    3But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.

    5But 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.

    6For 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.

    7For 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.
