1. Follow my example, just as I follow the example of Christ.
2. I praise you because you remember me in all things. You follow closely the teachings I gave you.
3. But I want you to understand this: The head of every man is Christ. And the head of a woman is the man. And the head of Christ is God.
4. Every man who prophesies or prays with his head covered brings shame to his head.
5. But every woman who prays or prophesies should have her head covered. If her head is not covered, she brings shame to her head. Then she is the same as a woman who has her head shaved.
6. If a woman does not cover her head, it is the same as cutting off all her hair. But it is shameful for a woman to cut off her hair or to shave her head. So she should cover her head.
7. But a man should not cover his head, because he is made like God and is God’s glory. But woman is man’s glory.
8. Man did not come from woman. Woman came from man.
9. And man was not made for woman. Woman was made for man.
