³Now I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ. The head of the woman is the man. And the head of Christ is God. ⁴Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered brings shame on his head. ⁵And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered brings shame on her head. It is just as if her head were shaved.

⁶What if a woman does not cover her head? She should have her hair cut off. But it is shameful for her to cut her hair or shave it off. So she should cover her head.

⁷A man should not cover his head. He is the likeness and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man. ⁸The man did not come from the woman. The woman came from the man.

⁹Also, the man was not created for the woman. The woman was created for the man. ¹⁰That’s why a woman should have her head covered. It shows that she is under authority. She should also cover her head because of the angels.

¹¹But here is how things are for those who belong to the Lord. The woman is not independent of the man. And the man is not independent of the woman. ¹²The woman came from the man, and the man is born from the woman. But everything comes from God.

¹³You be the judge. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God without covering her head? ¹⁴Suppose a man has long hair. Doesn’t the very nature of things teach you that it is shameful? ¹⁵And suppose a woman has long hair. Doesn’t the very nature of things teach you that it is her glory? Long hair is given to her as a covering.

¹⁶If anyone wants to argue about that, we don’t have any other practice. And God’s churches don’t either.
