1. Be imitators of me, as I also am of Christ.
2. Now I praise you, brothers, because you are mindful of me in everything, in such a way as to hold to my precepts as I have handed them down to you.
3. So I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ. But the head of woman is man. Yet truly, the head of Christ is God.
4. Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered disgraces his head.
5. But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered disgraces her head. For it is the same as if her head were shaven.
6. So if a woman is not veiled, let her hair be cut off. Truly then, if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off, or to have her head shaven, then she should cover her head.
