He who doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who sent him. 24 "Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. 25 Most certainly, I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God's voice; and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself. 27 He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man. 28 Don't marvel at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice, 29 and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment. 30 I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I don't seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.

    4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.

    5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.

    6 For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.

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

    8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man;

    9 for neither was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.

    10 For this cause the woman ought to have authority on her head, because of the angels.

    11 Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord.

    12 For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.

    13 Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?

    14 Doesn't even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?

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

    16 But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God's assemblies.
