1. Be followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
2. Now I praise you, brethren, because you remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
3. But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
4. Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.
5. But every woman that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head: for that is one and the same as if she were shaven.
6. For if the woman is not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
7. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
8. For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
9. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
10. For this cause ought the woman to have authority on her head because of the angels.
