1. Become imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.
2. Now I praise you that you remember me in all things, and just as I handed over to you the traditions, you hold fast to them.
3. But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of the woman, and the head of Christ is God.
4. Every man who prays or prophesies while having something on his head dishonors his head,
5. but every woman who prays or prophesies with uncovered head dishonors her head, for she is one and the same with the one whose head is shaved.
6. For if a woman does not cover herself, let her hair be shorn off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her head shorn or shaved, let her cover her head.
7. For indeed a man ought not to cover his head, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.
8. For man is not from woman, but woman from man.
