3. Now I want you to know that Christ is the head over all men, and a man is the head over a woman. But God is the head over Christ.
4. This means that any man who prays or prophesies with something on his head brings shame to his head.
5. But any woman who prays or prophesies without something on her head brings shame to her head. In fact, she may as well shave her head.
6. A woman should wear something on her head. It is a disgrace for a woman to shave her head or cut her hair. But if she refuses to wear something on her head, let her cut off her hair.
7. Men were created to be like God and to bring honour to God. This means that a man should not wear anything on his head. Women were created to bring honour to men.
8. It was the woman who was made from a man, and not the man who was made from a woman.
9. He wasn't created for her. She was created for him.
10. And so, because of this, and also because of the angels, a woman ought to wear something on her head, as a sign of her authority.
11. As far as the Lord is concerned, men and women need each other.
12. It is true that the first woman came from a man, but all other men have been given birth by women. Yet God is the one who created everything.
13. Ask yourselves if it is proper for a woman to pray without something on her head.
14. Isn't it unnatural and disgraceful for men to have long hair?
