    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.

    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.
