    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.

    10For this reason a woman should have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

    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.
