Christian Order

1 aBe imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.

2 Now aI praise you because you bremember me in everything and chold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you.

3 But I want you to understand that 1Christ is the ahead of every man, and bthe man is the head of a woman, and God is the chead of 1Christ.

4 Every man who has something on his head while praying or aprophesying disgraces his head.

5 But every awoman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for she is one and the same as the woman 1whose head is bshaved.

6 For if a woman does not cover 1her head, let her also 2have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to 2have her hair cut off or 1her head shaved, let her cover 1her head.

7 For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the aimage and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

8 For aman 1does not originate from woman, but woman from man;

9 for indeed man was not created for the woman’s sake, but awoman for the man’s sake.
