    1Wives and Husbands In the same way, wives, be subject to your own husbands. Then, even if some are disobedient to the word, they will be won over without a word by the way you live,

    2when they see your pure and reverent conduct.

    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.

    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.

    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?
