1So take me for your example, even as I take Christ for mine.
2Now I am pleased to see that you keep me in memory in all things, and that you give attention to the teaching which was handed down from me to you.
3But it is important for you to keep this fact in mind, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.
4Every man who takes part in prayer, or gives teaching as a prophet, with his head covered, puts shame on his head.
5But every woman who does so with her head unveiled, puts shame on her head: for it is the same as if her hair was cut off.
6For if a woman is not veiled, let her hair be cut off; but if it is a shame to a woman to have her hair cut off, let her be veiled.
7For it is not right for a man to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
