1. Be imitators of me, as I also am of Christ.
2. Now I praise you, brothers, because you are mindful of me in everything, in such a way as to hold to my precepts as I have handed them down to you.
3. So I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ. But the head of woman is man. Yet truly, the head of Christ is God.
4. Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered disgraces his head.
5. But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered disgraces her head. For it is the same as if her head were shaven.
6. So if a woman is not veiled, let her hair be cut off. Truly then, if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off, or to have her head shaven, then she should cover her head.
7. Certainly, a man ought not to cover his head, for he is the image and glory of God. But woman is the glory of man.
8. For man is not of woman, but woman is of man.
9. And indeed, man was not created for woman, but woman was created for man.
10. Therefore, a woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the Angels.
