8. Man did not come from woman. Woman came from man.
9. And man was not made for woman. Woman was made for man.
10. So that is why a woman should have her head covered with something that shows she is under authority. Also, she should do this because of the angels.
11. But in the Lord the woman needs the man, and the man needs the woman.
12. This is true because woman came from man, but also man is born from woman. Really, everything comes from God.
13. Decide this for yourselves: Is it right for a woman to pray to God without something on her head?
14. Even nature itself teaches you that wearing long hair is shameful for a man.
15. But wearing long hair is a woman’s honor. Long hair is given to the woman to cover her head.
16. Some people may still want to argue about this. But we and the churches of God don’t accept what those people are doing.
17. In the things I tell you now I don’t praise you. Your meetings hurt you more than they help you.
18. First, I hear that when you meet together as a church you are divided. And this is not hard to believe
19. because of your idea that you must have separate groups to show who the real believers are!
20. When you all come together, it is not really the Lord’s Supper you are eating.
