

    7Husbands, in the same way, treat your wives with consideration as the weaker partners and show them honor as fellow heirs of the grace of life. In this way nothing will hinder your prayers.
